"First let me say that I no longer believe in dieting: I have learned that all diets "work" in the short term, but in the long term there is usually a rebound weight gain as a result of having felt deprived while dieting. Having said that, simply by using your excellent program I was able to easily make different (and healthier) food choices which enabled me to lose over 40 pounds in about 8 months without dieting or feeling deprived. To my amazement, the weight loss occurred practically effortlessly simply by using your program to keep track of my food choices, and without any other change whatsoever in my lifestyle or increase in my exercise level. In addition, when my husband saw my dramatic changes, he started using your program and he has lost over 60 pounds! We are both more fit now than we have been in a decade, and our blood sugars, blood pressure, and cholesterol all normalized (we had previously had abnormal results, and my husband was showing signs of early diabetes). We were able to go off several medications, chronic pain and stiffness melted away with the weight, and we both look and feel great. For all of this, I thank you. As a busy emergency physician, I don't often have time to counsel my patients about healthy eating and weight loss, but whenever I do, you can bet that I tell them about Life Form!"--LM (Sept 2005)"

"My husband and I have been tracking our food and fitness levels for over a year with Life Form, primarily targeting a 3,500 calorie deficit per week. I lost 20 pounds and my husband lost 30, and we are still working on more. We couldn't have achieved our goals without Life Form and we realize that the way we are losing weight is realistic and permanent, as long as we have Life Form to keep us in check. For those who are following any type of diet, Life Form is an accurate and comprehensive tool for tracking calories, measurements, exercise, vitamin and nutrient mixes, carbs, fats, averages, trends over time, just about any cuts of data one would want for their specific needs. The best thing - Life Form costs so little for the great return it gives, takes only minutes to use every day, and provides such interesting reports about our progress."--Susan Cucuzza

"Xmas 2003 was when I decided to lose weight. When my daughter asked me what size pants I wore. (She wanted to give me pants for Xmas.) I was ashamed to tell her and I didn't want to lie to her......... So, I told her I wore 38's, but that 42's felt so good, I bought 46's. We both had a good laugh at my expense! A few weeks before Xmas, my doctor had told me that I wasn't overweight. She said that, according to her height/weight chart, I was 11' 6", that I just didn't look it!!! That was very diplomatic of her wasn't it? I was 5' 9" and 287 lbs then. I'm 180 now going for 155~160 maintenance weight. It's been a year and a half of hard work! Now, it's no more BP and cholesterol medicine, no more migraines, no more sore knees and back, no more sleep apnea, no more heartburn! Five minutes of play with my grand kids doesn't leave me tripping over my lungs now. Life is great!"--Larry (April 2005)

"So many nice comments already on this page, I just wanted to add another. I've been using Life Form since 1/21/2000 (computers are wonderful historians) and I've always loved it.  I don't use it everyday when my weight is where I'd like it to be, but I certainly go back to it when I realize I've put on a few pounds.  Across multiple operating system upgrades and changes in computers, it's worked flawlessly and gives me the visual feedback I need to see just what I've been doing "wrong".  I'm a physician in one of the primary care fields and I advise my patients all the time, despite the fancy diets out there, weight management comes down to calories in vs. calories out. nothing helps demonstrate that to me better than your product.--Robert R. Wells, MD

"In 'The 9 Truths about Weight Loss,' Dr. Daniel Kirschenbaum talks about keeping track of what you eat.  But it's tedious, it's boring, it's a pain. But not with Life Form.  With Life Form, it's cool, it's fun, it's easy.  Thank you!"--Li

"I just referred a friend to your website.  I think everyone should own this software!  I came across Life Form 5 years ago and it has changed my life.  I studied nutrition in college and had always exercised, but I lacked a practical way to manage my fitness.  Life Form opened my eyes and I realized immediately what I needed to do to reach my goals.  Today, I am 40 pounds lighter and feel completely in control of my health and fitness.  I watch so many people struggle with fad diets and crazy weight loss schemes and I am just shocked that more people don't realize that by simply keeping track of their inputs and outputs they can be IN CONTROL. Thank you so much."--Jennifer Good

