Lose It Emily!

Love this! Do it!

So on the challenge on the precious post I have been so good! I did achieve the challenge! I have been pretty dang good compared to how was I was!  I love this picture below- Its absolutely disgusting to think about:

ewwwwww

you gotta check this app-and become my "FRIEND"  My username is emilyempey5

Well back in October I received an email that said this:

 Hi Emily,
 I was reading your blog today and wonder you could give me an opinion on a diet/fitness app I'm making right now?
For me, I think the problem with being healthy is motivation. It's an abstract, overwhelming goal. I think the best way to counter this is to have concrete, winnable games and small victories.
 So, this app will makes living healthy, and fitness into a RPG game, where users earn points, and "level up' as they achieve their goals. Everytime they eat something healthy like vegetables, they earn points. Everytime they complete a workout, they earn points. Each level will present different challenges. The challenges will follow a certain structure. First will come changing your environment such as getting rid of junk food. Then, reducing stress, as stress leads to eating comfort food. Then concrete goals like keeping track of everything you eat, or taking the stairs for a week. Small, concrete goals rather than abstract ones like be healthy or exercise more.
 The whole point is to create a holistic framework/game so people will rely
 less on willpower, and more on fun, achievement, and changing our environment.
 What's your opinion on this idea? Would you want to know when I'm done
 with it? If this sounds too silly, or absurd, just ignore what I just said,
 hehe 
 Best, Christine






I was so excited to get this and Thank you Christine for emailing me! I received an email last week that it is finished and I have checked it out! There are only two things I would want to change and that is: I would allow people to have their own pictures under the score leader board... and I would also find a way to scan foods in! I have had pretty good luck finding exactly what I needed- but some things I wished I had the barcode to scan! Anyway check the app and let me know what you think! Send me a friend request!

Now if you don't have the app - you can still access it - HERE * SLIM KICKER
