Best app for charting weight loss journey

I had gastric sleeve surgery December 18th. I have lost 50 so far, but none the last two weeks. Have started really charting everything much more closely and using this to see where I may have gone off the path. Doing better now, but have been losing a lot of time charting my meals, weight, protein, carbs, calories, and exercise in a journal and looking up all the food info on my phone. Does anyone know of an app that makes keeping track of all of the above parameters faster that I can do on my phone? Would love suggestions! Maybe something designed for bariatric patients? Thanks for any info I can get.

Check out Myfitnesspal that's been the best one I have found....

The Fitbit app will give you some nice charts.

I use my FitBit app to track my weight loss and BMI. It’s super helpful in being able to see trends in my losses and helps me not get frustrated when i hit a stall



HW: 282.2 lbs
SW: 256.4 lbs
CW: 173.0 lbs

Withings scale hooked into the HealthMate app on iPhone - all I have to do is step on the scale each morning and then I can look at weight, BMI and body fat in the app later. I really like the trend line, stops me from hyperfocusing on stalls. HealthMate also tracks steps and I could probably do more with it if I bothered to look.

I use MyFitnessPal for food intake, water intake, exercise, and weight tracking. I use Baritastic because it's weight tracker helps create milestones for you to reach and tells how how close you are to meeting them with percentages. I'm a visual person and I like that. I also like the journal feature they have because after surgery constipation is unfortunately a thing and the journal lets me keep track of that... :3

I use the LoseIt app, it's great for tracking weight loss, as well as logging a food journal. I have the premium membership which also allows me to track measurements and a few other extras.

Baritastic app is great, specifically design for who will have or had surgery [emoji3]




I use this app as well and I love it. They made it so much easier to keep track of all the things you need! [emoji1419]


I also like Lose It. It remembers my foods and makes it easy to track.
