By now, you may have seen the daily reports on my excercise and calorie intake. I use a really cool application called Lose It! to help track what I eat and how much I exercise. Lose It! was presented to me as an IPhone/IPod application but can also accessed on line at their website: www.loseit.com . With Lose It!, I can:
1. Set my weight goal and when I want to obtain that goal. Lose It! automatically calculates my calorie intake that will help me obtain the goal in that time period. For example, I want to lose 1/2 lb. per week(Slow is the best way!) and my goal weight is 165 lbs. My daily calorie budget is 2,241 calories.
2. Now that I have my goal, each day I can enter the foods I eat, add the excercise I complete, and enter my weight and Lose It! keeps track for me. Lose It! already has restaruant menus, supermarket foods, and the ability for you to store your favorites.
3. Send reports to places like my Blog and other folks! I send a weekly report of my activity to my health coach so she can see what I am eating and how much I am excercising.
Lose It! is a great tool in staying on track and did I forget to mention its FREE? Talk to you soon!
