mentioned this application in the 2011 app roundup but I want to go a little bit more in depth because I believe that this app is just it's just so amazing and the service is just so awesome and it'll really help people change their lives the app is called calorie tracker although it might have a different name depending on your operating system it's available on multiple os's ends going for 299 US dollars before the Windows Phone OS it's actually temporarily free right now so you wp7 owners just go pick it up because you know it's free in a nutshell it's basically a dietary and fitness tracker it has a huge selection of different dishes and food items from brand name condiments to pre-portioned measurements mean to all different kinds of fruits and even dishes from restaurants very handy when you're on the go I've used this app on my iPhone my samsung focused my iPad and so on and so forth and to be honest the app is kind of man but but it does get the job done more often than not I do experience a sync issues and the functionality is very very different from one OS to the other so it's a little bit inconsistent the fitness selection isn't as specific though it doesn't have specific exercises like bench press instead it has more generalized items like weight lifting or circuit training however it does have a lot of treadmill options which is handy thankfully they have a wickedly build web app that works pretty gosh darn well you have to sign up for an account for all this magic to work but it's free and so is the service of course there is a paid version but we don't

some background info here growing up I was on a rather large child and when I was about 16 or 17 I weighed about 250 pounds not very nice okay and it was then that I decided to do something about it so I started my journey to losing weight and also to learning as much as I can about the science of weight loss I eventually lost her around 100 pounds or so and got into bodybuilding than powerlifting but that that's like a whole nother thing weight loss is actually quite simple but simple doesn't necessarily mean easy those are two very very different things all you gotta do is eat less calories and what your body expends metabolically and you should be in good shape and by that I mean okay let's pretend you didn't your body needs around 2,000 calories to do whatever I need to do you know like um waking up going to work going to the park to watch the ducks fly and all that kind of stuff you know just your daily activities so let's pretend you need two thousand and daily you consume 1,500 that puts you at a 500 calorie deficient so it will take that 500 calorie worth of energy from stored energy which is your fat so if you keep this up you will eventually lose fat mass very very simple stuff livestrong.com and various other online sites can help you calculate your metabolic needs based on your age your height your goals your weight and so on and so forth very very great tools to help you stay focused instant and keep you aware of what you're eating and how much you need to eat on it on a daily basis here are five quick weight loss tips that I can give you right now one eat smaller more frequent meals throughout the day so in between your portion breakfast and your lunch have yourself you know little snack I personally have some almonds or something along the way to drink lots of water okay sometimes your body can confuse thirst for hunger 3 stay consistent a lot of people including myself lose motivation along the way which is bad news bears do whatever it is you need to do to stay motivated and help you stay focus for me that livestrong thing really really helps out for educate yourself learn whatever learn as much as you can about dieting fitness and nutrition and all that fun wonderful stuff because for me what the more I learned about my body and the more I learned about nutrition the more I can tweak my dieting and exercise plan to optoma help me optimize my results and 5 control your portions I got myself a little looks like a basically it's a miniature scale but instead of waiting people you wait food I find that that really really helps me out with portion control and highly recommend it it's about five or ten bucks depending on where you pick it up so if you're like me and you want to lose a little bit of way to want to get
