I found this application called Lose It! on the app store. It allows you to set a calorie/carb/fiber intake goal for the day and track what you eat as well as track your exercise and how many calories you are burning and taking in. The cool thing is it also tracks your weight loss! It has helped me already and I figured some of you would be interested in it :bananalama:

And it's FREE!

That link will open in iTunes.

Hmmm, that sounds interesting! I'll have to check it out. Thanks!! Wonder if you can just use the exercise part of it? I could use some help with that.

My problem with all of the food/calorie trackers is that I cook a lot of fresh foods and make up recipes as well as use recipes from all over. Unless I enter all the ingredients into the tracker, I can't know for sure what my calorie intake is. It'd be different if I was using canned Soup instead of making my own. But I just don't have time to enter all of that in. Just the other night I made up a soup based on a side dish I make. Great, healthy soup but I have no idea what the calorie content of it would be!

I enter in the recipes into The Daily Plate as meals and then adjust the portion size to be how much of what I made I ate.

Like tonight I made "Mexican Egg Bites" and I put in all the ingredients and, since I ate 2 out of 24, put in .08 for the serving. It works really well for me.

For an iPhone app to help with exercise, I have RunTracker. They are giving away a free version (or were when I downloaded it). It keeps track of my time, distance, pace, etc. and plots out my route on a map. I use it for cycling mostly since I run on a treadmill or a track more than on the street.

It has some glitches, but it was FREE! :biggrin:

TDP/Livestrong.com has an iphone/itouch app too! it's really good!! and freeeeee

I use ShapeUp and I love it. I've been using it for over a month and I'm still not sick of entering the details each day and I love the little graphs and calendar. I also use WeightBot everyday to track my weight I love that too.

Hey guys and gals

I have lose it app for my iphone and I love it. It helps me keep track of the things I'm eating and plus it tell me how many calories I can eat in order to lose the weight I need.

So if you don't have the app. try and get it is soooo useful; however if you don't have a iphone or ipod touch you can do livestrong daily plate online which is just as good.
