My Fitness Pal- Anyone use this?

I signed up on Myfitnesspal 2 weeks ago and so far I’ve lost 5lbs.
Does anyone use this to keep a track on exercise and diet? How’s it working for you

If you don’t know how it works, it’s basically a place where you can keep a track on your diet by entering exactly what you’ve eaten throughout the day. They have a search engine with all kinds of food, including roti!! So it adds your calories automatically. You also add your exercise and it subtracts the amount lost during exercise from the overall calories consumed.
Depending on your height, weight, gender and goals it tells you exactly how many calories you can consume per day and how much you would lose a week.

I’ve set up a goal to lose 15lbs, so I have 10 more to go. I hope I don’t plateau, the last 10 are the hardest.. :bummer:

I had used it and lost a lot of weight..loved it!

Re: My Fitness Pal- Anyone use this?

Did you eat all your calories? I'm not eating all my calories, I always have about 200-300 left every day.. Idk somehow I think if I eat them I wont lose.

Re: My Fitness Pal- Anyone use this?

I think i did join ages ago but didn’t use it :smack:

I will give it a go again and this time actually use it :bummer:

Re: My Fitness Pal- Anyone use this?

i used it for over a year.. it's awesome and actually helped me a lot during my weight loss journey!

Re: My Fitness Pal- Anyone use this?

I joined 20 days ago...and totally love it!

I have lost about 6-7 pounds...I have a lot to lose, so I am sure thats one reason the weight's coming off quicker.

I have the same question as the OP...did you guys eat your exercise calories?

also, did you eat whatever you wanted within the calorie limit or only healthy stuff?

I do find myself eating a bite of cheesecake or a packet of baked crisp once in a while...I know I can do without it...but losing weight would be much harder that way....

Yes I was addicted to this until I became pregnant :)

And I will be going back to it after the pregnancy as well.

It really helped me keep track of what I was eating and how I could substitute good things for the crap that I wanted to eat

oh and yeah i found on weekdays i wasnt consuming as much calories as i was on weekends... which would work out :D

Re: My Fitness Pal- Anyone use this?

great site.

I started using it recently and its surprisingly it's really good. I use to use SELF.com but this site is much more integrated and user friendly and the success stories on it are just nothing short of pure inspiration.

I made a goal to be on it for 6 months. Lets see what happens.

Yes, you will lose weight despite. I have joined the site too. Its good. BTW what do you eat that you have a few calories left over?
