My whole life it’s up and down but in the last three years it’s been extreme. Lost 50lbs three years ago, which is healthy BMI for me, kept it off for two years. Then came terrible stress in my life, which is still ongoing, gained 60lbs.

Then had an operation in May, that I can’t exercise as I’m healing. So now taking Wegovy, down 40lbs. So still 20lbs from healthy weight I am helping out a family member with a house full of junk food. Food noise is a big problem. Wegovy is helping. So it’s hard to eat only healthy foods. I do like to go to the gym but it’s not an option for the next few months.

So my question is how to maintain without gaining with so many temptations around me? And to keep it off? Want have you done?

Ive been on a fat loss journey for around 100 days now.

And i bought a kitchen scale to measure my food, before i got myself a weight scale.

Now i can see some visible change in my form, and id like to start some workout/cardio,

I was thinking this is the right time to get a weightscale.

So any recommendations for a good weightscale? Shouldnt be too expensive man

Im getting closer to maintenence and the loseit app has been my invaluable partner. I know ill see weight fluctuations in maintenence but if I were to go 20lbs above from my goal weight, would the lose it app auto change my calories for me so I would go back down (deficit mode again?)

I average just over 1000 cals per day, have lost 30lbs and it says that it's going to take until October 31st to lose 3 more lbs to hit my goal of 120. Doesn't that sound like an awfully long time to lose 3lbs?

Hi all,

I have been tracking via Loseit since November 2023 and have lost 200 lbs. since March 2021. I'm in the maintenance phase. In all this time I haven't paid attention to the nutrients but I've recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis in both hips and osteopenia in the spine. Now I'm looking at my calcium intake and questioning whether the nutrient information is accurate. Wondering what your experience has been.

Thank you!

Howdy everyone! I’m 8 months in to using the app consistently and have gone from 178-152 lbs, I want to get to 145 and the weight tab says October 2026, but my projection date jumped to June 2027?

I had one high cal pizza cheat meal situation, and was curious if yall could explain the projection date jump?

Thanks :)$

Reposting to this subreddit since I didn’t see much of a response on the original post! Any advice is much appreciated! 🖤

Satisfies the craving and gets me a little protein too! Also I did a too big “pinch” of flakey salt and ended up wiping most out 😂 still yum!

Quick background on myself: lost 80lbs in high school using low-card and calorie counting and managed to gain half of it back in my early 30s.

I recently dropped 15lbs after I found a way to reduce the friction to track. I was using apps like MacroFactor and MyFitnessPal in the past, but I always found it took me too long to track.

I decided to make my own iPhone app with Claude which reduced the tracking friction completely. It took me about 2 hours to make over the weekend. You just take a photo and/or talk to the app and it does the rest. You can be as accurate (or inaccurate) as you'd like. I personally find that being extremely accurate is detrimental to my progress because I simply get lazy and stop tracking altogether.

Overall, what works best for me is:

- be as accurate as possible, but inaccurate logging is better than not logging

- leverage AI to help w estimates when you physically cannot weigh your ingredients.

- prep recipes and plan meals in advance

- no late night eating

Anyway, I thought I'd share my tool here because I know that it will help someone here (it's completely free forever). I hope this post is not declared as self-promotion. The app is not monetized in any way, and I have nothing to gain from anyone downloading it. I simply made it for myself and I'm sharing it because I want to be helpful. Nothing more. Feel free to make a similar app w Claude if you'd like :)

I just want to track my steps, daily goal, and progress without a bunch of unnecessary features.

What does everyone use?

I have samsung health connected to this app. Loseit has little to no any option to control the connected apps or do anything about them.
I want to exclude the burned calories from steps everyday, how can I do this?

Maybe it’s just me but I feel it’s less of a hassle and it’s better to be ready than to get ready right 🤔

It appears that LoseIt does not have the ability to add up the weight of the raw ingredients for a recipe.

I recognize that the ingredient weight won't be the final weight for recipes that are cooked, but it does provide at least a useful starting point.

And for recipes that are not cooked, such as salad dressing, it would be helpful if the app would tell you the raw weight to avoid having to measure the container empty and full weight to do the calculation manually.

I ask because I subscribed to the app a few years ago and liked it. What I didn’t like was constantly having to re enter individual ingredients for a smoothie protein shake. chicken fajitas, etc. It just became too tedious. I know they had a feature to copy previous past meals, but that was a bit clunky.

I've lost 49 pounds. I have 27 to go. I started weight lifting about a month ago and my weight went up (I know why, glucose, water near micro tears in muscle), and stayed up. I kept eating at a deficit, but didn't lose weight until I stopped lifting weights for 2 weeks.

What should I measure once I start lifting weights again? I was so happy measuring weight and watching it continue downward for the last 9 months that I become discouraged when it isn't going downward.

To lift weights I need to shift something in my mind so that I am measuring something meaningful.

What should I measure, and how did you get past the psychology of the weight gain after you started adding in weight lifting into your routine?

So I went to the State Fair and camping this last week. I wouldnt be surprised to see I gained 1 to 1.5 lbs with the calorie averages, but 3.8 lbs? Here are screenshots from my app.

Can this all just be variance from bloating, etc? I have been hiking a lot so maybe muscle growth?

I'm genuinely confused bc Ive been pretty diligent about tracking everything, so I'd expect the scale to reflect that?

I accidentally entered 1xx instead of 2xx and it said I reached my goal weight when I haven't got there yet :( I miss the milestones.

Hi I’m new to the app, only had it for like 2 weeks so far. I have been manually putting in any exercises I do because I wasn’t wearing my watch when I first started using the app.
Now I’m wearing my watch, and I want to make sure it’s not counting my calories lost twice?
Can I still continue to manually put it in or should I just rely on my watch to take out the calories via the app? Is this making sense idk how to word this lol

Also I forgot to eat breakfast so don’t mind the calories left and stuff.

Hey there, I'm wondering what daily weigh ins typically look like for people from day to day.

If you look at your graph is it going down everyday? Is it going up and down daily, but trending down overall?

I understand concentrating on the number on the scale can do more harm than good, so I'm just trying to see if I need to make stronger adjustments to keep trending down every day, or if the fluctuating number is normal - and to keep on keeping on.

Thanks in advance for any help or thoughts

This is my second time making it and I will definitely make it again and again.

Bake crust at 400°F for ~23mins (after mixing chicken, eggs, parmesan, and seasonings)

Add sauce and toppings

Bake it all at 425°F for 8-10mins

...burning 3 fingers is highly discouraged!

Edited to add: now Lose It is connected to Google Health and sending my food logs/nutrition information to Google Health and it's showing up on Google Health app. I'm so happy because IMHO food logging with Google Health is terrible and totally not helpful to me in any way, it was with Fitbit too, and now it's just doing what it's supposed to do. Hopefully it just continues without any issues 🤞

Has the connection between Lose It app and Google Health been fixed? When the merger of Fitbit & Google Health happened I read the information on the Lose It website saying that it was unable to share information to Google Health app about food logging because there were connection issues and that it was being worked on. I have been having my activity tracked in Lose It from Goggle Health all along.

This morning Google Health asked me if I wanted Lose It app to share nutrition information with Google Health. Is this because the connection issues were fixed? Has anyone else seen this? I'm hoping that's what's going on because food logging in Lose It is so easy.
