So there is is this app..

There is an app I use to constantly monitor your steps I know Myfitnesspal has the steps as well yet I downloaded an app called steps that also documents your steps you take and calories. I wanted to share with you all on that.

It's not easy to maintain a constant weight and I feel like I am battling it all the time. I just gained 2 lbs and then lose two, I and then it goes back up again. I know how difficult it is for us women to stay consistent in weight but persistence does pay off, all of you who are struggling just keep at it and you will get there. I hope you guys all succeed in your goals.

Weight fluctuations are normal and happen to everyone. No one is a constant weight 100% of the time (the food you eat, what you drink, hormones, etc can all show temporary gains/minor fluctuations on the scale). That is why it's recommended to have a range of about 5 lbs for maintenance.


As for apps that count steps, yep there is lots. Even the Fitbit app (which syncs to MFP) can be downloaded for free and allows some phones to be used in place of an actual fitbit tracker to count your steps.

Imma gonna let you finish, but I just wanna say fluctuating ± 2lbs isn't a big deal, really. Weight within a single day can easily vary ±6lbs depending on when and what you've eaten. This is well within the bounds of normal.

Persistence and consistency definitely pay off. I dropped a full third of my body weight, gined some back in the form of muscle, and haven't looked back.

Best of luck!
