Losing weight is a lonely business. The trick is simple, control calories and exercise enough to stay at a weight or lose weight…which ever you are looking to do. Simple, I need to net at 1550 calories per day, if I want to pig out on Sunday night, I need to get my butt on the bike after church. The problem is how do I do this math: lets see a banana in, a 2 mile walk, two hamburgers, one dish of ice cream…am I gaining or losing? Myfitnesspal does it all. Enter food as you eat, enter exercise as you do it, and it lets you know where you stand, every minute of the day. As I sit here writing this, I have net 802 calories to go for the day. I have enough for dinner and a snack. I’m happy and 10 lbs lighter than I was when I down loaded the application 5 weeks ago. Just as importantly, the program has a hugh data base making it easy to use. Look up Dr. Oz 2 Week weight lose smoothie, there it is. What to eat a pack of cookies, scan the pricing code and it tells ouu the calories. Final point, just tracking and being aware how many calories are in this and that makes you more aware of what you need to eat or to avoid. That nacho you want for lunch, not such a good idea. Hey, you still need to cut down on what you eat, make different choices. It’s not easy to give up the dish of ice cream every night, but at least you need that you need to give it up. he rest is up to you.
