Get Gary Fit

There’s an App for That

I’ve had a few people ask me questions about this so I thought I would put it in a blog post to answer everyone’s questions.

The iPhone or iPod Touch app pictured above is called Lose It!, it’s free, and available in the App Store.

Lose It! is different because it is not a “one size” fits all approach to weight loss. It’s based on math. It takes your current weight, height, gender, age, and goal weight and comes up with a plan to lose 2 pounds a week ( or less if you choose ) until you reach your goal weight.

It is different for everyone.

Also as you lose weight, your daily calorie limit decreases. So for instance, my program says:

• Starting weight: 170 lbs
• Current weight: 161.5 lbs
• Goal weight: 130 lbs
• Gender : Male
• Height: 5 feet 8 inches
• Birthday: December 10, 1983
• My Plan: Lose 2 lbs per week
• Daily Calorie Budget: 1,455

This plan will allow me to achieve my goal by January 13, 2010. ( or sooner )
