Hello I just started about three weeks ago, and have lost about 8 lbs so far!
I found that Nike+GPS helps me motivated to walk more during the day, plus I can see how much I burned with it.
I also had hypnosis podcast long time ago that helps you keep you motivated. I am thinking of start using this again.
Do you have any app you suggest along with using MFP?

    HI leahhelene!
    They both look great! Especially Walkmeter is made just for walking not like running program Nike made! I think I am going to try this one too. Thanks for the great info!

    yes, it is awesome for walking. I am not a runner (knees), and I find that this program really motivates me to get out there and walk. I like being able to look at the calendar view and see how many times a week I've walked, etc. The one thing I have noticed is that the calories burned do not line up with what calculates on MFP exercise program. I use the Walkmeter calories burned and adjust the time in MFP to those calories. Not sure why this is, but I think walkmeter is more accurate since it take into account more criteria (weight, age, sex, distance, pace, etcc) than I think MFP does.

    I also love looking at my route in map form after I walk... that is just so cool.

    Hope you like it.
