Leave a Review Lose It!
Effective
LoseIt has been my go-to tracking tool over the last five years. It has proven versatile—whether I was merely counting calories, tracking my macros, or anything in between, LoseIt has worked for me. The ability to sync automatically with Fitbit, the LoseIt Healthometer scale, and more is super-convenient. I’ve lost a lot of weight with LoseIt. And I was able to track the changes of my measurements when trying to trade fat for muscle. LoseIt is a one-stop shop for all these things.
On the flip-side, I’ve gained weight during pregnancy while on LoseIt. That’s obviously good, but since this app isn’t geared for healthy weight gain, an entire pregnancy is sort of discouraging to track in the app because there’s nothing like a pregnancy mode. It just looks like failure. That is my one and only criticism of this wonderful app. If there could be a pregnancy mode into which we could enter our doctors’ recommended pregnancy weight gain for each trimester and try to stay within that range, then resume our previous goals afterwards, that would be fantastic! I do appreciate that nursing is included among exercise options since it’s valuable to track the calories spent when we give them to our babies.Show lessPkced
So helpful & easy
After my second child my weight just stayed. I was told by my OB that at my sons one year birthday the weight that you have then tends to become your new average. My son was six months old and my weight was not budging, I knew I had to do something but didn’t know how or have the energy to do something complicated.
I found out about loose it through reading a blog about calorie deficiency. I knew this seemed like the most logical & healthy way to loose weight and start a better lifestyle but the idea of tracking everything was off putting and seemed to hard. This app (I’m using the free version) is amazing! I’m down approx 3lbs in a week and a half and I’m not hungry. I’m not eating in a way that is not sustainable and the tracker makes it so easy to log and to see what is cased my day to be a success or a failure. I might also add that I started the week of vacation over 4th of July & I still saw success even with going over a few days. Because the tracker makes you aware of what you’re eating even when you “cheat” you’re aware of when and by how much.
If you’re thinking about trying to loose weight & are not sure how to start I would highly recommend trying this app. It holds your hand, steps you through & links you to community for support.
Good luck to anyone starting- here’s to a healthy, happy lifestyle & leaving Fad diets in the dirt!Show lesshappyhealthymamaof2
Great!!!
I’ve been using Lose It! for about 3 weeks now and have already lost about 6 pounds. The idea of just having to scan a barcode is super easy and it’s hard to forget to log your meal because you always gotta eat! Plus, being a student on the go all of the time and having sports makes it difficult to actually use workout apps but this app is so simple and easy to use. And, if you’re in a hurry and couldn’t log a meal the day before you can always go back and edit your past days if you left something out and it will still process the info. One thing to be careful of however is not eating. There was one time where I knew I was going out and knew I was going to be over my calories and was tempted to skip breakfast but skipping meals is not a good thing to do!!! It’s okay to be over your calorie budget a little, never feel inclined to always meet the goal. Having this app made me realize what I was putting into my body(I have the free version but it still displays macros which is super helpful.) This app combined with the app ActivityTracker is the perfect duo! Enter in the distance you walked at the end of the day from ActivityTracker on Lose It! and you’ll get calories added onto your calorie budget! I DEFINITELY recommend this app as I recommend it to all of my friends and anyone I know who is looking to lose weight and I hope you become as satisfied with Lose It! as I am! :)Show lessJei G
Lose-It!
Love the format.. Simple to record your daily food intake (really large library of generic and brand name foods, but also very quick system to "create" your own selections which remain in the"My Foods" category for easy retrieval). No nonsense system only requires entering the number of calories per serving which makes using the log a snap! (You CAN enter nutritional detail if you want to.)
Can record weight every day but if you skip a day or two, site doesn't bombard your inbox with reminders which can certainly be a nuisance. When really focusing on weight loss, there are allied support groups to join, but I like personally watching the calculations and the graphs representing my steady progress.. Yes I AM steadily losing weight and have confidence that I will reach and maintain my goal BECAUSE I have this personally wrought program in my phone and checking in with it really structures what had been just an "I wish" into an "I can" and an "I am". I think I may always stay tuned in to it. Really! I feel successful and peaceful and have gained a “mindfulness” (really!) about my food intake and balance with regular exercise that really has made me at one with my system. Thanks!Show lessLaurenFPeanutbutter
Truly life changing.
Don’t scroll past. You’ll want to read this.
