I am...was wondering if anyone else is! between MFP, Fitbit, Runkeeper, Zombies, Run! 5k and my blog I am super focused on my goal.
Would love to meet some new bloggers who use that in conjunction with MFP http://zombie2human.blogspot.com/
And if you use any of the above apps (or have other ones that keep you motivated ) let me know!

    I use NIke+ which is not synch with MFP but I love it, it keeps me motivated because it shows you the miles you had walk/run and compared with your Nike friends, I always get pushed by wanting to be at 1 place in the mile chart :) feel free to add me Diana_Reyes

    I haven't used the Nike app. I went with the Runkeeper since it did integrate with fitbit and mfp. I will check it out though!

    Thanks Snazzyjazzy! It really has made a difference in accountability for me. If I go over on my day I have to admit it to the world!

    Hi, i'm totally with you on the apps! I also evangelize phone apps as helpers in my lifestyle changes. I use MFP, Zombies, Run!, Runstastic, Fitbit and Audible.
    The Audible app is for listening to serial stories, maybe a chapter at a time listening to a book with a lot of action or suspense. However, it needs to be a very compelling story because i will limit myself to only being able to listen to the next part of the story by getting out of the house or the office and go for a walk so i can find out what happens next. This helps making exercise fun for me. :)

    Hi Andy! Audible is great idea! I hadn't thought of that. That is kinda the reason I was going with Zombies, Run! 5k app. I get a bit of the story but can still have music when I am working out. I will have to download a book to listen to and see if it will keep me motivated!

    This is me on fitbit: https://www.fitbit.com/user/279Q25
    and this is me on zombies run: https://www.zombiesrungame.com/Highfalutin/

    feel free to add me!
