Leave a Review Lose It!
This App is Everything!!!
I have never reviewed an app before and usually hate that they prompt you to review before you’ve even tried it out. This review is unprompted I just wanted to share my great experience with this app. I used it back in 2011 and lost 23 lbs quickly, so needing to lose again I turned to Lose It! and have lost 11lbs in my first 6 weeks back on. The premier membership is So Worth the money I spent. It has helped me take control over my eating and other health goals. It has a great selection of foods for logging your eating and It’s accurate for the most part, but lets you adjust the nutrition facts as needed. App has a lovely interface and is very easy to use, unlike some others I have tried. I also like that you can change the theme to other beautiful backgrounds. I especially love the social feature that allows you to chat with other users and get additional motivation.
I highly recommend this app to anyone looking to lose weight and become more healthy. It has a great recipe section and tracks good & bad trends to help you stay on track. I’ve tried the 5 top rated weight loss apps and this is by far my favorite!!!!Show lessQuetee2012
Could NOT be more pleased
I’ve used Lose It for two years, and am a HUGE fan. When I first started using it, I quickly learned how easy it was to keep track of my food intake. The app gave me a daily target...based on my weight, height, target weight, etc. Entering anything into the daily dairy is crazy easy. I especially like that the database seems to include everything from practically any restaurant. I can type (or dictate), “Logan’s Roadhouse Caesar salad”, and it pops up on the list. You can enter your entire meal in five seconds. After using the app for a couple of months, I was blown away by my weight loss. Keeping track..like this...makes you cognizant of what you are eating...aware. I found that I was easily staying beneath my goal. The weight dropped off..and it was effortless. Just...awareness. The App also allows you to enter Exercise. That caused me to be aware and accountable to myself. I found that I rarely missed my exercise...because I loved getting it done...so I could enter it in the App. To me...this is a breakthrough in healthy eating...weight loss (for those desiring to drop some weight), and am awareness if a healthy lifestyle. I love it.Show lessA234$/:Dan
Best I’ve tried
I’ve always known that, for me, the best way to get my eating in check was to record everything I ate. But my daily charts were cluttered and hard to assess for patterns or pitfalls. This app makes it so easy to do so much more than the basic record. I can see exactly where I am at any moment and can easily change portion sizes to better reflect what I actually ate. I can see what patterns of eating work best for me — who’da thought that drinking a beer now and then tended to reduce how much I eat? A nice graph tells me how many days before I reach my ideal weight if I continue what I’m doing— talk about great motivation! And though I think it’s kind of silly, they even give me virtual badges for my accomplishments. And the food search list is pretty darn complete, but you can just add a random caloric intake in the rare event you can’t find what you were searching for. My favorite feature is how easy it is to revise a recipe or a food item to better reflect what you ended up eating. If a recipe really ends up making three portions instead of four, it’s easy to change that— and all the fat, carb and caloric info automatically adjusts. Cool!Show lessBisnan
Longstanding, Trustworthy, Essential
Truth be told, I have this routine where I log what I eat, I lose a bunch of weight, then I think I don’t need to log it anymore and I put all the weight back on. Sound familiar? The point is that I (like most people) am much more successful when logging and this app makes it caveman easy. It has a surprisingly thorough database populated by many users over many years. And it can be accessed as simply as scanning barcodes on packaging. The displays are intuitive and pleasing; which sounds odd, but you really don’t mind poring over your results. Deep-pressing the app icon makes it easy to access crucial functions. My only bone to pick is with the watch app, which is buggy and lags to the point it’s useless. I really like the functionality of it, though, and hope they will address those issues. Easily a 5-star app with an improvement to the watch. The $30 is a must and is absolutely worth the upgrade. If it were my app, I would give folks a free 7 days of full functionality because it would be difficult to go back to the free version. A front screen app to be sure, you’ll be happily logging meals and losing weight in no time.Show lessAubrey Sterling
Useful for someone terrible at being consistent
In the past I’ve always had trouble being consistent with working out, eating right, etc. Being in NYC especially, going out and drinking we’re constantly curtailed. With the pandemic however, I made it a goal to be more healthy. With the extra time at home, I cook a lot more and have the time to add into the app. It’s fun for me now, and compared to myfitnesspal (I had trouble sticking to it), I find this more simple, UI/UX is super clean and it really gives me insight into what I’m eating and how /when I overreat based on how many calories I’m eating at breakfast/the amount of fats/and more. I’ve told all my friends to get this and I’m surprised by the diversity of the foods listed as well. My only note would be to add a feature where you can see what times you are eating Your meals because I noticed that when I ate the appropriate(according to my analysis) calories at breakfast but had my lunch at a later time I would overeat, so it would be helpful to keep track of time as well. What you don’t track doesn’t get measured and it’s slowly changing my other habits and hopefully to become more productive and work out more. It’s my favorite app!Show lesschaudah
40 lbs down and counting....
Read the title. If you’re checking out the reviews to judge whether this app will or won’t help you lose weight, I’m here to tell you probably like many others it does.
