Abstract

Using a handwritten journal to track meals, exercise, and weight is a common practice in the dieting and exercise industry. However, one major problem with using these journals is that they do not simplify the laborious process of calculating the nutritional content of a meal. In addition, the journals are difficult to share with other people, especially asynchronously. The "My Health, My Life" web application helps users reach their goals by simplifying the data entry process, while also connecting the user with professionals and people who have similar interests and goals.
