Lose It! or My Fitness Pal ?

Does anyone use either of these programs? I've been using LoseIt! for quite some time, but I have no "buddies" on there because most people use other programs. I really don't want to start over with a new program, because I've got a lot of time invested in inputting my own recipies, foods, etc into LoseIt, but if there are more people using MyFitnessPal maybe I should think of switching.. ? I think that after I have my sleeve done in June that all the support I can get will be lots of help.

Thoughts?

I use my fitness pal. Same username as here. Love my fitness pal!

I use MFP, I also have it tied in with my fitbit! Haven't used any others so I can't tell you if it's better or not.

Hi I love my fitness pal I have not tried the other but my fitness pal is great i can chart everything from my macbook pro, iphone or ipad its great and I love it. Also my doctor can see what I have been eating without me keeping a separate journal.

I am a huge fan of MFP. I use it on my phone, my tablet, and my work computer. It depends where I'm at and what I'm doing. You can control your settings and it tracks everything for you. I have even printed my pages a time or two. :)

However, to be fair, I don't know anything about LoseIt!

MFP seems to have more food already entered into its database, with Lose it, I was constantly having to enter my own custom foods.

I originally used Lose it before I was considering WLS, then switched to MFP during the pre op diet, switched briefly back to Lose it post op, w I'm back on MFP.. I consider MFP to be a better fit for me. MFP also has a Windows Phone app, Lose it does not, so that was also a deciding factor for me.

I am on MFP - I've actually never heard of Lose It - I'll have to check it out! There's also a site that you can sign up to do challenges for money - I forget what that one is called though.

I prefer lose it. I tried the other, but it just wasn't the same to me. So I just stick with lose it.
