In your siggy you have a "badge" for myfitnesspal.  Since you lost so much weight and look frigging amazing, I decided to put the app on my phone.  It's been 8 weeks since I had Li'l Miss PJ, I might as well start getting back in a less round shape...

Ho. Lee. CRAP!!  Talk about holding you accountable for every morsel you put in your mouth!!  3 days in and I'm forcing myself to work out to get the extra calorie count so I can eat a pudding cup.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for having that badge on your siggy

Sorry to butt it- but I also have that app. The other day I put in what I was thinking about ordering from Taco Bell, and HOLY CRAP!!  It was depressing! lol.

I know right?!  I really wanted a breakfast burrito from Sonic this morning but when I saw how many of my precious calories it used I was like, "Oh hell no.  That's an extra 2 miles of walking!" As depressing as it is, it's been pretty enlightening as to how much crap I've been shoving down my throat while complaining that I haven't lost anymore weight.

Its so cool how it breaks it down. Thats my favorite app. Good luck! My LO is 2, and although I am back to my pp weight, its just not right.  I may have been a smidge over weight to begin with anyways..lol.  This app should def help!

I thought about using it but I use loseit and I can't make the change.....I wish I would have found myfitnesspal first because more people seem to use that.

I might need to check out that app myself.

Butting in too!

I started using it after seeing it on her siggy and a lot of ladies on my BMB using it and its awesome.  I've tried tracking my food before but it never worked.  Now I'm religious about it.  A motivation for me is when you submit your food diary for the day and seeing what you could weigh in 5 weeks if every day was like that day.  I really like it when its lower than what my goal weight would be by then. 

I love when it tells me I'm 22 calories below my limit.  I know 22 calories mean nothing, but I still feel like, "I am woman hear me roar!!"

You got this girl!   Good luck with your weight loss... I am doing weight watchers, but after the second week I stopped tracking my points.

I've LOVED this app for awhile now. Did you ladies realize it has the scan feature now? You literally just snap a pic of the barcode - it works on practically everything and it's so fast!! Happy counting!!

What!! You blew my mind. My thumbs thank you lol.

OMG I'm so glad you are using it! All of you! lol. I know, it really does hold you accountable. It has been my #1 best friend as far as apps go for the past year. love love love. 

You also have to remember, that just because you have 'calorie room' doesn't mean it's okay to spend those calories on crap. 200 calories of a pudding cup, is way different than 200 calories of a salad w turkey pieces in it. I know, I sound like a total nazi biotch right now and I'm totally not trying to, but it's stuff I had to really learn the hard way.

Enjoy and good luck on your journey!
