A few years ago, when you need help to lose weight, you might have driven over to a local diet support group, stepped on a scale and left with a dieting program. Now, all you have to do is find your smartphone.

mhealth appsReputable brick-and-mortar weight-loss companies that have been around for decades are reporting drops in walk-in traffic. But mobile apps that help you keep track of your fitness and dieting activities are booming. Even Weight Watchers has joined the “mobile bandwagon” with a slew of apps dedicated to health and better eating!

These dedicated mobile apps are not only effective, they seem to be turning into the standard for those looking to get healthy and stay fit.
