John Crowley Cal Pal and exercise has literally made me a new person. ...my weight has dropped 45 lbs!
Rita Nelson I Love my Cal Pal! I wish I had this ten
years ago, it makes counting calories so easy!! So far I've lost 11 pounds
and I'm thrilled. 
Steve Morrow I've tried to track calories online before
and it never worked. With Cal Pal I've got everything I need right in
my pocket. 
Beth Gilbert Finally something that works!! Cal Pal has
helped me lose over 15 pounds because it just makes sense.
John Crowley, Cal Pal user
I'm writing this to thank you for introducing me to the CalPal. It really
works for me.
In mid-January, 2009,
I began using the CalPal to track my calorie intake. In February, I began
aerobic and strength exercises at the local recreation center. The combination
of CalPal and exercise has literally made me a new person. As of today (May
19, 2009), my weight has dropped 45 lbs. (from 265 lbs. to 220 lbs.) in
4-1/2 months; my pant waist size is down from 44 to 36; my shirt size had
dropped from 2XL to Large – collar size from 17.5 in. to 15.5 in.; suit
jacket from 46 to 42; shoe size from 13EEE to 13E.
But, more importantly, I feel healthier, sleep better, have more energy,
look younger and I am able to control my weight. And, I am not done yet…20
pounds to go…I should get there by the 4th of July.
I am 64 years old and have been treated for cardiomyopathy (heart failure)
and atrial fibulation (irregular heart beat) for 5 years. Despite having
these issues under control by meds, in November 2009 my cardiologist warned
me to lose some weight and start exercising or else I could have even more
serious health problems in a couple of years.
It was my wake-up call;
I could do this…I had lost 40 to 50 lbs. 4 or 5 times since I was 40. But
this time, I couldn’t seem to stick with it, losing about 8 lbs before Christmas
and gaining it back by New Years Day. Last week, I saw my cardiologist for
a 6 month follow-up and he couldn’t believe what a change I had made…”I
tell my patients to lose weight and exercise all the time, but most of them
ignore my advice.” He wanted to know how I did it, so I not only told him
about the CalPal, but I gave him one along with your book, “24 Hours to
Burn!” and a Calorie Guide.
The reason CalPal works for me is the KISS principle – it’s simple. No hard
to follow diets; no analyzing/balancing/trading carbs, protein, fats, cholesterol,
etc.; don’t misunderstand me, I try to eat nutritious foods and avoid “junk”,
but my focus is only on limiting and burning calories – BACK TO BASICS!
I keep CalPal in my pocket and the Calorie Guide in my car so I am prepared
to make the right food choices and instantly adjust my calories throughout
the day whether exercising or eating fast food. When I plateau or gain weight,
it is because I haven’t used my CalPal for a few days – so I put in back
in my pocket and I am instantly back on track.
Thanks for helping me to improve the quality of my life. This one little
device has made a huge difference to me.

I truly believe that cal-pal proved to be the missing piece of my
frustrating diet and exercise puzzle. "How could I be working out and
eating right and not be reaching my fitness goals?" I often asked
myself. Once I started using cal-pal, everything came together for me
and I started losing the excess pounds I was having difficulty shedding.
Cal-pal kept me on track, and I quickly learned that too much of any
food (even if it's healthy) will hinder one's progress! Cal-pal is so easy
to use and practical, I highly recommend it!

Thank you, I received the package and have just finished your book, what
an eye opener. I actually thought to myself as I was reading this was something
that I always knew but never embraced. I definitely feel totally in control
of my weight now. I need to edit my my revies again on Amazon, thank you
for the books.

