CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Jason Parker on February 17, 2009
Lose It is a free, simple-to-use weight-loss app that can help you set long-term goals and track calories consumed and burned. The Lose It interface is very intuitive, making it quick and easy to log both food and exercise--which is a must for any good diet and exercise tracker. The first time you use Lose It, you enter your gender, age, weight, height, and desired weight and weight-loss rate, and the app sets a goal date and gives you a daily calorie budget. The app then helps you track your progress with graphs, logs, and daily feedback (such as useful "net" calorie tracking). As with similar apps, the usefulness of Lose It's relatively large food and exercise database depends on whether it includes your particular meals and activities. Lose It covers many of both (for the former, this includes chain restaurants and supermarket brands; for the latter, it's everything from darts to jai alai to "sexual activity"), but fortunately you can edit and create your own entries that are then easy to re-use. Overall, Lose It is an excellent value and one of the best choices available for a free app of this kind.

A summary of daily and weekly nutrient consumption is provided on the My Day tab. Your profile lists the estimated daily calorie budget required to meet your goal. You can adjust this figure by editing your profile using the Modify Profile screen available from the Goals tab. Starting and goal weights can be adjusted by editing your profile using the Modify Profile screen available from the Goals tab.

Version: Lose It 1.2
"really really good exercise/calendar tracker"
Pros: This is a very easy way to set weightloss goals, establish net calorie budget (it does it for you), track calories, track exercise and track weight loss. Since you take your iPhone with you everywhere (you do, don't you?) it works great.
Cons: I only wish that it would sync to a web application where you could sync data and enter information... but it's so easy as a stand-alone iPhone app that it's not much of a "con"
Summary: Really great. Good user interface. Most foods are easy to look up in their extensive database, and if you can't find something, it's easy to add your own info. I highly recommend this app. AND IT'S FREE (for now, anyway) !