"I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love the Life Form software. I bought it over a year ago and have been using it ever since. I track all my doctor appointments, labs and it has really come in handy. Recently I was able to look back at my history of a nasty rash I've had that no one could figure out. I was treated for ringworm, psoriasis, and pityriasis with no relief. My skin was on fire and it was spreading over my whole body. I was miserable and in pain. By reading back through my notes of my doctor appointments, I realized that the rash began shortly after starting a medication. So I was able to share that with my doctors, and it turns out that I am allergic to a whole class of medications. I would never have put two and two together without my notes using Life Form software. Keeping notes of doctor's visits is something I never did before I purchased this software. I will definitely continue to spread the word about Life form. Thank you very much"--Joni Wright

"Your product is the only thing I've ever been able to use which has worked for me.  I've lost 25 pounds using it so far and I expect to continue for a total weight loss of 95 pounds.  Without the ability to track my food intake and exercise this would be impossible. Thanks!"--Larry Austin

"The main benefit of this program for me is having to face my food and exercise choices 'visually.'  I find it very easy to make unhealthy choices when I don't have to face them directly.  With Life Form, the graphs and charts show you how your choices affect you and your goals for the day. It's almost like having a personal dietician there to reinforce healthy eating and exercise."--Laurie Eisenbrown Bischof

"After a diagnosis of Diabetes I began to look for a program to help monitor my calorie, carb, and fat intake. I wanted a program to tie together all the monitoring, food, exercise I do each day and provide some sort of useful report and history. With the advice of my Doctor and Diabetes control nurse I checked out three programs. The first two were nice, but didn't provide all the items I wanted. Then I downloaded a copy of Life Form for evaluation. I had spent over 4 hours evaluating the other two programs, but I purchased Life Form within 20 minutes of checking out the program. It's all there, food counters (calories, carbs, fat), areas for blood glucose monitoring, history files for everything and reports that are useful. I can even keep track of exercise, weight loss, moods for the day, everything. I'm glad I wasted time checking out the other two programs because now I know just how great Life Form is and will help me through the years. Thanks for such a great program."--Kenneth B. Smith Jr.

"I discovered your wonderful software quite by accident in a Micro Center Computer Super Store in mid-May of 1998.  My doctor had suggested that I lose weight, that I exercise, and that I go on a low-fat diet in order to effectively deal with my hypertension and high cholesterol levels.  At that time, I was 60 years old and moderately overweight. Up to that point, I had been trying to track certain vital information relevant to my health 'by hand' using tables and charts I had made on my computer.  It was very tedious, time-consuming, and discouraging to do it this way.  However, when I discovered Life Form, it was like discovering a virtual treasure trove! Your software was the answer to my dilemma!  I bought the last one they had in the store and consider myself very lucky to have been in the 'right place at the right time!'  This software is an excellent record-keeping device and is a joy to use!  I update my records daily as naturally as showering, shaving and dressing! It is now a welcome part of my life.  Life Form, for me, is a lifesaver!--Gordon W. Simmons

"I found a program called Life Form that I used to help me keep track of my food intake and exercise.  Initially, I bought it to help me increase fiber and decrease fat in my diet.  But as I started using it, I found myself making overall healthier choices and my weight loss began in earnest."--Monica A. Frank, Ph.D.

"I wanted to let you know how impressed I am with the Life Form program. 3 years and 55 lbs. ago I loaded the software onto my PC and now I'm well on my way to running marathons. I am living prove that exercise and proper diet can achieve remarkable results. I use Life Form every day and track everything. I tell anyone who will listen about your software. Again, thanks."--Bruce Yochum

"I just had to let you know how much I love your software! It's the easiest one I have ever had!! You also have the best manual I have ever seen! (I have to admit, the program is so easy, I only read the manual for entertainment and new ideas!)  I let all my friends and family know about it, and several co-workers also. I am more fit in the last 2 months than I have been in the last 2 years I have been trying to lose weight. I've been inspired to exercise more, because I now have a way to accurately record my sessions and see how far I have come!  Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart!"--Julie LeBois, Arvada

