Has anyone tried Vida or MyfitnessPal?

Hello,

I’m trying to lose about 15 pounds in the next 6 weeks. A friend recommended MyFitnessPal and Vida coaching, anyone tried these?

Hi Torimartin,

No, I've never tried either one of those, but they look somewhat like sparkpeople and I have tried that. I lost an average of 2-3 pounds per week when I was on that and I have been maintaining since I reached my goal. I lost 22 pounds in total and then went directly into maintenance. At first I found it a bit challenging to stop losing weight because I had really brought my body into the zone and I struggled to determine exactly how many calories I should be eating to maintain as opposed to how many I was eating to lose. But I have found my groove now and I still use it even though I reached my goal back in august. I hope that helps. It looks like those programs are all pretty similar. Sparkpeople is free, though. I'm not sure if the ones you mentioned are.
