So many apps out there! Phones, ipods etc! What's your favorite weight loss/exercise app you like to use? (Besides MFP!)

Here are mine:

SIMPLE WEIGHT : tracks weight. I log every am and it helps me understand the natural variance to weight.

MFP: of course! So handy!

CARDIO TRAINER: Haven't tried it yet.



What's some of your favorite apps/games non related to weight loss/exercise?

Non fitness: KINDLE - my book is always with me!

    Runkeeper I use it to track my bicycle rides. Great mapping, will interface with my HRM and allows me to play my songs in the background

    jogtracker: It works for a variety of exercises, maps out whatever route you took, and calculates miles. I use it for biking new trails.

    Fooducate - you can scan a food and it will give you its "grade" on how healthy it is. Kind of list the pros and cons of the food, and give you suggestions for better alternatives.

    Restaurant Nutrition - lists menu items for many restaurants

    I was hoping this was about APPetizers because I'm slightly masochistic today and have been looking continuously at recipes for food I can't have.

    I've been looking for something like this. I go out and walk/run and then have to count blocks or drive it to know! LOL I'm trying to find a good 5k path by my house so I can "train".

    NTC- Nike Training Club.. absolutely AMAZING!

    I also like Tempo Magic (or something like that..) to speed up the songs on my iPod so they're perfect for all workouts, no matter how intense or light i want them. :)

    I use Nike Training Club (I LOVE IT! Excellent workouts on there and very well-designed app) and Runkeeper.

    Aside from MFP, I love:

    Runkeeper (routes, journaling, and pace/calorie info for running, but also hiking, walking, etc.)
    MapMyRide (similar to Runkeepr, but I use this one for biking)
    Couch to 5k (to get started or re-started running)
    Bridge to 10k (good inspiration to up distance safely)
    Arookoo (for silly walking fun)

    Clearly, I am (possibly overly) focused on mapping routes and creating challenges for myself.

    Nike + GPS for tracking my runs

    LIVESTRONG - They have a huge database of verified foods if I can't find something in MFP

    Fast Food - Has a database of fast food/restaurant calories

    Nutrition - Has a database of foods and counts your entries with either WW points or cals

    It's not an app but it's a great website...Healthy Dining Finder...gives you the healthiest options at a variety of fast food/restaurants

    I am trying digifit. It works with a dongle that plugs into the iphone that reads ant+ heart rate sensors (and other types as well). Used it for the first time last night and it did a great job of showing me my heart rate while I exercised.

    I love Cardio Trainer. Had to fiddle with the settings a little to get the distance to read correctly, but it works great to map my hiking.

    Non-Fitness - My favorite is Cheezburger! Too funny :D
