15. Why use mobile fitness apps? Individuals who set goals and record activities and monitor progress are more likely will achieve their goals. Food recalls (after the fact) tend to be unreliable. Mobile apps can integrate individual records with a buddy or social system to help motivate yourself and others, with the possibility of “anytime, anywhere”.

16. What is your favorite fitness, nutrition, or health app for iPad, iPhone, or Droid? FEEDBACK in Facebook. An AU friend & colleague: I use Calorie Counter to keep track of the food I eat and Workout Buddy to keep track of the types of exercises (type, weight/time, reps) I do at the gym. Both are being used on a Droid. A follow up discussion: In the beginning, the Calorie Counter application made all of the difference in the world. It allowed me to easily keep track of what I was eating no matter where I was located. Eat This Not That tweets were extremely helpful as well. These tips showed me what healthy options were available at fast food and sit down restaurants. Because I could still eat at these places with my friends and family, I continued to be successful. Workout Buddy has helped me keep up with the types of exercises I do at the gym right on my phone. It has been a huge help as well. All of these applications helped me stay motivated and provided me the insight I desperately needed. I feel as though if I did not have the ability to use these applications on my phone, I would not have had the success that I have had during this journey. Unfortunately, I still have a long journey ahead of me but I am hopeful that the success I have had carries on in the future.

17. What is your favorite fitness, nutrition, or health app for iPad, iPhone, or Droid? FEEDBACK in Facebook. I have used fitday, have friends who swear by daily burn. have to admit I'm intrigued by the meal snap app at daily burn. The weight watchers download for members is really good. I use Back Pocket. I incorporate Yoga-Free app into my StrongWomenprogram.

18. What is your favorite fitness, nutrition, or health app for iPad, iPhone, or Droid? FEEDBACK in Google+ SJ: I use RunKeeper on Android for tracking my walking. MC: - I use the free version of Cardio Trainer for Android to track my exercise. SJ: +MC, I actually got the pro version of Cardio trainer through the Amazon free app of the day, but it will have to wait until I replace my OG Droid to use it.

19. What is your favorite fitness, nutrition, or health app for iPad, iPhone, or Droid? FEEDBACK in Twitter. I use ifitness, mapmyride, and Lose It. I like WebMD (great first aid advice) and LoseIt (nutrition information tracking). For calorie tracking, I use MyFitnessPal. It has almost every food in there! I use couch potato to 5 k and my husband uses livestrong for diet.
