MyDietDaily -Lose Weight Smart

I lost 25lbs on weight watchers last year. Decided to try other (cheaper) options for maintenance since WW is pretty expensive. This is one of two apps I found that is pretty close. It’s been buggy over the years but this last update has me changing my review to 4 stars. Improvements for sure, but the restaurant section is still buggy. Type in Chick Fil A and you get results. Type in McDonald’s (or anything after the first search) and you will only get results for Chick Fil A (or whatever your first search was). If you close the app and reopen it will work, but only one restaurant search unless you close it and open it again. I haven’t had enough confidence in the app to use it exclusively yet but it is a pretty good app, just buggy. And no developer response if you email them.

I was on WW for quite a bit of time, I liked how they had point tracking however it was quite expensive for someone who takes awhile to lose weight like I do. The benefit and better choice with this app is it has all the same point tracking abilities as WW plus the added ability to track your macro nutrients. This has been very beneficial in fine tuning weight loss goals and really getting the most out of my dieting. I am someone who suffers from inflammation in allot of my body. This app furthermore helps me to be able to stay on top of my inflammatory responses and helps me not be plagued with constant pain in my everyday life.

I’ve lost weight tracking calories but gained it back plus some because of life circumstances and just being overwhelmed by the process. This app takes away the obsessive nature of calorie tracking and breaks it down into points which feel much less overwhelming. Also I haven’t checked but heard it’s more affordable and more user friendly than ww but using the same principles that make the ww point tracking system a great tool for weight loss. I’m confident I’d be able to stay consistent and lose the weight I need to lose to be healthy. I like the addition of weekly points for flexibility too. Right now I have 75 lbs I want to lose so I’m looking at least a year but will likely extend it for maintenance too.
