Now sure, some of you who know me also may know that I OWN an iPhone3, but sadly I only really use it as an iPod. The wifi part of the phone is shot, the apps work when they feel like it, but it still serves up some mean tunes (and podcasts). But to date, I've never had an iPhone which I use for its intended purpose.
However, the tides seem to be turning and even though AT&T is trying their darndest to keep us from acquiring these spectacular phones, it seems that we may be able to find people who are looking to sell their current phones. And also, if you're reading this and are looking to sell your iPhone 4 or 4S, let me know! We may still be looking!!
Anyway, the reason that I'm letting you know about possible, future, technological acquisitions is because said item has VAST possibilities and many mobile applications that are available to possibly assist in my weight loss and fitness goals.
So at this point I ask a question - what sorts of iPhone apps do YOU use that have helped you find success or motivation in your running, weight loss and/or health goals? As of now, I also plan on purchasing a Nike+ Fuel Band which requires an app and tracks daily activity and calories (plus more), and while I have an idea for a few other health-related apps to get, I want to know what's worked for you.
So the bottom line is this - I love seeing numbers, graphs and statistics and some of these apps will givev me just that. I like seeing a visual chart of my progress and I think some of these apps will fill that need. Can't wait to see what you suggest! And once I get the phone I'll let you know which ones I decided on!

Nike FuelBand app - to monitor my activity for the day and my calories burned
Livestrong Calorie Tracker - to track my caloric intake
Weightbot - Keeping track of my weight. Auto-syncs with my Withings scale
Plan to use 100 pushup app next.
My fitness pal. Free. You can track calories, weight, measurements, work outs. I have it on my blackberry. My brother uses it on his iphone. You can even scan barcodes on food packages and it records it in your daily diary.
Scans bar codes? That's so sweet! *noted*
DEFINITELY going to get Weightbot, but will probably use LoseIt to track calories. And I can't wait to get my FuelBand! (check to come soon)
I second "My Fitness Pal"!
Also, I use "RunKeeper" to track the stats for each of my runs. It also uses GPS so it will have a map attached to the run. It's good if you want to plan a run, you can look back and find a run of similar length, and where it was done, etc.
I have my fitness pal! and you should get "draw something". Just because it's awesome. :)
Actually, it's DRAWSOME... :P
My Fitness Pal is what I use, plus Runkeeper.
drawsome is awesome =-)
