Visual Motivation for Weight Loss

For any of you who have an iPhone, iPad or iTouch, check out these new updated apps on 'virtual weight loss'. They are a great way to track your weight loss progress and help inspire and motivate.

There is a male version and a female version. You can see your weight loss progress with a virtual model of your heaviest weight, your current weight and your ideal, goal weight (based on your height).

A Motivational Weight Loss Story Video

Ryan lost 135 pounds in 13 months with diet and exercise. He went from 308 pounds to 173.

Someone had told him he could change a habit in 21 days. Within 21 days he had lost 18 pounds. This motivated him to keep going. Within five months he lost 100 pounds. He gets up at 4:45am each morning to exercise. See his very motivational video here.
Check out his story at his website Ryan in Boise.

Let's Move Videos

First Lady Michelle Obama has started a nationwide campaign against childhood obesity. One out of every three American kids is either overweight or obese.

Here is one of the several motivational videos you will find at the offical Let's Move website.

Weight Loss for Men - Visualize It

If you have an iPhone or iTouch and are a male who wants to lose weight, check out this Virtual Weight Loss Avatar for men. It's fun to get visual milestones for each few pounds you lose.

As with the similar app for women 'Virtual Weight Loss for Women', this app is based on BMI calculations so it will look different for men who weigh the same but are different heights.

Update: December 16th 2011: We've updated the app and artwork! Check out the latest versions here.