"Studies show that tracking calories may help you lose weight up to
two times faster than dieting alone. I recommend Cal Pal because I think it's
the best calorie tracking tool."
"It definitely does what it professes to do, makes it very easy once set up correctly, to fairly effortlessly track your caloric daily intake. I'm having a much easier time now controlling my Caloric instake although it does take a bit of discipline." - Brian C. Johnson
"This little gadget makes it so easy to keep your calories. I never could remember to log into the website at home or pull the book out to write it down but now I just have this with me all the time. It is small but beware because it does make reality sink in on just how many calories you are eating. Like I would sit down and eat a bunch of strawberries healthy right? Well 2 strawberries are 50 calories and that brings your calories down quick!! I have done great with this little device. You take the calories off that you eat and you can add on the ones that you burn exercising so it is easy to see how many you have left at the end of the day." - B. Cowan
"Love it!!!!!!!! Have been using the calpal for over 2 weeks. Absolutely love it!! Keeps me on track throughout the day. Highly recommend this product." - Wendy E. Hinch
"Huge impact on my life! I've had the CalPal for just over a month and I don't know how I lived without it. This handy little device goes with me everywhere. It's a constant reminder that I need to think about my calorie intake. Through the use of the Cal Pal and regular exercise I've been able to shed a few pounds and I look forward to shedding more! I never thought that such a simple device would have such a huge impact on my life. Cal Pal has empowered me to finally take control of my weight. Thanks!" - B. McCarrie
"Life-Changer! This simple device completely changed my life. I have
already lost 10 pounds and it was easy....and fun! I enjoyed keeping track
of my numbers each day, KNOWING I was losing weight. I have been on diets
before where I would work at it and not really know how I was doing. This
tells me my result every day!
And, just the fact that it makes me stop and think about what I was eating before I did, makes maintaining my new weight-loss easy!
I am so glad I found Cal Pal. I recommend it to anyone trying to lose weight."
- Megan
"I love it! Works wonderfully well for tracking calories in and out." - GGma
"Easy to use, and very motivating little device. I bought my Cal Pal about a month ago, and I've already lost 19 pounds! I've never been able to cut back on calories, but the Cal Pal made it so easy to keep track of what I ate that it served as a constant reminder. It takes about 2 minutes to set up the first time you use it, and about 2 seconds to reset each morning." - J. Laclare "JL"
"24 Hour Burn...... what a extremely well written book. It was an
absolute easy read with the most useful tips and concepts that I have ever
learned over all the years of dieting.
The Cal Pal, not sure how I ever lived without it. I have just started my
6th week with the Cal Pal and I have lost 5lbs. A pound a week! The most
amazing part about it is that I am eating whatever I want as long as I account
for it and go to bed with a calorie deficit. The concept that Wade teaches
in his book is so simple but one I never knew how to calculate on my own.
The Cal Pal makes it so easy! I love when I can add to my calorie deficit
by inputting the calories I burn during exercise. What an eye opener of
what you CAN"T eat on the days that you do not workout! Thanks Cal Pal for
making looking good and feeling good so simple!" - Val L., Allentown,

I do want to let you know that I have lost weight using this device! I have used MyFoodDiary for years and still do - I keep track of everything I eat. But the Cal Pal gave me a new outlook on the calories vs workouts. It's like a game, trying to hit the number of calories that are deficit. I lost the first day, as promised, and have gone down 3 pounds since starting. I'm so excited to have it with me on our trip -- I always lose count when I'm on trips. It's hard to get to a computer to use an online calorie counter when I'm in another country. I'll have Cal Pal with me to keep my eating under control and to make sure I burn calories even when I can't work out.

I had previously been counting calories off and on with the help of a few
calorie counting websites. This was difficult to stick with because if I
was away from my home it was impossible to really have the discipline to
keep track. I'd advise those to go and purchase the Calorie King book also.
The book included with the calpal has very little info data on calories
in food. With this Calpal and the pocket sized Calorie King book I"m
always prepared. Both are very small and discrete and it doesn't have to
be a show that you are watching your food intake. I went to visit family
for a week and was never approached or even noticed on my calorie counting.
Yes I was quiet on this and did not enter in my numbers unless alone - but
I was so impressed that I was able to "vacation" and yet stay
on track. Definitely a good choice. Plus on a added note I accidentally
washed my Calpal for 10 minutes in the washer. Freaked out when the screen
was blank but I followed the advice from a geek website in using Rubbing
alcohol to displace the water and it worked! So be sure to look up this
information just in case you accidently submerge yours in water.

I am a gym rat and work out at least five days per week, but my biggest
hang-up is my diet, or lack thereof. With the Calpal calorie counter, now
I can control the amount of calories I consume. I never realized how many
calories are in fast food. I recommend this product to everyone.
W. Hinch
Have been using the calpal for over 2 weeks. Absolutely love it!! Keeps
me on track throughout the day. Only drawback is that it needs a leash similar
to that of a pedometer so I can keep it on my waistband throughout the day.
Highly recommend this product.

I had NO idea how many calories I was eating every day!!! This little gadget
is GREAT and the book is a fabulous tool. I have kept on track with my diet
and exercise, and have already begun losing weight in just one week!!! I
would recommend this product to everyone.

I have 4 kids under the age of 4 and have no time to be keeping track of
my calories. With the CalPal, I just stick it in my pocket and type in what
I need every time I eat something. It's so convenient. The instructions
are really easy to follow. It's keeping me aware of what I'm eating and
helping me take those extra pregnancy pounds off!
G. Johnson, Ashland, KY
Excellent calorie tracker. Easy to use and the size is great for pocket
or purse. Now, if I'd just USE it!
