Welcome to the Lose It! family! We’re so glad you’re considering using Lose It! to support your health journey.
75% of former MyFitnessPal users we talked to expressed feeling apprehensive about learning a new tool. So we took their biggest sources of confusion and compiled the information below in the hopes that it will help you more quickly make the switch. With just a few simple steps, you’ll find that Lose It! has much of the same functionality as MyFitnessPal.
We hope that you end up having a similar experience to Colin, who switched to Lose It! after spending over three years with MyFitnessPal:
’I was a MyfitnessPal user for three years, and am so glad I switched to Lose It!. I was initially hesitant to lose all of my historical data from MFP, but found Lose It! so much easier to use in the first week that I signed up for a Lifetime membership.‘ – Colin from Tennessee
