We can’t see these best weight loss apps not coming to your rescue when you need to squeeze into that outfit which has been lying in the closet with a taunting note saying ‘You know you’ve lost it if you can fit into this.’ If you continue to carry the holiday weight that was surprisingly ‘just there’ after a month of gorging on cakes, candies and the rest, then ‘stumbling’ upon this list was definitely not a random mistake. So whether you’re looking at shedding the extra pounds or simply intend to stay fit and lean, give this roster a look. It’s complete with apps for Andoid, iOS, Windows Phone and BlackBerry as well as Symbian users.
1. Lose it!
The Lose it! app by FitNow can be found on the Apple App Store as well as the Android Market if you intend to get to back into shape and keep going. There are not many apps out in the wild that can claim to have helped 85% of their active users lose weight and to top that, their average active Lose It! user has apparently dropped over 12lbs.
It brings in a simple UI besides providing a complete database of activities and food along with the ability to add new exercises and keeping the log updated. Furthermore, you can create a free Loseit.com account to obtain additional features and point you towards your goal quite stubbornly. If you’re still fishing for other plus points, then the fact that this app is free and doesn’t feature any annoying advertisement should probably hit the mark.
2. Easy Weight Loss
The next one in our other picks for the weight loss apps lineup can be downloaded from the Android Market as well as the Nokia Store. So weight watchers who do not abide by the phrase ‘No pain, no gain,’ and look for easy ways to drop the kilos may probably be giving this one a good look. This app is inclusive of hypnosis sessions and tips which will aid you in losing the extra weight. Created by hypnotherapist, Darren Marks, these sessions may probably just want you to alter the aforementioned phrase when you see the results.
