A Weight Loss Avatar for Men

Check out our new iPhone app for seeing your weight loss progress in a visual way.

It's based on your BMI calculations so it will look different for men who are the same weight but different heights. We hope it's a fun motivational aid for your weight loss goals.

You can customize your virtual avatar with your current weight, goal weight, heaviest weight and your height. Enter your personal data in pounds or kilograms, inches or centimeters (and quickly convert between them).

You can also customize your skin and hair color as well as the clothing and shoe colors.

The app also records your daily or weekly weight to help you keep track of your weight loss progress. Check out the Virtual Weight Loss Avatar for Men at the iTunes store.






































Update: December 16th, 2011. Our newly updated app just launched. See the new weight loss app here.

Virtual Weight Loss - A new iPhone app

See your weight loss progress in a visual way.

We are introducing a new iphone app to help with people's weight loss goals.




We first developed the virtual weight loss model almost three years ago as a google gadget. Lots of people have been using it and find it fun and motivational. Now we've added a few additional features and have created it as an iPhone app.

You can find it at the iPhone app store under Virtual Weight Loss Model.

You can see your weight loss progress with this virtual model. Customize it with your current weight, goal weight, heaviest weight and your height.

The model is based on body mass index (BMI) calculations. So it will look different for people who are different heights but who weigh the same. If people like it we'll be adding more options, including a male model.

Depending on your preference, you can input your personal data in pounds or kilograms, inches or centimeters.

You can customize your model's skin and hair color, shoe and dress color.

The app also includes a page where you can keep track of your daily weight change.

Virtual Weight Loss Model - Please tell us what you think!

We've added new features to the virtual model and are launching it as an iphone app in the health and fitness category at Apple's app store. We're excited about creating our first app and would love to get some feedback about what you think of the Virtual Weight Loss Model.

Here are some of the nicer reviews for our initial Virtual Weight Loss Model gadget;

It is nice to have a visual goal - of seeing myself get thinner over time! Bonus thanks for such a cool tool!

This basic, blinking figure mirrors your journey to the perfect shape. It is preferable to a emotionless graph.

cute - it's easy to use and a good bit of fun.

Very Cute - This is adorable.

Virtual model -Good timing, I like it - when will have a male version?

So please send us some more (hopefully nice) reviews.