"Just wanted to drop you a line to update you on my weight loss progress. When I started this diet program on March 1, 1996, I bought this wonderful program. It has helped me tremendously... I have gone from 350 pounds down to 240 for a total weight loss of 110 pounds. I have used Life Form to track food intake and monitor my exercise program. I believe the reason for my success is this program. Thanks for helping me become a healthier person. I recommend this program for anyone interested in keeping track of their overall health."--Mike Almazan

"I just wanted to tell you what a great program Life Form is. I bought the program on 10/17/95... I have used it everyday, to track everything I eat, and to keep track of all of my exercise. I'm 5'7" and when I started using the program I weighed 208lbs. As of today, I am down to 172.5lbs! I haven't felt this good in years! ... Thanks again, I have been waiting for something like this for years."--Mike McWilliams

"I recently purchased a program 'Life Form' from Fitnesoft... I have tried several 'diet' programs in the past only to realize that I would rather be exercising than entering my food intake with their poor entry systems. 'Life Form' is FANTASTIC! It takes no time at all to enter foods due to the search engine. This is truly an excellent piece of software.... This is a GREAT program and I recommend it completely."--John Edwards, VA

"I just wanted to let you know how thrilled I am with this product. I have tried everything on the market and none have been as easy to use as this one. This is the first program that encompasses both diet control and fitness. In the past I have always used 2 separate programs. I also LOVE the way I could keep up with my exercise by monitoring my heart rate. The 'calories burned' value is finally accurate. Also, I have never been able to enter my entire dietary intake in less than 5 minutes! So easy - and the database is great too. My praises could go on for hours..."--Britt Brewton

"I adore Life Form. It has been a life changing experience for me and my husband. I thought I was eating a reasonable diet but then I checked it in Life Form. The results were pretty shocking. My pistachio snack was 1000 calories. I set my calorie goal for 1500 and in 10 days I've lost 5 lbs. Thanks"--Susan French-Lawyer

"It took me a while to save up for it, but I finally got [Life Form] this weekend, and it is wonderful. I especially like the fact that it saves previous meals, so that you don't have to look up foods that you eat all the time. Since I started using it on Sunday, I've dropped over 2 lbs. I believe it's because of the tracking. (I know, I could have tracked with paper and pencil, but this is SO much easier.)"--Patti Devlin

"I'm impressed with the program and the professionalism of the user's manual."--Dr. Arthur Lipski

"Life Form has helped me stay on track with my food plan/exercise program. Point? I've lost 47 lbs."--Kathy Maginnis

"I think Life Form is tremendous! It even has all my favorite foods (low-fat granola, various Chinese entrees, Healthy Choice stuff!) I used to think that the money I spent on Quicken was the best software spending I've ever done, but this just as good."--Quentin Burrows

"Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much I like your program. I am addicted to it (better the program than the food!)"--Tom Dennison

"I would like to thank you for this program. I recently had a heart attack and was ordered to go on a low fat diet. Having no idea how much fat I was consuming and no idea of how to track consumption, I purchased the last copy on the shelf. Life Form has made it possible for me to understand and control my fat intake not only by the basic food in the program but being able to add recipes and then know the fat content. As a heart patient I would recommend Life Form to anyone who needs or desires to control their diet. I am pleased to say my HDL and LDL have drastically improved and I have lost weight without really trying."--Marvin Achtermann

"Thank you very much for a very inspirational tool. Life Form seems to be just the knowledge base/data tracker/what-if tool that works for me."--Andrew Hogan

"I have recently installed my new Life Form application and I have filled out the information portion and the history section from the first of the year. I think it is a great idea, a neat program, and easy to use as well."--Elizabeth Tilton

"I think 'Life Form' rates right up there with products like Quicken. I am a FoxPro programmer and get to evaluate a lot of software products. I can't remember being this impressed with a program ever."--Edwin Weston

"Learning LOTS more about your Life Form program - it's just so COOL. You helped me when I first got started a couple of months ago --- but now I'm really trying to use more of the features and there's MANY!!! Again- my compliments on this program."--Joan Polasky

"I just had to pass a note to you guys to say that this is one beautiful package!...Your demo showed that the app is very intuitive and easy-to-use. It is also super relevant (this is usually the missing ingredient from packages like this). Thanks a lot!"--Bill Gray
