I have always been a reasonably fit person, even throughout 4 pregnancies, but I am finding I do not have as much time as I used to for working out each day. I still like to do some exercise on a regular basis, but I need something more. I'm used to eating anything I want, and I'm not a very healthy eater! Does calorie counting really work? I have a weight loss goal of losing 10 lbs. and toning up a bit. Last night I started a routine on my Biggest Loser Nintendo Wii game and it seems achievable in 8 weeks or less. Part of the routine does include healthy eating choices and I've downloaded 2 apps on my Droid phone to help me keep track of my calories each day. Not sure which I'll end up sticking with, but wanted to see which platform I'd like better. Both have the availability to go online on a computer or on the application on the phone to track food.
The first application I signed up for is called Calorie Counter - MyFitnessPal. I liked this free application because it is clean and fresh looking. Very easy to see what calories you've eaten so far and what you have left for the day. It lacks the bar code scanner, but I haven't figured out how much I'd be using the scanner yet so I still want to track this one for a few days. Right away this app asks you to setup an account that you can use online. The second application I signed up for is called Calorie Counter by FatSecret. This app has the bar code scanner which I used on my Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal this morning and it was very simple to do. It scanned it in, added it as my breakfast and added the calories from it. If you want to use this app online on your computer, you will have to manually sign-up for it from your phone. Not hard to do, but not automatic like the first app I downloaded.
I will keep you updated on what app works best for my goals and maybe it can help you, too. What do you do to lose weight and stay fit?
