Weight loss phone apps – free for your use

I think for many of us losing weight is on the top of our things to do on the list. In our tech era there are weight loss phone apps available.

Your phone will help you to lose weight. Sounds weird, right?

Today I will share with you some free apps which will help in your weight loss journey, without paying gym subscriptions and a nutritionist.

You set an objective (to become vegetarian, or to take 3 meals a day), and record what you eat.
