Hi everyone, ive just joined today, an... - Weight Loss Support
Hi everyone, ive just joined today, and wondered if their was anywhere on here where you can track your weight-loss, please ? :)
Not specifically on here there isn't but I've been using myfitnesspal mobile app and website to count my calories and log my weigh ins. It's a fantastic application/website.
You also come on this forum and post your weight loss progress if you want. Everyone on here is so supportive.
I was also going to suggest MyFitnessPal which is brilliant - and free! If you have a smartphone it even has a barcode reading facility on it. In the Help section there are a few little videos which show you how to use MFP. When I was losing weight it was indispensable.
There is an English app supported by the nhs called My Meal Mate it is very simple has no interactivity but that means there is no psychobabble or dubious science. My fitness pal is American and is ok if you avoid the forums but it has an emphasis on fitness so there is a lot of talk about protein, lots of fad diets and it is easy to get confused or disheartened. My fat secret is also US based but is slightly better. Both sites are not moderated so there is a lot of rubbish talked on them. This is fine if you are able to ignore it or not read it, I choose MMM because I always get drawn in and then get put off or disheartened.
Hi ive down loaded my fitness pal app its great for looking for calories in foods plus you input your daily foodstuffs its adds it all up tells you what you have left etc! I am very over weight and have much to lose
Im hoping to lose 3lbs a week for the first few months once I start exercising
