My fitness Pal --Sharing to my sisses

[andee_gurl]

Hi mga sisses, I just want to share something.

I was very fit before because I used to go to the gym. After that, medyo tinamad ako and i gained weight. I tried zhen de shou once, and hindi maganda effect sakin, nagpalpitate ako and super high ang feeling. After that, I gave up zhen and stopped dieting and gained weight. I tried Herbalife, lost pounds pero after ko magstop, bumalik na naman sa dati. so supplements such as those didn't really work in the long run. I felt sad, kasi i want my old body back-FAST.

Then just 4 weeks ago, I discovered one of the itouch apps na free which is called myfitnesspal. When you sign up, it gives you your daily calorie allowance, and lets you keep track of the food you eat bec almost ALL foods are there with the calorie content. In a way it helped me keep track of what I am eating, and if I am going overboard.

Another good thing about this is that if you exercise (walk,jog,aero) you can log it as well and it will be added on your calorie allowance for the day.

This tool helped me keep track of what I eat, and subconsciously, it motivated me to exercise (siguro para mas makakain ako..hehe). So after 2 weeks of using the tool, I started doing hiphop abs. (30-45mins). Maybe it also helped that I take 1 cap of L-carnitine 30mins before I work out. L-carnitine also has its benefits unlike the china made weight-loss capsule

I'm on my 4th week now and I've lost a total of 4lbs. I know it's not too much, but I am happy kasi I eat what I want, pero I was able to discipline myself to eat in moderation.

Now, parang it's a part of my daily routine now to make sure I exercise--be it hiphop abs or just a 30min walk...I feel incomplete if I am not able to burn off some calories...hehe

I'm sharing this to you, because it made me realize that you do not have to spend much, or be too dependent on weight-loss supplements
which you are not sure of the contents.

If you lost hope in losing weight, maybe you can try this method.

You can also access myfitnesspal sa computers niyo. :-)

Thanks for sharing!

[zidane]

tnx sis trying it now!!

[aquacharly]

ANDEE GURL. thanks for sharing!

It appears to be a viable/workable and safe method to lose weight... not dependent on some supplement.  The backbone of a weight loss program is really exercise + mindful eating -- consistently both done.

Will try your commendation.   

And yes, gradual but consistent weight loss is the safe way to go.. no drastic or yoyo weight loss/gain

[andee_gurl]

Glad to be of help sisses. I hope this works for you too! :-)

[gingerandspice]

sis pano mo cinocompute yung exercise? pansin ko akin puro negative! gotta lay off the snacks na talaga! hehe

im doing the 30 day shred now, di ko alam pano ko sha iinput dun! pffffffffffft.

edit:

so i googled it, and madami pala may question din nun. hehe

[health.gal]

ei, may thread pala na ganito. i have an account at fitnesspal, but i havent used it for 2 months na. i just felt hopeless with losing weight that time. but now, i've enrolled myself at the gym. diet + exercise talaga (its a healthier way)....let me try using it again (thanks for reminding me of this)

[cess]

i have this one too.. downloaded it din sa iphone kasi pwede sya offline then sync na lang sa account sa site nila.. it's really a nice way to track your calories.. I just started my diet and im really careful not to exceed my 1200 calories/day.. pag nagexceed ng onti, I double my exercise..

[kcjane]

True ba talaga mga sodium and all na nakalagay dun? God,  im eating food with to much sodium ,

[health.gal]

^sis hindi ko magets question mo because of the "textspeak". anyway, ang alam ko unhealthy talaga ang too much sodium, kaya advice ng mga nutritionist or kahit yung mga fitness instruction, if you're trying to lose some fats, and diet dapat low on sugar and sodium 

[birchtree]

thanks for sharing sis andee =) ma-try nga rin.

[hotmom]

thanks for the info sis im gonna try this i downloaded in my ipod already...

[andee_gurl]

wow dami na pala mga replies... :-)

I haven't been able to exercise, though i am still tracking my food myfitnesspal... haven't gained weight nama..hehe :-)

[kcjane]

i mean  kung accurate ba talaga ang mga data na naka input doon,, kasi diba pwedeng ikaw mismo ang maglagay ng data ike calories,, sodium etc..

[health.gal]

^im not sure kung LAHAT ng info nila dun ay accurate. but so far, for processed foods, canned goods, instant noodles, accurate naman based on the info written on the packaging

[laviere]

thanks for sharing, andee! this sunds like a great tool. i'm also trying to be mindful of what i eat, my metabolism isn't what it used to be. sigh.

[kcjane]
