Best app for charting weight loss journey



Recommended Posts

I had gastric sleeve surgery December 18th. I have lost 50 so far, but none the last two weeks. Have started really charting everything much more closely and using this to see where I may have gone off the path. Doing better now, but have been losing a lot of time charting my meals, weight, Protein, carbs, calories, and exercise in a journal and looking up all the food info on my phone. Does anyone know of an app that makes keeping track of all of the above parameters faster that I can do on my phone? Would love suggestions! Maybe something designed for bariatric patients? Thanks for any info I can get.

Check out Myfitnesspal that's been the best one I have found....

I use my FitBit app to track my weight loss and BMI. It’s super helpful in being able to see trends in my losses and helps me not get frustrated when i hit a stall

Withings scale hooked into the HealthMate app on iPhone - all I have to do is step on the scale each morning and then I can look at weight, BMI and body fat in the app later. I really like the trend line, stops me from hyperfocusing on stalls. HealthMate also tracks steps and I could probably do more with it if I bothered to look.

I use MyFitnessPal for food intake, Water intake, exercise, and weight tracking. I use Baritastic because it's weight tracker helps create milestones for you to reach and tells how how close you are to meeting them with percentages. I'm a visual person and I like that. I also like the journal feature they have because after surgery Constipation is unfortunately a thing and the journal lets me keep track of that... :3

I use the LoseIt app, it's great for tracking weight loss, as well as logging a food journal. I have the premium membership which also allows me to track measurements and a few other extras.

Baritastic app is great, specifically design for who will have or had surgery [emoji3]




I use this app as well and I love it. They made it so much easier to keep track of all the things you need! [emoji1419]

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
