TX-SC Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I need to lose some weight so I'm getting started on My Fitness Pal. Anyone here use it?
PogoStick Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I've briefly looked at it. I'm too lazy to use it, but I think it's well designed and helpful. Anything in particular you're wanting to know?
TaraMaiden2 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Yes, I used it a lot and lost 2 stone - that's 28lbs. I liked it.
Author TX-SC Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 Was just wondering how people like it andmaybe how it compares to LoseIt.
MightyPen Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I like it a lot! I enter all my meals...the scanning feature is cool. If you make a meal frequently, just enter it as a My Recipe and you can always grab it later when you eat it again. I've lost almost 20lbs since late January and MFP is definitely one of the reasons.
Imported Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I use to use a Fitbit Surge and Aria to track metrics and tried out MFP for a bit because people rate it very well, but I liked Fitbits site better so went with that. However I don't really worry too much about food intake and am not so much trying to lose weight. Just like tracking my runs, swims and lifts. And weigh ins. I just switched to using a Garmin Fenix 3HR with their Index scale so that it could log my swims automatically. And a crap ton of other stuff that will take a good bit of time to learn. I like Garmin's hardware, but their site for showing everything as well as their app and not to mention their software leaves a lot to be desired. Luckily they are supposed to work with MFP so I may be having my Garmin hardware link up to MFP and just use that.
Hopeful714 Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 It's great. I used it for a while and want to again but it gets to be a hassle. However, if you use it for a while, then fall off you still tend to use what you've learned and charted for meal planning. Highly recommend!
