Lose It! or My Fitness Pal ?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone use either of these programs? I've been using LoseIt! for quite some time, but I have no "buddies" on there because most people use other programs. I really don't want to start over with a new program, because I've got a lot of time invested in inputting my own recipies, foods, etc into LoseIt, but if there are more people using MyFitnessPal maybe I should think of switching.. ? I think that after I have my sleeve done in June that all the support I can get will be lots of help.

Thoughts?

I use MFP, I also have it tied in with my fitbit! Haven't used any others so I can't tell you if it's better or not.

I am a huge fan of MFP. I use it on my phone, my tablet, and my work computer. It depends where I'm at and what I'm doing. You can control your settings and it tracks everything for you. I have even printed my pages a time or two. :)

However, to be fair, I don't know anything about LoseIt!

MFP seems to have more food already entered into its database, with Lose it, I was constantly having to enter my own custom foods.

I originally used Lose it before I was considering WLS, then switched to MFP during the pre op diet, switched briefly back to Lose it post op, w I'm back on MFP.. I consider MFP to be a better fit for me. MFP also has a Windows Phone app, Lose it does not, so that was also a deciding factor for me.

I am on MFP - I've actually never heard of Lose It - I'll have to check it out! There's also a site that you can sign up to do challenges for money - I forget what that one is called though.

I prefer lose it. I tried the other, but it just wasn't the same to me. So I just stick with lose it.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
