What's up with license agreement? I am not a suspicious person by nature, but when I open this ap and saw PAGES of a license agreement I had to agree to before I could use program, I got worried. I looked at some of the reviews for this program and saw others had same concern. What information are they collecting and what are they doing with it. I have no idea, but they sure are trying to "CYA" with agreement.Too many unanswered questions for me. Never had to sign my life away for an iphone ap before, not going to now.

Great ease of use! Update: I've been at 70 lbs off for two months solid, maintaining a 4 lb range, only because of this app. Its amazing. My body responds robot-like to the calorie limits. I now know the "mysteries" and plateaus i experienced before were likely old fashioned unknown over-eating. The fact that every exercise means you can eat more that very day is awesome and inspiring. Try this with brutal honesty. There's nothing like the feeling of looking right in clothes. Shopping on the small end of pant sections is unreal to me. Who knows how many years I suddenly added to my life. This app is really important (to me). Go for it!
se this to maintain my weight loss (lost 60 last year)... It's wonderful for maintenance! Everyone here talks about how they lost a few pounds on this, but I think it's an awesome tool to "prevent" weight gain.
Consider adding your own foods.
Honestly, do each of us eat hundreds of different items? I put in my Jenny Craig foods and a few other other foods as they come up. Look on the box, research on the Internet, or look at the provided database for help judging the calories. You really don't need to rely on the provided data as more than a guide.
Exercise becomes rewarding as the calories for the day jump up because you did some. This is fun! And weight loss never usually is. Try it!

Solid!! Too great for a free app, IMO.
This app has liberated me. Thinking about my actual budget motivates me to go to the gym, to more closely watch what I eat, and to eat more when I'm hungry without being afraid of going over. Best of all, it helps me strategize for the day or the week - a salad now for a hearty Valentine's dinner later.
You may not be able to powerfully customize meals so much, but if you do the calculations or a recipe by hand and then create a custom item then you can use it as many times as necessary.
Suggestions: some finer tuning of the excercises feature, such as specifying 'arms' or 'legs' day. Maybe this is outside of the scope of the app, but it helps with planning and looking back.
GREAT job developers. Five stars well deserved!

Major Privacy Implications This application harvests your data and sells it to a third party. I would pay $10 for a version of this app that kept your data private. Great design but the tradeoff and implications of sharing this information outweigh its use.

Great App. A few updates would make it perfect for my needs. After searching and trying many similar applications for my iPhone, I have found Lose It! to be the one that is staying on my iPhone.It really is a quality product and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to keep track of their diet and fitness.I especially love the "Net Calories for the Day" section.The only requests that I would have for future versions would be: 1. the ability to directly edit the calories burned for each exercise. Sometimes I use different settings on my stationary bike that result in differing calories burned for the same time period.2. give the weight tracker more detail than just whole pounds. My home scale reflects weight to the tenth pound and it would be great to have this accuracy in Lose It!3. an application badge showing the remaining calories left for the day, so that you can see how many calories you have left for your your daily goal without having to open the app.Overall, a wonderful application, and one that will get much use.

Great for On-the-Go Daily Tracking This app is beautiful, easy to use and could be the tool you need to stay honest. I've tried other online trackers before to count calories, fat, carbs, etc., but those were all on the computer. The computer isn't following you around in your purse or your pocket like your iPhone. It has really made a difference to me. A few times I have been to dinner and thought "Shoot, the minute I order this, I have to put it into Lose It and I'll be OVER for the day! Noooooo!" I love it so much, I moved it to my Home Row at the bottom of my iPhone screen, right there with Phone, iPod and Camera. I can't live without it. I look forward to seeing it expand its food database and capabilities, but it's pretty well-rounded as is.I love the "Recipe" function and use it extensively to make my own custom foods. For example, you can build a recipe for a salad and search and select all the things you put into it. That way, your Daily Food Log doesn't get cluttered up with Lettuce, Radishes, Boiled Egg, Ham, Cheese, Ranch Dressing, etc. Just one entry for "Chef Salad."Also: some of the reviews here have targeted the CONS without really digging into the app. Perhaps that is a nod to the Developer that certain things need to be made the "Default" instead of an Option. For instance, you CAN make custom foods with more than one nutrient (i.e. Calories) attached to them. You just have to turn on other options (like Fat or Protein) under the "More" section.

they sell your info!? Thought I'd try it...didn't like it and then, before I could really look at it, I read the review about the company in Oregon selling my information (using information to improve an app is one thing--collecting my information for profit is something else entirely). The app has been deleted.

Excellent Interface This app is great for calorie and exercise management.
One thing missing is the ability to see your total carbs, fat, and other nutrients for the day, you only see them for individual foods.
The other big thing missing is up wifi backup or sync option. Not a big deal for weight tracking (at least for me, this is "non-essential" information, so if my iPhone loses all the data... No big deal).
I was about to buy one of the competiting programs. Very happy that I saw this free app first!

