Well there is probably nothing revolutionary about it, I just built it to help with my own weight loss problems and thought maybe other people might like to try it out and see if it works for you too.
There is nothing particularly clever about it, you just set up your limits and if you fail to stick to these limits you most likely will fail to lose any weight and it costs you in actual £££. Stick to your limits and there are no fines and you will most likely see the weight come off.
The site can be used totally free though. You can and are very welcome to use the full system with no limitations, no ads and without any payment. I guess the point is if you do pay the fines then it gives you an extra layer of incentive to stay on track.
I'm also not expecting you to pay money to me, I pay my fines to a school in The Gambia. However there is a support page here so if you do want to pay your fines to me or if you have found the site useful and would like to support its hosting and development then any contributions will be much appreciated along with any feedback. In truth, you don't have to pay your fines at all, nobody is watching you or judging you. If you don't take the fines seriously then you are less likely to get the real benefit out of the system. You can still see what you have eaten and what your fines would have been which can be a useful way to track progress and evaluate what you are doing wrong.
I also offer no promises, this may not work for you even if you stick to your rules and pay your fines. I am not a dietician or any kind of expert on weight loss. Just a lowly programmer trying to make the world a slightly heathier place. You set your own rules, if it is not working you can always adjust your limits.
You can also set up goals for the level of exercise you wish to do and if you need to take medication on a regular basis this system can give you reminders when you are due or if you have missed a dose.
If you would like to register for an account please click here and complete the form. Accounts will be set up manually for the time being but I will likely make it automatic one day. The system is still very much in beta test stage and so I don't want a lot of people using it until I'm happy it is stable and people can understand how to use it. I will offer the support I can but this site is free to use and support is fundamentally not free.
The site can be operated on a computer but is generally expected to be used mostly on a mobile phone. It relies on food eaten being entered when eaten or shortly afterwards and people tend to have their phone with them at all times. It is quite a palava to actually enter everything you eat and drink so be aware, if you like to snack like I do it can take some time log it all.
