Electronic weight loss program recommendations?



Recommended Posts

I'm loving My Fitness Pal because it's low tech enough for me to understand and use it daily. I also like that once I got my food preferences loaded and hit Remember Meal, etc, I rarely have to input new foods or custom foods. So it's very quick and convenient to load a day of food and know that I'm fairly close to hitting macro goals. It sinks to other activity programs but I have an old iPhone so don't ask it to do that which is over my head anyway.

I have only used MyFitnessPal for both food logging and and weight tracking. Very interested to hear what other apps are available though.

Baristatic app ! It is awesome. That is what I use to track food, Water, Protein. And you can set reminders for water, Vitamins etc.

I use My Fitness Pal to track my weight loss, exercise, Water intake, and to keep a food diary. I like that you can look at your days nutrition info to keep track of carbs, Protein, fat, etc. Its free to use with an option to upgrade to a premium service, but I find the free version to have everything I need.

I second Baritastic. You can track Vitamins, and it also syncs with my FitBit. You can also track weight and measurements if you want.

I personally do Weight Watchers, so I use their app. But I also often track on Sparkpeople, which I have been using and loving since 2004. I love that it has so many micronutrient options, because I love to track those (super important for us!).

Myfitnesspal. I'm old school. It tracks food. Graph shows your progress. Helps meet and see if you hit your calorie and macronutrient goals (protien etc) Tracks your exercise including syncing fitbit, map my run or map my walk...I'm sure their are more, It will graph for the week or month of meeting your calories and macros.

You can leave your food log open for others to see, Or keep it private ( I keep mine open.)

At the end of the day you submit and it tells you if everyday was like today you would weigh (calculates what you would weigh based on your food and exercise) gives me motivation to stay on track.

It also has a forum for many categories bariatrics, vegan, Keto, fitness weightlifting etc. you can friend and message.....They are amazing people that are motivated inspiring, and positive.

I also love Bariastic App. If you have trouble with chewing, there is a timer for 20 seconds. It covers it all!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