Great App Love this app, very intuitive. I got this app and another food journal at the same time. After three days of using both to track my food intake, I stopped using the other one completely. This app allows you to search for generic and name brand foods (supermarket and restaurant), create your own foods, browse through exercises, and edit everything. It also allows you to see your days and weeks in a graphical format so you can compare your net calories to your budget (which it calculates based on your weight and goals). I have been very pleased (and successful) with this app and after just a few days of use, it becomes really easy to keep track of calories consumed and expended. Highest rating. Also, if your goal is to maintain, not lose weight, it will calculate caloric goals for that too.

Nice design, great potential, not there yet Let me say this first: I really liked "Lose It!" and still believe it has a great potential, so I do hope the developer keeps working on it.After spending about a week with this app I decided to give up. So, let me share my experiences, because some of the shortcomings are not so obvious at a first glance.Here are the things I liked about it:1. Really, really, simple and easy app. I figured it out in no time, so - kudos to the developer!2. Attractive, well designed interface, nice colors and cute custom icons. Very easy on the eyes!3. Food database seemed quite large, larger than most calorie counters.4. Stable, has not crashed on me yet. Again, kudos to the developer!5. FREE! Can't complain about the price :)Having said all that, here are the shortcomings that I ran into:1. Food database turned out to be smaller than it looked initially and does not have many foods I eat, like Panera, Amy's, NutriSystem, or Vitamin Water... It only has about 40 restaurant chains.2. The app is very simple and easy to start with, but the downside is that it is quite limited. For example, for custom foods it only allows calories but no other nutrients, it does not show nutrients for the day, it tracks only weight, but no other measurements, does not have progress or nutrient charts, no water tracking, and so on.3. The most important thing for me - food logging - turned out to be taking more time than I was expecting (after test driving another diet log app).4. Last, but not least, it does not sync with a web site - after a week with "Lose It!" I just cannot imagine myself keeping a food log on my iPhone only, with its on-screen keyboard for the next 6 months.So, in the end, after trying to use it religiously for a few days, I gave up. I still think "Lose It!" is better than most calorie counters, but for now I give it only two stars, until the shortcomings are addressed. Great potential, though!UPDATE 3/19/09: Just checked version 1.1, released back in December. The food database is still lacking and getting out of date on many items (even McDonald's!), 7 nutrients and weight chart added, still no web site sync. No major changes, few minor tweaks. C'mon guys, you can do better than this!

Lose It... an impressive application. You must try it I have tried all the weight management apps to date and this is an impressive first pass. Struggling with weight management is tough and it is all about tracking and feedback. I encourage developer to add a weight graph along side the calorie graph... make the time frame adjustable for best display at the desire of the user. Great search tool and optional portion control and fractional volume or weight. Outstanding... CaloryGuard - watchout, you have competition.

Really great app, very customizable This is a great app! Only thing missing is the ability to sync to my desktop or to a website, that's the reason for 4 stars. The app seems to be really solid and I haven't had it crash on me yet so syncing is not a big deal right now. I use this in tandem with RunKeeper, great combo!I have to admit, I love gadgets and these apps are a fun way to approach dieting and exercise. I think Lose It! is better than LiveStrong, mainly because you can add customized foods and exercises.Although LiveStrong syncs to a website, I've had it crash on me even before I've entered in a full meal. LoseIt also has a wonderful look and feel. I'm just glad I got it while it was free!

AWESOME! This is an awesome application. I tried several different ones and this one works best for me. It is simple to use, fast, and really encourages you to make better eating choices. Using the recipes under the more section you can create whole meals that repeat. For example I eat roughly the same breakfast 5 days a week. Now with one recipe I have the whole meal covered. What a great tool!

Reallly well done - highly recommended If you are serious about losing weight, and you are willing to really make the effort, without silly diets, this is for you. You set a goal (be realistic) and then enter everything you eat and before you know it you will realize that you have been fooling yourself about what you eat and will make real progress toward your goal. Also, "Lose It!" shows you how important exercise is because when that is added to your daily tally you see imediately the benefit that burning another 400 or 500 calories has on your daily totals. Entering your meals and exercise is very easy because the application has a large database of foods that are easily searchable. Whats more, once you have entered your foods, the next time you enter a meal the application remembers the foods that you eat most often. Try it for a couple months and see real, lasting benefits!

Calories are wrong! I really liked this app after having it for a couple days. Went to McDonald's one day while still on a diet with Lose It! (got a side salad) and noticed that the amount of calories in almost every food from Mcdonald's was wrong. Nowadays they have those nutrition tables that come on the mats on the trays. After noticing that the amount of calories in my side salad was different on McDonald's nutrition table, I went through the whole menu to find out that pretty much everything in Lose It! (at McDonald's, at least) was wrong. Deleted the app after that. Figured if it isn't going to be accurate, then it's totally pointless.

Needs more exercise choices! I was surprised to find yoga and pilates were not included in the preset exercises. Also, I would like to be able to keep a more accurate weight count, since my scale includes decimal points. Also, while it gives me a goal of calories to stick to each day, it doesn't give you an exercise goal. A nice app that includes food and exercise, but I wish it had more options.

Best of breed by miles One of the most polished apps I've yet seen -- and, with respect to LIVESTRONG, the absolute best of its kind whether you're trying to lose weight or simply like keeping track of your day-to-day nutrition and activity. I'm shocked it's free. But I'm not complaining.
