marfar7 1,533 Posted March 30, 2013 I've read alot of entries that said that they use myfitnesspal on their phone, but since I've been totally against counting anything, I've avoided it. It now requires me to be more diligent in my weight loss Quest so I finally gave in to the hype. What a great app! They had every food I put in there (including my homemade Swedish meatbals - surprising), give a graph for me calories in/out, exercise, goals, etc. I've been playing with it the better part of the day. It does have a spot to add friends. I know there's alot of you on here (I've invited people from my Facebook too), so I thought maybe you could add me? my name is "marfar7" I spent a better part of my adult counting calories, WW points, fat grams, and more recently - carbs. The reason I had the lapband was to avoid a diet - or counting anything. But, life happens, I've gained 21 lbs over the past year (a minor slip) and have found it necessary to start something. All of Feb was spent on Atkins.I didn't cheat for 4 weeks and lost 14 lbs - only to gain 10 of those back this past month when I started eating carbs again. I knew that would happen. And I luv carbs to much to avoid them. So, I figure counting calories would be my best bet. If I want a piece of pie that worth 300 calories, I just will eat 300 calories less. It's pretty simple really. Wish I had found it sooner. So friend me, pleez! Marci 1 Angelizz10 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morelgirl 177 Posted March 30, 2013 I LOVE Myfitnesspal. Deeply. I have to count calories. If I don't, it's too easy to lie to myself about how much I'm eating. I also love that it counts Protein and let's me keep track of my Water intake. But lately, my favorite part has been the My Recipe function. I love to cook, and lately I've really been getting into adapting my favorite recipes to be band friendly. It's so awesome to be able to add a recipe and let the program tell me exactly how many calories and grams of protein are in a serving of my favorite homemade foods. It's super awesome! 1 Angelizz10 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
