93 lbs lost
Darlene, 70, from Yuma, Arizona, didn’t know how much her life would change when she bought her first smartphone from the Apple store in February 2021. For years, she struggled to maintain a healthy weight, trying various weight loss programs and diets only to regain all the weight she’d lost once the program was over. Darlene wanted to approach weight loss sustainably instead of chasing temporary quick fixes. She discovered Lose It! when searching for a calorie counter on her new phone and immediately loved the ease at which she could track what she was eating and drinking. In fact, Darlene can’t imagine a world where she isn’t logging her food, keeping tabs on her daily steps, and monitoring how much water she drinks because she genuinely enjoys it.
My life dramatically changed after I started tracking my foods with Lose It! I quickly realized that my body didn’t need all the extra calories I was taking in, and the app made it easy to see what I was eating. I began to plan my meals ahead of time and saved my favorite recipes in the app. I could easily set small, attainable goals, and before I knew it, I had lost almost 100 pounds and opened the doors to a new, healthier way of living.” – Darlene
She now uses Lose It! as a tool to maintain her weight. It helps to hold her accountable for what she eats and encourages her to maintain her new healthy habits. Doctor’s visits are no longer something that Darlene dreads. She hears positive feedback from her healthcare team about all the progress she’s made instead of worrying predictions about her health. Her cholesterol levels are normal, and she has put off knee surgery (she hopes for good).
Bottom line: I love Lose It! My friends laugh when I log meals, even when on vacation. For me, I will always track my food with the app. I enjoy doing it, and it’s something I plan to do every day for the rest of my life.” – Darlene
Darlene is living proof that losing weight and changing health outcomes can begin at any age.
