Bumping this thread back up. Have any of you tried the myfitnesspal app for the iPhone or iPod touch?

yorkietalkjilly · 05-04-2011, 02:35 PM

I didn't belong to YT then but set my sights on reaching my goal weight back last October by just eating smaller portions and healthier food and I met my goal weight plus. Weigh 117 and was going for 123. I think I reached that sometime in early January and have maintained easily since. I watched that movie "Supersize Me" and it really inspired me to start eating healthy foods and few snacks.

I have that app on my phone and I LOVE it. Don't use it much, but the concept is great. If I could only make it a habit to log everything, I'm sure it would be a little more beneficial.

Oops! Bad timing huh?

So far, I'm enjoying the app. I'm putting in recipes I make or my mom makes to get an idea of what I'm taking in at each meal. It's a real eyeopener!

That movie made me hungry for McD's. LOL

Ah, I was just about to start another nag thread for the first of the month, but I see it's been bumped for me.

I've lost a lot of weight -- I'm guessing maybe 25 lbs (I just take measurements). I've had some major non-scale victories, and I'm very excited to keep losing!

Skinny Yorkie Mommies has helped me tremendously. Brit, Christinee and I post pretty much every day, and we have a couple other regulars as well. If you're feeling fluffy, I hope to see you there! Just click on the link in my siggy.

capt_noonie · 05-04-2011, 08:36 PM

Good job QS!

I think measurements are better than the scale. The scale is evil and plays mind tricks on you.

My resolution was to quit smoking and lose 10 lbs and I havent done either. I found out recently I have high blood pressures so im gonna get on the ball

deonk1 · 05-05-2011, 12:42 PM

Well I kinda want to join in... I by no means need to lose weight, some people keep trying to tell me I need to gain, but it has been my goal to become more healthy.

My goal is to start doing yoga every other day, I'm at about twice a week now, and my bf has started with me... cause well he kinda does need to lose the university beer belly

before it stays for life

He has also started trying to remove excess sodium from his diet, and junk.

Me on the other hand, I LOVE chocolate, carbs (especially bread and pasta), salt, ice cream and greasy food. I have a feeling if I keep that up I'm destined to need to be on a diet sooner rather than later. So I've made it my mission to regain my high school fitness regime (I used to care for 15 horses and ride 2-3 per day, and weight lift).

So I'm going to go join for health moral support. I just can't see me giving up the sodium and chocolate

Absolutely, please join in! As for giving up sodium and chocolate, who would want to? It's all about moderation.

Just joined

I have troubles with the moderation thing. I don't know if in high school they made you do a health record of what you eat for a week in health class or whatever, well I am rather ashamed that I had to lie to my teacher and say I forgot to record a few meals thats how bad I eat. And well now that I'm in university I "make my own rules" and it's not much better lol.

So definitely looking forward to the support and helping to support others.

Yes, I know I haven't been keeping up with checking in. There is just so much here on YT to keep up with. As for my resolution, that is going pretty well. I joined Weight Watchers, have been walking around a local lake since the weather has gotten better and have been using Wii Fit Plus. I tried Jillian Michaels 2011 but she kicks my butt. So far I'm down 20.8 lbs with another 15 or so to go. According to the weight guides I should weigh 116 but, friends, that ain't

gonna happen.

hehe! It did me, too, at first!!! I was starving watching that guy chow down on all those burgers, fries, pancakes, breakfast sausages but as he began to actually get so sick and look so bad and feel worse, then the puking, it started to get to my tummy! And boy do I have a weak tummy!

Still, there is proof in the pudding - having all the energy and feeling really good is the best! Don't get me wrong, though, I love my Fast Food - Whataburger, pizza, Sonic! I love my homemade fudge! I just eat less of it now plus the metabolism seems to burn fat better the less you weigh. Can that really be true? It sure seems to.

But having normal cholesterol and BP, fitting into your skinniest jeans and feeling good are big incentives to eat better. Still, how bad can a stuffed crust triple Pepperoni pizza be when you are dying for one!?!?! I could eat a couple of pieces and freeze the rest! Pizza is my favorite food in the whole world and has been since I age my first bite of one as a kid. Mmmmmm.
