Abstract:
1. A mobile weight and exercise management computing system comprising: at least one input device for inputting a food identifying signal indicating a food in response to a user identifying a food and for inputting an exercise identifying signal indicating an exercise in response to a user identifying an exercise; a GPS receiver; a storage system for storing health-related information about said user including data identifying the user's weight and a health-related goal including a weight loss or weight gain goal; a processing subsystem operatively coupled to said at least one input device, said GPS receiver, and to said storage system, and including: said storage system including: a first set of memory locations for storing data identifying a plurality of foods expected to be consumed by said user, wherein each of said foods is associated with a unique food identifying signal, and for storing a plurality of descriptors associated with at least one of said foods, wherein said plurality of descriptors includes the quantity of each food, and a flavoring add-on associated with at least one of said foods, said first set of memory locations further operable to store data relating to the calories expected to be consumed by said user for each food, and a second set of memory locations for storing data identifying a plurality of exercises expected to be performed by said user and for storing a plurality of descriptors associated with at least one of said exercises, wherein said plurality of descriptors includes the duration of each exercise, said second set of memory locations further storing data related to the user's location during at least one exercise based upon data received from said GPS receiver, said second set of memory locations further operable to store data relating to the calories expected to be burned by said user during each exercise; said processing subsystem being configured to request the user to specify said flavoring add-on associated with at least one of said foods; said processing subsystem further being configured to request the user to specify said plurality of exercises together with at least one descriptor associated with each of said exercises; said processing subsystem being further configured to use said location data from said GPS receiver to generate data indicative of distance traveled during at least one exercise; said processing subsystem being further configured to access said storage system and to determine if said health-related goal including a weight loss goal has been met by said user based upon data from said food monitoring subsystem identifying calories consumed by said user and data from said exercise monitoring subsystem identifying calories burned by said user; and an output generation subsystem, operatively coupled to said processing subsystem, for providing feedback to the user relating to progress towards achievement of said health-related goal including said weight loss goal.
