my fitness pal

I find this app an eye opener....no wonder I have lost 30lb in less than 3 weeks ...after walking ..I am only left with 300 - 400 calories a day....and that doesn't take into account of house work time ....d'oh....need to eat more ! ...ironic, spent all my life knowing I need to eat less....since my band....I need to eat more lol

I swear by this app. No more guessing what the calorie/sodium/protein/sugar amounts of foods are. It allows me to stay in my 1,000-1,150 daily calorie zone with such ease. Not too long ago I even plugged in a 'typical' day of food prior to being banded and to my horror, I ate as much as 3,000 calories a day at times. No wonder I was so overweight. Between the band and this app, I'm down 85 lbs. since January 1st.

I love this App! My Dr was the one who suggested it. Love having left over calories

I love that app. I log everything I eat and I'm surprised now that I only consume about 600-650 calories a day but I'm never hungry. Before my band it was at least 2500 a day..

Yes I do a good work out everyday and when I do weights too I can end the day with negative calories. Try as I might I can't seem to get in but maybe 1000 calories on a good day! I use Lose It, it is the same as my fitness pal. Its hard when my workout burns 900+ calories. Well its all good!

I love the app, I just wish I had the discipline to log everything regularly. Inevitably on a Saturday night I'm trying to remember what I had for lunch on Tuesday so I can go back and put it in...

To be honest I am trying not have to count anything or log anything. I've tried that type of stuff for to many years! One of the biggest reason that I don't want to is that I become fixated with food! I think about food (shopping for, recipes, & cooking) all the time!

I have seen people on this forum who don't count and have succeed. Three square a day maybe a small snack. If I have to I will, I'm registered, signed on way before I had WLS!

My problem used to be Portion Control, so with this app and band learning hopefully.....

[danyc 10]

I'm not using it only for calories, but also to kind of help me make sure I am making the good food choices and getting the Protein, Vitamins, ect that I need. I was only banded on August 9,2013 so I am still learning what is good and not good for me to eat, and what foods will benefit me the most. I obviously made bad food choices before and I'm working hard to succeed and break those habits.

I love, love, love my fitness pal! It truly is an eye opener! Last July I helped my granddaughter bake choc chip Cookies. I didn't eat them but helping her scrape the bowl I ate about 1 teaspoon of the cookie dough. Well, that was 135 calories I could have put to better use lol.i should have looked it up on my fitness pal before I ate it. It is a great awareness tool!
