Anybody use a Weight/diet tracker App on their iphone or ipod touch?



Recommended Posts

I use Gyminee and I really like it. I also want to track blood glucose and heart rate and a few other things, so I can customise those in my BodyTracker section, along with weight, etc.

It has a great food database and an ability to create 'recipes'of commonly eaten meals. For example, I eat the same Breakfast on the weekends, so I created one recipe called "Saturday Breakfast" and all I need to do is enter that once.

It isn't an actuall "app" yet, but it does live on my iPhone desktop and one click gets me in ,and it is fast and easy to use.

I have an iphone and use Lose it! also. It's a great program and I don't have to wait until I get home to log into the internet to log my food. You can customize exercises and track your weight. It also have tons of food built into the program. Long lists of supermarket and restaurant food which makes it easy to keep track. And best of all - it's free!

I use Daily Plate via the web and my iPhone. The application is free and if you have a login on the web just use that on the iPhone and it will automatically sync your information to the iPhone. If you want this application and cannot find it on iTunes just search using livestrong. DH suggested I try Lose It instead he likes this one better.

I just downloaded Lose it! and played around with it. It looks very easy to use. I'm excited to start using it. Thanks for mentioning this app - I love that it's free!

I use Lose It! and I love it. It's very easy to use and enter custom foods and exercises. I did change my starting weight in the program so I could adjust my daily budget of calories, though... it had me budgeted at almost 1200, and I wanted to keep it at 1000. (although I'm pretty obsessed with staying 200 calories under budget every day for some reason) Anyways, I love having it with me all the time, being able to see how many calories I have left in the day anywhere I'm at. Good luck!

You can change your daily goal and keep your weight at the actual weight. Mine had me at 1500 calories and I changed it to 1200.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
