Mobile Computing Weight, Diet, Nutrition, and Exercise Management System With Enhanced Feedback and Goal Achieving Functionality

A method of operating a mobile weight and exercise tracking computing system for enhancing user goal achievement comprising:

• storing, in a first set of storage locations, health information about a user including a user's food and exercise data during a first time window and a first intermediate weight loss-related goal for said first time window covering a first period of time;
• storing, in a second set of storage locations, a user's food and exercise data during a second time window and a second intermediate weight loss-related goal covering a second period of time subsequent to said first period of time;
• storing, in a third set of storage locations, a third weight loss-related loss goal;
• acquiring data indicative of food expected to be consumed by said user during said first time window;
• generating data indicative of the calories consumed by said user as a result of eating said food, and storing said data indicative of calories consumed in said first set of storage locations;
• acquiring data indicative of exercises performed by said user during said first time window;
• determining the calories burned by said user as a result of performing said exercises during said first time window and storing said calories burned in said first set of storage locations;
• prompting the user to enter a current weight at the end of the first time window;
• and
• determining if at least one of said first intermediate weight loss-related goal, said second intermediate weight loss-related goal, or said third weight loss-related goal has been met.

A method of operating a mobile weight and exercise tracking computing system for enhancing user goal achievement comprising:

• storing, in at least one storage system, health information about a user including multiple weight loss-related goals;
• acquiring data indicative of a first food in response to said user identifying a first food expected to be consumed by said user;
• associating a digital value indicative of a health-related color code rating of said first food using multiple colors to distinguish between multiple categories of foods, including a very healthy food category covering foods having a very high nutrient-related rating and a good food category covering foods with a good nutrient-related rating but which are rated lower than the very healthy foods with a very high nutrient-related rating;
• determining whether said first food expected to be consumed by the user has an associated color code from a category other than said very healthy food category;
• recommending to said user at least one food associated with a color code in a healthier color code category than said first food, if said determining step indicates that said first food has an associated color code that is not as high as said very healthy food category;
• acquiring data indicative of a first exercise in response to said user identifying a first exercise expected to be performed by said user;
• determining the calories expected to be burned by said user during said first exercise;
• determining if at least one of said multiple weight loss-related goals has been met;
• and
• displaying to said user information about calories expected to be consumed, or calories expected to be burned, and at least one color code.
