About 6 months ago I gave my dad my old iPod Touch 1st gen and he immediately fell in love with it. I helped him figure out how to download the LoseIt! app that helps you monitor what you're eating and how much you weigh thinking that it would just be another waste of time diet. He called me tonight to tell me that he has now lost 42 lbs and is at his optimal weight for the first time in years!

My dad has been more active going for hikes and geocaching and has been eating healthier since he started using the app. I just wanted to share this life changing experience the iPod Touch has offered.
 
hey, say congrats to your dad for me. but it wasnt the ipod, it was him.

gadgets are just tools that one can use towards being productive. Your father used it effectively, and all the props go to him.
