Loving the Lose It! iPhone App

Since I'm fat and need to lose weight my doctor of all people recommended a great iPhone app called Lose It!. She explained that a good method for people to lose weight is simply tracking their daily calories. No fancy diet shakes or eating methods. Just knowing what your maximum calorie intake should be based on your age, height and weight and working to eat below that. There are several online calorie calculators that you can use, such as this one from the Mayo Clinic.

I'm currently 6'1" and 222 lbs. My goal is 200 by the end of the year. Let's see how this goes. Anyway, I love Lose It!'s user interface and design, and being an iPhone app makes it so much easier to track your calories versus being limited to your laptop or desktop.
