Well, I know I do. And my husband has. I’m so jealous. But I know it’s my fault for not being motivated with him.
Heath started following the Lose It Application on the iPhone in March 2009. Yesterday he weighed in at 159.7 pounds, for a total weight loss of 42.3 pounds.
I am SO proud of him. But he swears he couldn’t have done it without the Lose It app. It really is an excellent application that you download on your iPhone. It’s basically a food journal, but what is nice about it is you fill in information about yourself and then set goals. It will then tell you how many calories you can have a day. You can search the database for food, both from the supermarket and restaurants. You can also enter in workouts and it will automatically deduct the calories you burned from your daily allowance or you can bank the calories.
Here’s a screenshot of Heath’s actual Lose It application.
Oops. Sunday must have been a splurge day! 🙂
Food Journal.
His Goal Page!
Here is a before and after picture of Heath. Both are taken at the Zoo, within about a year. He looks like 2 different people!
Pretty much everything I read emphasizes the importance of having a food journal. Weight Watchers does it. A lot of people I know follow SparkPeople, including my friend Stephanie. You can read about her amazing weight loss journey also. She’s almost at a 100 pound weight loss.
In addition to Heath following the Lose It app, he has also been working out. We bought an elliptical and he likes to take our dog for LONG walks. He has also been doing weights.
I’m going to go ahead and put it out there that I know I have a lot of weight to lose. I really wish I had been doing this with Heath the whole time because who knows where I would be now? There’s always an excuse. I get sick and get off track. I need to clear Hayden’s plate. It’s the time of the month and I get off track. Um, that pizza is just too damn good.
But I have decided to get back on track. I already have Lose It downloaded on my phone. I actually have lost 5.8 pounds since the beginning of the year (it was 10 pounds, but yeah I gained).
Maybe actually writing it down and putting it out there for all of you to read will help motivate me! You all can keep me accountable! 🙂 Also, if you download Lose It, let me know! We can be friends!
If only I had an iphone! But I'm on that journey too…so maybe we can help keep each other accountable!
Wow! He looks fantastic!
Is there anything the iPhone can't do?
He looks amazing! That iphone is definitely amazing..way to go to your hubby.
Writing in a journal totally helps keep you accountable…
Oh I have Lose It! Love that app although I am terrible at keeping track sometimes. I should start up again. Good motivation! You can do it!
WOW, Congrats to him. He looks amazing. Kind of has motivated me.
thank you for sharing. And I know you can do it too. Use your husband as your motivation. 🙂
That's awesome! He looks really healthy!! I'm going to look into that app! My husband and I would benefit from keeping track like that!
Thanks for sharing- and congrats to your hubby!
Hmmm…good to know! I bet it will work on my iTouch too!
Your hubby looks great!!! You can do it!
