MyFitnessPal and FitBit

MyFitnessPal is a great tool to help you reach weight loss, fitness, and health goals. It is an application that can be downloaded on your iPhone, Android, Blackberry, or computer. It allows you to keep track of calories eaten daily and also your physical activity, keeping you accountable for your day to day activities. Being aware of what we are eating and our recommended calorie intake can have a huge impact on successful weight loss.

Along with MyFitnessPal application, there is the FitBit, similar to a pedometer but more sensitive. A FitBit also has a variety of features that are helpful in reaching your weight and fitness goals. It contains a 3-D motion sensor that can track what a normal pedometer cannot. It counts steps taken, calories burned, distance traveled and sleep patterns. It can tell you how long you've slept and whether or not you sleep well. The best part of the FitBit is that all the data it gathers can be uploaded to your MyFitnessPal. Together they offer a very effective and helpful health and fitness tool.

Weight loss is hard to achieve long-term but is possible with effective tools and references.
