FitNow, Inc - Lose It! App for iPod Touch/iPhone Reviews

MartinHdez Reviewing LooseIt for iPhone

My weight has been increasing slowly, but steadily over the last 30 years.  It peaked around 195 Lbs on December 2007.  I finally decided to get serious about it early 2008.  I re-joined a Gym and started a routine on my own.  I probably lost 5 pounds in 5 months.  I was not happy with progress so I incorporated 3 times a week sessions with a personal trainer.   From July 2008 to January 2009 with the aid of the trainer, I lost about 20 Lbs.  I was much happier with those results, but I was stuck around 170 lbs for few weeks.  I decided then to use...

UPDATE: August 21st, 2009, 10:10pm: I have been using this app for awhile now and so far I have lost 40 lbs! Yay! So it really does help - you just have to stick to it and add in an exercise regimen. I recommend it to everyone who needs to lose weight. I'm still using it to help keep me in line.

I decided to try out this app because it's free and I'm still trying to lose the baby weight from having my daughter 19 months ago (ugh!). I figured, "What the heck - it's free!"

Well, this is the best free app I've ever downloaded! It tracks everything - your weight gain/loss, your calories, exercises...

It's a great app for doing 2 things: tracking what you eat and what you burn (exercise) and those 2 things are key to losing weight, getting in shape, and living healthy. 

Things I like are: the quite extensive database is offline, so I don't have to be connected to use the app (I have an iPod Touch), the interface looks nice, it doesn't try to do too much (it has it's function and does it well, no need to bog it down with useless functions). It's free! Other apps that don't do half what this one does, charge for their apps. You can add your own foods, recipes, & exercises.

Things I don't like...

Let me first start off by saying that I am new to calorie counting and maintaining a food log.

Lose it! Application for iPhone 3GS is effortless to use. You'll always have your log because you always have your phone, battery life remaining of course.

I started this program about 1.5 weeks ago and am already down 2 lbs! (woo hoo!)

The reason why I think it's working is because keeping track of your daily intake makes you more self aware.  I have been under my calorie budget most days. Keep in mind, you must be honest with yourself or you won't see results. If you had some candy, (ok, ok the...
