Loseit.com

Sorry about another post that is not related to books or movies, but I love this app and website.  Loseit.com!

I first heard about it years ago from my brother Brandon.  I "tried" it and failed.  Then Marcy started using it to help Holden lose weight.  It took about a year, and he lost 30 pounds!  He is my inspiration to keep diligent with the LoseIt app.

I especially like the Challenges they have on there now.  It's what inspired me to do a Facebook challenge.  LoseIt challenged me to log food and exercise every day in the month of February.  So I extended that challenge to Facebook and am trying to get everybody to log exercise for the month of February.  I know not many people are participating, but it really motivates me to exercise when I have to report it on Facebook and LoseIt.  And I love seeing that others are doing it with me such as my Mom and Raylene.  And I know that Dres is doing it too.

There is another challenge on LoseIt to eat fruits and veggies at every meal.  I might try doing that for March... It's a bit daunting to me, but that's why it's called a challenge!

Anyway, that's a great app and you can log food and exercise and take on fitness/health challenges!  And it's very user friendly and I truly enjoy it.

*Just as a side note, when I am doing LoseIt I know that my calories are not exact.  I try to eat within my food calories and I ignore the fact that my exercising allows me to eat more calories.  For example, today my budget was 1,207calories and after exercising it said I could eat 272calories more.  I try to ignore that and just stick to my food calories since I'm also not 100% sure how many calories I am really burning when I exercise, nor do I really know 100% how many calories I ate.  But it's still a great tool!

Wow, I am a rambler today...
