In my efforts to get back on track to stop gaining and start losing again, I wanted to try
My Fitness Pal. So my question is... do you like it?  Is it helping you?
Just curious when you set up your 'goals' what did you use for categories? 

Net calories consumed?
Carbs?
Protein?
Fat?

 Also what amounts did you use?  Thanks, Lisa

LOVE IT!   I found it to be the most user friendly and YES, it helped tremendously - I think journaling everything you eat/do makes us a bit more accountable.   I track Protein , Calories, Carbs, Sugar (in that order).  I liked it most because I was using an iTouch and I didn't have to be on line to update what I was doing, it'd automatically sync changes when I got on line.

I did this until just the other day when I invested in a FitBit and use the site so I track everything in one place!!!  Only been a few days but loving it... worth the $!!!

I like using my Fitbit, I really need to get back to journaling my food though.

I use the fitbit food tracker... not as great as myfitness pal but it still helps.
Unfortunately I left my FitBit clipped to my bra and put it thru the laundry! LOL!  woops!  It works but I'm going to make use of my warranty and bring it back to BestBuy for a new one - some of the little copper connectors came off.

I've been declared a slow loser - and couldn't be happier!!
 I  can,  I  will.

I LOVE myfitnesspal!! I have the app on my iphone and am always logging in. I was initially using fitday.com but the food library wasn't as extensive as mfp (I had to create my own food profile). I mentioned it to my NUT last week, she hadn't heard of it.
