I found that weird - it doesn't really help me when I make a huge list of crap I need to do to catch up in class - but it turns out, it does work! I'm working towards dropping 20 lbs (ideally) down to 123, but I'll be happy if I make it down to 132, which is the weight I started college at. I'm currently 16 lbs short of the first goal, but only 7 lbs short of the second! That I find to be motivating. Once I make it to 132, I'll decide whether or not I should aim for the lower weight.

I used it every day for 1.5 years. I started with a goal of losing 40 lbs and it took that 1.5 years to lose it. Today, 6 years later I am at 196 lbs, still an even 40 lbs down from the 236 I started with. I check in once in a while to make sure start any bad habits again. Keep at it and you can make your goal, It's not easy, and you will hit plateaus that last weeks or months where you don't lose. But Fitday will hold you accountable.
