Noom Weight Loss Coach

Ok...another free app for my phone.  I'm excited to try it.  Noom Weight Loss coach sets goals for food and exercising.  It surveys me and customizes a plan.  There is a free app and a PRO app.  I am trying a free 30 day trial of the PRO app.  I started yesterday and it said that I could be to my goal weight by March 1, 2013 if I keep it up with my eating and exercise goals.  Part of yesterday's "homework" was to actually say OUT LOUD what my goal weight is and do it while looking in a mirror, or speaking it to another person.  I am FULLY aware that this goal I set might not be possible without skin removal surgery (that's for another blog), BUT I said it out loud anyway.  I said it to myself and I shared it with Nathan.  I'm not quite ready to reveal it to the world (hehehehehehe), but maybe someday I will. 

It made me schedule workout times and it programs reminders.  I have the option to log my meals with a red/yellow/green system as opposed to a specific calorie count.  I can set goals, talk to others online and learn new recipes.  I'll keep you posted on my progress.  Today I have a "stair challenge".  I also have to log one meal today. 

So here's to a new day, a new progress a NEW set of numbers :-). 

My Fitness Pal

So there is this REALLY cool app for the Droid that I downloaded and started using today call My Fitness Pal. It tracks my caloric intake, amount of water ingested and activity level. I have the ability to scan barcodes from food items to get the nutrition information. It even gives me info for food from retaurants. I hope it is a useful tool in this journey.

Happy New Year,
