- For exercise, I would suggest "Xrun" app (search for it in iTunes). It is really simple, which makes it much more likely that you will actually use it.

- You don't need an App to lose weight with your iPhone. Just try running around looking for decent AT&T service, voice or data. You'll wind up looking like a world class long distance runner!

- The segment on Lose It was spot on - it is simple & easy to use. You can't get bogged down in every detail of every meal or exercise or you may get frustrated. It takes what we all should know - less net calories in per day than you need to maintain will result in weight loss. It is not a diet! I have been using it since 2/09 and it has been the easiest loss of 45 lbs. I have not denied myself any foods that I like but I eat less and better because of Lose It. I use an iPod Touch - if you don't have one it is the best investment of $200 and it will change your life.

- Dr. Jennifer, Just wanted to let you know of another fabulous app, called Calorie Counter by Fat Secret (www.fatsecret.com). One of the nice things about this app is it runs on Iphone/Touch, Blackberry, AND Android. The Android and Iphone versions actually allow you barcode scan in your food as well as manually. Great app. :)

- I decided I don't really require an I-Phone to get my work done, and I probably don't need and "app" just to trim my waistline. If a food is processed, has lots of carbohydrates, sugars, starches or a long ingredients list I just don't eat it. I know; I probably sound a bit like Andy Rooney -- but we are probably both near the same age.

- Great feature on healthy iPhone apps there - I'm using the My Fitness instructor app from British Military Fitness, and I think it's awesome - I've already shed 23 pounds in five weeks!
