Lift is a mobile app that consolidates your goals, reminds you to reach them, and shares your successes with friends. The application is simple and easy to use, which makes adoption of the app quick and efficient. Getting simple reminders – stretch for 5 minutes at 3PM or clean the house for 15 minutes twice a week – works surprisingly well. For those looking to form some healthy habits, this is an easy way to get started.
Hi Alexis,
I wrote an article on Forbes Blog that reviews a number of wellness apps:

I also maintain an index of them here: wellnessdex.com

Adam — thanks for the note and for introducing your wellness app index.
Great Forbes article — I would never fool myself into thinking that ketchup is a vegetable, it is a fruit, right?
Only the USDA thinks ketchup is a vegetable:

(The government wanted to make unhealthy items count as healthy for the purposes of the school lunch program. My point is that it is important to not imagine something like granola is healthful when it is clearly not.)
While tomatoes are a fruit, ketchup is… ketchup.
Adam, nice article. How do we make it into your next article or into the Wellnessdex?
Wonderful work! This is the type of info that should be shared around the net.
Disgrace on the search engines for not positioning this submit upper!
Come on over and discuss with my web site . Thanks =)
