Welcome to the Modern world of weight loss.
There is some good in our modernization, because we can use all this new technology for our benefit.
Admittedly i am more of the 'old school' when it comes to social media but i can see the present and future unfolding and its wise to utilize some of this for our health benefit.
Today there are thousands of smart phone and iPad applications available; some can be very useful, allowing you to access health information at a moment's notice no matter where you are.
Mobile devices allow real-time decision support by enabling users to check the caloric value of foods and food recipes etc.
A few years ago after i helped a patient overcome serious health issues and he gave me a gift of a push bike and later a basic Heart Rate Monitor. Both were much appreciated and this monitor was the best thing for me as it gave me a big wake up call
I was riding my bike every day but very leisurely as it turned out. After using the monitor for a few days i was shocked that i was only going at 1/2 pace. From then on i used this device to motivate myself to a better exercise level and the results soon showed. You see we need to raise our heart rate up to your anaerobic threshold for 20 to 30 seconds, followed by a 90-second recovery period, in order to get the full benefits.
Just recently i purchased a inexpensive small device that clips on your clothes and counts your steps. This can motivate you to walk more.
You can find them on line or drop into a sport store and ask.
There are many Weight Loss Apps available but i have not tried these at this stage and maybe one day i will bring out my own. If any one has any to recommend let us know.
i noticed TechCrunch recently reviewed a host of health and fitness apps worth checking out if you are interested.
I hope this help motivate you into improving your health and longevity.
God Bless

The bottom line... it will help to have a heart rate monitor device to measure your heart rate to help optimize your workout.
