fatsecret has been crucial on my weight loss journeys. This year, I’ve lost 1 stone 1lb in 5 months. I'm so grateful it’s free as a basic resource—thank you, fatsecret!The weigh-in feature and progress graphs really help. Seeing my progress each time I lost a bit of weight kept me going and motivated me to start again.
FatSecret was recommended by a coworker around 2008 when I was struggling to lose weight. I initially used it to see how many calories I was consuming in a day. I cut back until I reached 1500 a day and lost 27.5 pounds in under a year. I've been a faithful user since.
fatsecret has helped me over the years and always been my starting point whenever I needed to get back to a healthy weight. The app is easy to use and the record logs keep you motivated.
