NU 6 # 1 from Arlene A.Panganiban -weight loss motivation

Hi Prof ,

This is my NU 6 regarding  a mobile application to lose weight with a picture that will show in advance the slimmer face and body ahead of time.

It has been a struggle to lose weight and still with so many advancement in plastic surgery, medications, exercise modalities and fad diets, the world continues to have problems with weight loss and its medical implications like diseases that originates from being obese. We all know that the conservative way is the safest way to lose weight.

I have been overweight since childhood and so my children have difficulty with their weight. Some of the newer mobiles like IPhone, or iPad have this feature that can convert calories from the common food and especially those normally found from the fast food section. It has exercise program too that follow up progress and compliance.  The problem with it is, it can only be adapted in US. I think the program also needs some incentives or encouragement along the way to help people to get inspired. I thought of something that might be able to get the people persevere to continue even after cheating.

This is the application that includes the face and body picture of the person trying to lose weight (of course to be uploaded by the person himself) constantly being flushed  <flashed>on her /his mobile phone. It should include also the picture of the closest weight loss goal input. It should be able to show the picture even before the actual weight loss happens and can be shown side by side with the actual picture of the current weight at the moment. The program should have the ability to show a new picture showing the future weight loss and how many weeks it can happen if he continues in the present program.

When the weight loss goal happens, then the new face/body picture can be uploaded again, and a future thinner picture will flush <flash> again side by side with the present picture to encourage the person to continue with the program until he finally attain his ideal weight 3

 Thank you,

Arlene
