Trouble Losing Weight? Check out My Diet Coach II - Pro App Review

You guys have probably been following along with my weight loss journey over the last year, and are well aware that I am seriously struggling right now! When I was under the doctor's weight loss plan, it was so simple...take the appetite suppressants, eat his approved list of foods, and watch the weight come off. I got so used to eating the right away (healthy, whole foods in small portions) that I even lost an additional six pounds on my own after I stopped seeing him!

And then summer happened...pizza in Italy, gelato in Barcelona, tacos, burritos and cheeseburgers on cruises...I gained back about ten pounds once the summer was over! It's been such a struggle to lose that weight, and after chatting with some friends the past few weeks, I see that I am not alone in my struggle to lose the summer weight!

There's a new app available in Google Play called My Diet Coach II - Pro, and there's a free version and a pro version, which costs $3.99. I wanted to share this with you guys because if you're anything like me, it can probably do wonders to help you get your weight loss going, or just to keep you on track in maintaining a healthy weight. I'm going to be sharing the features of the My Diet Coach II - Pro app, as the company sponsoring this post gave me a free download to try it out.

This graphic pretty much explains it all - you set up a goal and then keep track of what you eat, how much you exercise, and refer back to this app to monitor your progress and keep yourself on track for your goal weight!

My Diet Coach II - Pro is a diet diary and calorie calculator, but it's really so much more than that!