I’m 19 years old, I’m living in my college dorm with the typical dining-center diet/lifestyle and this app completely dodged the “freshman 15” for me. I’ve been using this app for about four years now and if I had known how much it could do for me I would’ve used it to it’s full potential so much sooner. When I first started using this app it was difficult to get used to and it seemed like I was going over my limit everyday, but eventually I pushed myself to follow a routine and eventually a healthy lifestyle just became second nature. My weight loss journey started my junior year of high school - I clocked in at just under 270 pounds and in less than a year I lost over 110 pounds! I could not have made such a change to my body and to my health without this app and I’m grateful everyday for the life it has given me. I currently weigh about 154 pounds, I feel amazing, and this app really shows you how to live the best life you can. For those of you struggling, just know I used to think the version of myself I am today was impossible until I finally decided to take ownership and become who I’ve always wanted to be. You *CAN* do it!Show lessDavidster237
Bang for your buck
I don’t normally write reviews ever. However this app is LIFE CHANGING. If you want to get serious look no further. After purchasing premium for two years I decided to take the leap and buy the lifetime membership. Here’s why: community- you make amazing friends who are all going at it with you and inspire to keep you on track. Recipes and guides for workouts at your fingertips to keep things interesting. Challenges to keep you competitive and motivated to continue habits. An easy to use interface (I prefer it over myfitnesspal) it’s highly customizable and gives me many goals to target. There is literally nothing they haven’t thought of to keep you on track. The only time I lose weight is when I stick to it and log my food. There is so many amazing features it really makes the app a step above the rest. I’ve been using it (off and on admittedly I’m not perfect on my journey to health) for 3 years now and every time I focus on the app and remaining active I lose so much more comparatively. They give you all the tools you need and wrap it up in a neat package and you step up with your motivation and time and it will truly pay off.Show lessMaryahshizzayne
Best app ever!
My weight was stuck and I actually gained. I finally decided to really do something about my weight and couldn’t find out why I couldn’t lose any weight when I didn’t eat all that bad. This app helped me figure out where my problem areas were and that was sugar and sugary drinks. I’ve now changed up my diet a bit, watched my portions w this app yet this app STILL allows me to eat what I love and enjoy my sugar on certain days/times and STILL lose the weight. So far, I’ve only been on it 17 days and have lost almost 4 pounds. It helps me more plan my meals and workouts in order to get the best results so that in itself motivates me! Also want to add that when the app sends badges on the screen when I lost weight or logged another day - that motivates me to keep going! Its like I’m competing against someone and being congratulated for my weight loss, but really I’m only competing against myself and I LOVE that! I am also using the free app right now! I’ll be back to update when I get to my goal in July! I am so happy it’s working I can’t believe it. This app saved me!!! Don’t need no weight watchers or crummy fad diets. I’m still eating what I love yet being mindful and careful. And cutting back on the sugar. Thanks loseit!!!Show lessCcccn
Quick, easy accountability
Have no idea how much you’re eating during the day, or why—in spite of regular exercise—you’re not losing weight? Lose It! is a quick and easy-to-use app that simplifies calorie tracking and gives you an accurate picture of where all those empty calories are hiding in your diet. The key to success is your honesty—if you eat a few Hershey kisses, log it. If you sample a few shreds of cheese while you’re cooking, log it. If you order a venti mocha with half n half, log it accurately (by the way, that is probably all your calories for the day and you get to eat celery for dinner). For me, it’s eye-opening to know how many extra calories there are in sweeteners like honey, brown sugar, jam, ketchup, bbq sauce that do nothing to fill me up and leave me hungrier sooner. But it’s worth it to use high-protein, high fat condiments like peanut butter and real butter on your whole wheat toast or sweet potato because they leave you fuller longer. All that said, this tool will be as helpful for kicking off a healthy lifestyle as you are honest with your tracking. So be honest—don’t freak out when you go over by 50 calories on a low exercise day. Make it up tomorrow. And happy losing!!Show lessSugarExorciser
Great for weight loss but lately has been buggy
First off I wanna say I love this app it has really helped me lose weight by tracking and being aware of what I eat and how active I am!
That being said lately it’s been kind of buggy. Not sure how to explain what happens but will try and hope it makes sense, but when I click on something say to enter my food it will pop up and then go away before I have the chance to write anything so I’ll have to click the plus sign again. Also, I used to be able to keep adding my food to my meal and then when I was finished hit done on the top right side. But as of today, 1/16,19, I’ll add a food and then the search menu will close. So now I have to open it again to add the next thing and it closes and I have to keep doing that Over and over until I’m done and it’s really inconvenient. I really believe it’s just a bug that should be looked into, I use this all day long so please please look into it. Not sure if anyone else has complained about this so just wanted to make you guys aware.
Besides that I love how easy this app makes it to track my food. I was this close👌🏼 to downloading and paying for weightwatchers right when I found this and I’m so glad i did. So thanks to the people who made this app possible and made my life and weight loss journey that much easier! But please fix the bugs 😅😅😅Show lessShellycris
Attention all diabetics 2
Best possible way to log, to pay attention, and to show graphs of your successive approximation to lowering your A1c. You are capable of logging everything that goes in your mouth henceforth you are given calories and carbs, what could be better or easier for us. Some of us are even sedentary this gives us the capability to see Day by day as we journal our activity, maybe not at the Fitbit or the gym, our every day lives. I have sustained accountability and credibility with ourselves for everything absolutely everything that goes into this mouth. Socially you can have very very close friends that you talk to daily just as one does on Facebook but it’s all relevancy to keeping healthy yes healthy. Losing weight is just a secondary benefit which is obviously for many of us important however if we cut out the carbs alone the weight will fall off and we will lose it yes Loseit. A wonderful wonderful program, unfortunately I see it putting many nutritionist out of business.. Love love Loseit and all it has to offer especially in the premium package, try it speaks for itself for us diabetics who need to control our quantity and our quality of our foods. We will become healthier yes healthier what could be better.🙏Show lessSedentary senior
