Lose It Reviews

I have always struggled with my weight since a teen... I'm 5ft 9in. When I married in 1993, I weight 150lbs, after having 5 babies, each pregnancyhad gestational diabetes and I just kept packing on the pounds. I eventually got up to at least 285lbs and very unhappy with myself.
I have tried many many diets and never successfully.
I learned about Lose It and I love it!
It was tough at first, because I just really wasn't aware of just how much I was over eating. Lose It made me aware and trained me to rethink about how much I am eating. After maybe 2 or 3 months I got to where I could just look at my plate and think to myself... oh no you don't, that's way to many calories
I went from 285 to 165 in 14 months.
I blew my diet on a few occasions, but over all stuck with it... the first 6 weeks or so was the hardest, I wanted to eat more than Lose It suggested... but old habits are hard to break, and this program really helped me retrain myself and create better eating habits. I highly recommend it to people all the time.
While using Lose It, It made me aware of how many calories are in the foods I enjoy, so to stick to the caloric intake suggested, I just had to learn portion sizes and work those special foods I love into the program... I still ate and eat everything I love, not to many changes, just the portion size changes.
Cheesecake is my deadly sin, and I still was and still am able to enjoy my Cheesecake... I just had/have to plan it into the day and make smaller food portion sacrifices to work it in.
I have and have always had the FREE VERSION for approx 5 1/2 years now and it works for me.
I sometimes gain back a few pounds and turn back to the program and log my foods to help count calories and get me back on track.
YES I USE JUST THE FREE VERSION, cuz I'm that cheap! AND IT WORKS GREAT, for me. I HAVE BEEN USING THE FREE VERSION FOR ALMOST 6 YEARS ...and have kept my weight down for 5 yrs.
I have never had any of the issues others are mentioning , being charged, emails, customer service issues, but have never needed customer service. I do get a pop up when I first open the app asking if I want to upgrade and I just "x" it closed each time...NOT ONE SINGLE ISSUE FOR ME!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LOSE IT
wishing I could download a pic to prove my success using it

I thought it was a 7 day trial and THEN I could decide whether to use it or not. Instead it was calorie counting (which I didn't want). I was charged the $43 and they got free money and I'm not using it. I tried to get a refund through my bank and they couldn't help either. Beware users.

Lose It is the best weight loss app that I have tried. Better than My Fitness Pal and better than "noom". They give you enough calories to lose weight at your own pace (less calories if you want to go faster, obviously). I can link a fitbit to it and I can add my own meals/foods. It does remind you to log your meals but doesn't nag you and you can turn the reminders off.

This is a really excellent calorie tracking app. If you pay the minimal annual charge, it's even better. I especially like: that you can quickly log and edit previous meal combinations, save recipes, calculate a fraction of something (eg .25 of a choc bar or recipe) and there has been literally no item I have been unable to find, either by name or bar code. It also links to my fitbit. I am waffling on, but it is so great when something works better than expected!

Just looked this app. Did NOT confirm my email address but nevertheless my Free trial has started and I CAN’T, after trying different platforms and following app advice, see anywhere where I can unsubscribe!! I’m assuming that this is because Loseit will take the first payment after trial expires regardless!!!! Even if I don’t want to proceed!!! Is this sharp practice???? It seems to have logged a subscription onto my phone which I can’t remove!!! Shocking and annoyingly time consuming! Maybe their diet ploy is to keep you tied up on phone do you don’t have time to eat!????

Very good app- I managed to lose 20 lbs in around 2 months, however I was a little irked by it being very American. If I had a can of Coca Cola it would refer to it as “Soda”, biscuits were called “Sugar Cookies”, chocolate bars “candy” and courgettes something else I’ve never heard of. I can swear that where I come from I have never had soda, candy or sugar cookies! Occasionally I would scan the bar code of an item (mostly items from Marks and Spencer’s) and it would come up with an item that was totally different and from an American store.
All these things started to grate a bit after a while, so I stopped using it. I think I will wait for Lose It to offer a proper UK version, with UK names for things in British English.

Wish I could give zero stars.
I downloaded the App four and a half weeks ago and because it didn't work I uninstalled it.
I'm still getting emails from this company even though the emails were supposed to take two weeks before I didn't receive any more. GDPR regulations state that unsubscribing from emails is immediate.
Contacting Customer Service is impossible as you get through to a page where you think your question is going to be sent to the company but comes back with answers to irrelevant questions.
If you're happy with the App crashing, them breaking GDPR regulations and not being able to get through to Customer Services if you need to then go with them. I would say stay well clear.

Use it! This app changed my life about 8 years ago. I lost a ton of weight and then stopped using it about 2 years after my weight loss and I gained about 20 lbs. back. I decided to download the app again and once again it’s changing my life. This app is easy to use and works great at helping you set goals and stick to them. When you actually see the calories in a food item it helps you make better choices. I’m already down 11 lbs after 31 days and looking forward to losing it all and keeping it off this time.

This app is a great, FREE way to keep track of calories in and out and set a specific daily goal. It would be nice if you could add your own exercises and calories since different people burn different amounts of calories doing different things. There is an option to pay for a premium account in order to be able to log body measurements, more nutrition details, and sleep, but the free version works just fine to record calories and weight over time. It is fun to track calories even if you don't want to try to lose weight. It is interesting to see what you are putting into your body. This app makes tracking calories easy and fun.
