http://www.loseit.com (For non-iPhone/iPod Touch users)
The program is designed to help users determine a caloric limit based on their gender, age, height and weight (basically the BMI scale), which in turn provide a basic metabolic rate (BMR). The Lose It formula gives each user the option, whether they want to set up their caloric limit to maintain their weight, or lose anywhere from 1/2 pound to 2 pounds per week. The formula then determines how much of a caloric deficit each user need to run per day to lose however much the user specifies. The caloric limit will adjust based on weigh-in figures, which will lower or raise the caloric limit according to the weight trend. Users can also enter any variety of exercises they might do, which will be figured into each daily log.
I've had several friends do very well using this application, the one I mentioned earlier used this program exclusively and lost about 40-50 lbs, and another good friend of mine has been using the program for about 4-5 weeks and has lost nearly 20 lbs.
It's been helpful for me too, and I'll post some updates about how things come along as I continue to use the program. Laurelin decided to start an account too, to track her food intake (though she needs far less help than I do!).
If you create an account, feel free to add me as a "friend" by searching using my name or email, ddnesbitt (at) gmail.com.
Check it out!

I've been using it since Day 1, great application. Now that I've filled it with months of data, the charts & graphs on the website are really neat to review.
ReplyDeleteIf you are an Android user, try MyFitnessPal... It seems to be pretty similar to what this looks like.
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding that! Glad the Android users have something to use, it's a great tool
