So this week I have started back with my trusty lose It App. My focus is not to lose but to eat healthy and tone up. However, if I do lose my goal would be 6 pounds. As you can see it says that I have not logged in for a month. See I told you guys I was slacking!

This app is a great tool for losing weight! It shows you the calorie count of anything that you want to eat. It even shows you the calories of meals at restaurants and fast food places. It also can calculate how many calories you burned for almost any exercise (and when you add exercising in for your day your calories remaining is more, because you burned off what you ate).

To start off it will ask you a few questions like what is your goal weight, how much do you weigh and how much you exercise in a week. It should generate how many calories you can eat a day after those questions, but if not you can put in how many you want to eat. When I first started using these two summers ago, I started off with 1340 calories, now I’m down to 1200. If I wanted to eat more, then I would exercise more.

After you put in your calories for the day and your exercises, you hit 'Complete This Entry' and it will generate for you your weight in 5 weeks if you ate like that every day. Pretty cool huh?

By the way, the best way in my opinion to lose weight is to go slow. If you know you want to be 50 pounds smaller in 6 months, and then break it up into 25 pounds the first 3 months. Because when you see the result of your first 10 pound lost you will be so happy! Ten pounds is a big difference. I exercised and did this app for 3months the first summer and only lost 17 pounds. My goal was 20. But when I came back to school everybody noticed. I MEAN EVERYBODY NOTICED. So don’t get discouraged. Ten pounds is an accomplishment, and if you continue to do it slowly, your body will get use to it and the pounds will keep coming off!

Be Creative,
