In combination it has really helped to motivate me to do more activity and to control my calorie intake. We use the food diary on MyFitnessPal to track what we eat, use the goal setting part to establish the target calorie intake for a specific weight loss goal. Has been really useful and motivating. I have lost over 45lbs in 4 months. The app also has an extensive database of foods so calorie tracking is easy, you can even bar code scan the packet and it will link to the nutrition information. It also allows you to graph progress, etc. the fitbit app that comes with the Fitbit gives you other tracking measures, steps, distance, active minutes, sleep tracking if you get the models that support it, also the top of the line does heart rate as well. I credit the combination as being a significant factor in the weight I have lost. I am now back to the weight I was in my early 20s. Let me know,if you want any specifics, screen shots, etc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00587283081895557018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-77267371243273392902015-06-11T06:14:50.261-04:002015-06-11T06:14:50.261-04:00Mollie has already put my fitness pal on our phone...Mollie has already put my fitness pal on our phones, I guess we ready to try.PKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050453501744475319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-70998839687084714392015-06-11T06:14:18.159-04:002015-06-11T06:14:18.159-04:00It does, thank you.
