Weight loss and Fitness - Myfitnesspal

I use it & love it. I was worried about gaining weight from being on tamoxifen plus my BMI was just outside of "healthy" range. I am down 25 lbs & 3 pants sizes since June. I definitely feel like I have more energy.

If you want my MFP name, shoot me a PM. 

With MFP there is no math. The app does the math for you.

I just (re)started yesterday.  I use it on my iphone and find it to be the most convenient, easiest and helpful method. Somewhat similiar to the philosophies of Weight Watchers.  If you record what you are eating, you are more aware and tend to do less "mindless casual eating".  ( Yes, I'm a professional dieter

You tend to eat similiar foods over and over, so after awhile most of it is stored in there for you and logging your daily food is a breeze.  Plus I like that it encourages me to exercise too.

I have been using My fitness Pal since last January. I have have lost 43 lbs!! I love it! Although its not easy... I walk on treadmill 5 days a week for about 3 miles a day. I also do yoga and pilates. 

I got My Fitness Pal a year ago and was surprised by how much I learned about my eating habits as I entered what I was consuming that first week. It helped me be far more conscious of exactly what I was eating and how many calories each entry was. Now I check packages, not just for satuated fat amounts which I had been doing for years in an effort to keep it as close to, or under, 10 grams a day, but for each food's suggested portion sizes which tends to be far smaller than I had realized.

I actually counted each square of Kashi's Autumn Wheat cereal one day and discovered that I had been pouring more than twice its recommended amount into my bowl each morning. Now, I put in only the recommended amount which I know by eye and top it off with a ton of fresh fruit and breakfast holds me well until lunchtime.

I don't use MFP all the time, but it certainly is a useful tool. I also got a pedometer after I finished chemo which I started wearing regularly to get an idea how far I was walking each day. It was discouraging. I really wasn't walking nearly as much as I had thought, so I looked for ways to incease the steps I took.

I don't always wear it, but I have a much better idea of when I haven't excersized enough. The only days I got above 7000 steps were the ones when I went to the gym.
