Losing Weight with the iPhone: Lose It!

For folks feeling guilty about how they have let themselves go, Lose it! is the newest iPhone app that keeps us honest on what and how much we consume.  This application is simply a way to count calories.  The good news is that it is amazingly easy-to-use.

When the application is first launched on your phone, it asks you some basic info like your weight, goal weight loss and gender.  Once you enter that information, you can get started by entering the food you are consuming.  We were so happy to see that Lose It! did such a great job in pre-populating the app with thousands of common foods, drinks and brands.  That means you don’t have to guess the calories.  They already have them in the app!

Another cool feature is that based on your information and goals, it tells you how many weeks it will take to achieve your target weight on a handy line graph.  We’ve been testing this sucker for a week and have had no problems.  We’ve even enlisted our friends to try it also.  This product is now officially placed it in the “Yeah, you should probably download this app” category.
