App Review: Lose It! by FitNow

Our first app review is going to cover one of the very first fitness apps I ever encountered.  It is called "Lose It!" by FitNow, Inc.  I found this app a couple of years ago when I had went through a fitness spurt and installed this one on my iPod Touch.  I liked the layout of it and it seemed to flow nicely.  When I gave up my iPod Touch and migrated to an Android based smartphone, I wasn't sure if there was anything comparable in the Android Market.  A couple of weeks ago I found it again.  And I am glad to see that not much has changed, with the exception of a few added features.

You might ask "What is wrong?" or "Is he sick?". And the answer to both of these questions is a simple one. No, I'm doing just fine. Over the course of the last 7 to 8 years I have managed to do a fairly good job of neglecting my personal health from a weight standpoint.  In other words, years of eating crap and bad sleep habits are catching up with me.  And up until March 1st, 2012 I had done nothing to reclaim that part of my life.  You may ask: "What is significant about March 1st?".  And...
