My Weight Loss Coach is an app for the iPhone and iPod Touch that lets you track your day to day activities and eating habits in attempt to help you lose weight. While doing all of this, it also offers words of inspiration and challenges to make the entire process that much more fun.

Before you start the app for the first time, make sure you?ve got a good 15 minutes at least to dedicate. The app is very demanding during setup and will require you to not only enter in information about yourself but also go for a walk. Now, you can tell the app no if you don?t have time for that right now, but it?s going to basically force you to exit and be non-functional until you?ve got time to do it.

The app is broken down into two core areas, the Daily Session and the Backpack. In the Daily Session you?ll see a list of check boxes that the app suggests you complete that day. On the bottom half of the screen, you?ll find all of the different areas that correspond with those check boxes. These options include the pedometer, challenge section, physical activity menu, food balance menu, and a calendar to monitor your progress. Each area is pretty self explanatory. The Backpack area is a little more freeform and provides you with a way to monitor your progress, receive some coaching, pick up some tips, and play some games.

The app is very involved and will definitely help those of you looking to lose some weight. Unfortunately, unless your commitment to losing weight matches your commitment to using this app, you won?t get the full value out of it. This app requires some pretty serious dedication from you or it?s going to wind up being just another waste of money.
