Good Morning. Gadgets and there's an app for that

What are some of your go-to tools for tracking progress and counting nutritional targets, etc?

I track my labs on a spreadsheet, and if anyone wants a copy, send me a message whi*****ludes your email addy and I'll send you a template.

I've loaded a couple of apps on my phone: MyFitnessPal and and a carb counter app on my Android phone but I don't use them everyday or enough...{sigh}

I use a pedometer to track my daily steps.

My first 2 years a used a piece of paper...diet diary, to track what I was eating, drinking and how many times I went outside to walk.

I have a spreadsheet for labs.  I write my Sunday weights on my calendar.  I did my tracking early on with this website, both measurements, weights, and food/fluid.  These days my major tracking is posting on Miles and Menus. 

I use the Daily Burn App to track my food intake, but I have to admit I do better during the week than on the weekends. I also write my weight down on the calendar each week. I need to track my labs as well. I may need that spreadsheet.

Early out (first few years) I tracked online until they changed the program and made it very cumbersome to continue using.  I tried a couple of others but didn't like them.  I also had downloaded Myfitnesspal to my phone and tried using it, but again... cumbersome and now I have a blackberry, apps aren't nearly as plentiful.

Menus and Miles was my go-to for a long time too, and I've gotten away from that.

I have started weighing myself again a few times a week to stay accountable.  Today my daughter said she was going back to WW and asked if I wanted to go with her.  Yes I would, but not at 10am on a Friday morning... I know several OH people who do that to stay accountable.

Yes, I do the labs spreadsheet - very diligent about that!

I use a spreadsheet for my labs also.

I have myfitnesspal on my iphone, but hardly ever use it.  For the first two years, I either wrote on a paper journal all my foods, vitamins and water or put it in a handheld calorie counter.  It tracked calories, carbs, fiber, protein and a few other things and was very handy as it was very small and you could download the info to your computer later and track it.

I have posted on Menus and Miles for the entire time, except a day or two.  I really thing that it is important to stay accountable for what we put in our mouths!!  I know it helps me.

I use the spreadsheet that you gave me for labs and MFP for tracking nutrition :)

I have logged in faithfully for 300 days of MFP :)

I want to get a fitbit.  Anyone that has one have any thoughts on it ?

i also use a spread sheet for labs. I use the health tracker on this site for food,weight and measurements and exercise n fluid intake. pretty convenient for me n they have an app now too i think.

I use the OH nutritional tracker in my account.  I use a lab spreadsheet I got from poet Kelly.  I signed up for MY fitness pal but never use it.  I find it simple to do everything on OH, weights, food log, support.   I have a friend exercise with me so I dont wimp out.  Sometimes I post on menus and miles on LW board.
