Ok, we all know the iPhone is a cool phone/ipod/browser, but unless you are using plenty of the applications that have been designed for use on the iPhone, you are not taking full advantage of this device.

Dina found a free app called "Lose It", designed to help you lose weight by being your handy-dandy calorie counter. It asks you for your info, height/weight/age/gender, then asks for your "goal".

I decided to try it, it was free anyways. And after one week of using it, I"ve lost 5 lbs. It helps to make you very aware of everything you are about to eat. It "budgets" your daily calorie intake, so when you see yourself reaching the max calorie amount for the day, it really helps you stop eating or start exercising! Try it....

Here are my goals: I started last week at 216lbs, now I'm at 211. By October 11th, I want to be at 190 lbs. I'll post on my efforts every once-in-a-while, just to feel even more obligated to lose those 21 lbs!
