Losing Weight (or Not) with my iPhone

It's relatively painless to track calories with LoseIt! on the iPhone

After coming back from a tropical vacation recently, I realized it was time to get back on the wagon about tracking calories.  It's really easy to let it get away from you.  So I took up again with mobile phone application I had picked up for my iPhone - LoseIt!.

This free application helps you set goals and track calories and exercise, and then shows you a little graph of your progress. Or, in my case, lack thereof.  It really doesn't let you off the hook.  I had started my tracking before the vacation and when I took it up again discovered (uh, oh) a slight weight gain after vacation return. 

But that's why I like it - it's hard to cheat.  This combined with a private Who's the Biggest Loser competition I'm having now with a friend in a similar boat may turn this into a pretty useful tool.