Do not take this out of context though. It is not going to make you lose weight. It will HELP you. It has been one of the greatest tools to make sure I stay within my budget. It also helped me get used to tracking calories, and I believe once you have more insight on this you will automatically stop overeating. You’d be surprised at the caloric count for the $&@! we consume everyday.
Anyways to wrap up my review, I had tried MyFitnessPal a couple years ago and I ended up not sticking with it. While using this app, LoseIt, I started at 245 lbs in January and today I’m sitting at 205 lbs. Needless to say the app is a great tool and I am only a few months time from being a healthy weight again. Give it a shot! And remember it takes 28 days to break a habit, and if you have been eating like crap for a long time, stick with it for 2 months. Log your food everyday, drink half your weight in fl oz, and go and do something to get your body moving while having fun.Show lessjacobkush24
Be careful!
While this app can be very useful, it can also push you to impossible, even dangerous goals. I began using the app with a very high expectations for myself (losing 2 lbs per week to drop 24 pounds). It recommended I ONLY EAT 987 calories per day, which is dangerously low. It also said that in order to keep up a “lightly active” activity level I needed to BURN 1,987 calories per day. That would mean I was operating at a 1,000 calorie deficit every day. The app did offer a warning that my goal “may be too aggressive”;however, that warning was close to the bottom of the page in small print. I worry someone desperate to lose the weight wouldn’t heed that warning and would trust the app without additional research. Please consult a doctor and do your own research before proceeding. With that being said, it was extraordinarily helpful tracking what I was eating each day, calculating macros, and breaking down nutrition facts. Overall, it did help me lose weight, but not because I stuck to its recommended calorie intake and exercise levels. Proceed with caution and listen to what your body is telling you!
(I am not a nutritionist or a doctor, please talk to a professional before considering a new diet and exercise routine for weight changes). Stay healthy AND happy!Show lessAlyssa303!
I just wanna cry! I love this app!
I found out about this app by word of mouth from my massage therapist, and also from a lady at my church so I said man I’ve heard so many good things it must be good so I tried it, at first it was a struggle to keep under my limit but after the first week or so it got easier and easier, in just 4 weeks I lost 15lbs!!! That’s amazing I couldn’t have done it without this app, I absolutely love love love it! I will stick with this app till I get to my goal and even after!!! I also didn’t realize how much stuff is unhealthy until I had this app too, now when I go to Costco I see something that looks good, first thing I do look at the back to see the calorie count and if it’s something like 400+ calories I’m like nope, and I put it back down lol, I’ve also cleaned out my whole kitchen and replaced with all healthy stuff! I just have so much to say about this app I love it! If your considering loosing weight and it’s a struggle to do it yourself which I’ve went that route and didn’t loose a pound but with this app if you stick with it you can do it I have faith you can! So good luck with your weight loss story!Show lessJFK was assassinated
I never thought I’d say this about a calorie tracker but...
This is one of the best apps I’ve ever found. It’s one of the easiest to use calorie tracker apps I’ve ever tried (and the only one I’ve been able to stick to using!). I use the free version, and even though I can’t track my macros or water (you need premium for that), it is so easy to see what I’m really eating compared to what my goals are. For the first few days, i didnt try to limit myself at all, just ate what i would normally eat in the amounts i would normally have and saw just how much i was eating compared to what it said i should be for my goals (i was eating about an extra 400 cals a day) and then slowly lowered my calories per day to what the app suggested for my goals. It even lets you know if it finds patterns in what you’re eating that are helpful to your goals (it pointed out that on days i eat chicken, i eat fewer calories overall). It’s super user friendly, and you can either look up brands of your foods or use the barcode scanner to find them more quickly. Only issue I’ve found is that sometimes it measures portions in different amounts than the box says (like I’ll say I’m eating mac and cheese and it’ll ask me how many grams of food instead of cups or w/e). Overall, highly recommended!Show lessanna10121
Disappointing
I’m really disappointed in this app and I would not recommend at this point in doing anything more than the free version. I liked the ease of that how there were so many different things in their food database that you could log as well as scan anything with the scan bar. It was fun doing that and seeing if I stayed within or how much below my recommended calorie levels were. HOWEVER.... I stay below and most days quite a bit below the calorie allotment I was given. Since I was not losing weight I actually changed it to lose more weight and eat less calories. Not losing anything I fluctuate up to 3 pounds either way and again eating below the new goal.. fun to track your food and calories and macronutrients but that’s about it. They come up with these “positive food patterns” which are really unrelated they will just say if you have coffee every day and then you lose a pound that it’s a positive pattern that when you drink coffee you consume less calories. Sometimes I have lower calories and will have butter with truffle oil popcorn. I will be near or below my calorie count for that day and I always weigh more the next day. but it will come up as a positive pattern that when I have popcorn I consume less calories! If you want to watch your habits for fun do the free version but sadly that is all I can recommend. I regret paying for the annual fee, and will not renew.Show lessKatwomanje
