MyFitnessPal

Calorie CounterOK, I haven’t lost my mind but I need to lose 12 lbs in order to get to my target weight! No, I’m not turning anorexic but I just realised that I have gained some pounds over the summer and whilst I was in the process of losing those extra pounds, I thought of adding on a few more pounds to lose to get to a target weight that I’ve been thinking about for a while, but haven’t really been serious about doing it.

So, I’ll be using the website MyFitnessPal to track my progress by entering what I eat, and entering the exercise that I do (essentially, I’ll be counting calories burned/inake). I happened to come across this site whilst waiting for my Mum @ her dentist today (she was having 3 root canals!). Eek. Anyway, they had free Wi-Fi and whilst browsing on my iPhone, thought about getting an app for health and this was  one of the first listed apps. 🙂 I thought that since I’m so into my iPhone right now, I’ll be more inclined to actually follow through (since I’ll have a phone-interface and web-interface to work with!)

My goal is to lose a pound a week… Don’t know exactly if I’ll be able to do that, but I’m hoping to reach close to my target weight by the time I run my 9th marathon. I’m also hoping to reduce the size of my waist, i.e., gut! since you can enter your neck, waist and hip measurements (so it’s not just about weight).

I know I already won’t eat right after a week (LOL) but with any luck and some discipline, I can at least match my intake to my activity… Ahhh, who am I kidding? Let’s see how far I go before dropping this altogether. +_+

p.s.,
If you’re on MyFitnessPal, LMK! We can be “friends” on there and encourage each other ^_^ The app is also available for phones running Android OS 😉
