Exercise and Weight Loss
System
Marion Barry
Dissertation Presentation
Reasons for developing this
 Most individuals discontinue exercise within six months of
 starting their initial program (Dishman, 1982, 1994)
 Although people find it difficult to encorporate exercise into
 their daily lives (Dishman, 2001), women have a considerable
 lower level of exercise partisipation (U.S. Department of Health
 and Human Services, 1996)
 Weight loss goals generallly are focused on conforming to
 social pressures(Segar et al., 2007) and not promoting self-
 worth and may result in decrease motivational states (Deci &
 Ryan, 1985; Fredrickson & Roberts, 1997).
 Medical Industry has told us the “we must” and “we should” and
 this has resulted in rebellion. Rebranding health is needed to
 create amazing experiences
Target Audience
Initial Idea
  Was conceived from a personal experience
  Product that would be worn on wrist of person
  Main aim was to aid in short term weight loss
  goal of the individual e.g. for an upcoming
  event
  Features of product
   Record how many steps you taken throughout
   the day
   Measure heart rate to ascertain the level of
   exercise
   Measure sleeping patterns
   All these features combined would calculate
Why I changed my idea?
 Different skillset needed
 Complex Industry
 Very similar product exists in the market, developed by fitbit
New Project Idea:
 Web based motivational
   wight loss network

So what inspired my new
“Anything that promotes intimacy is
         healing”

Bringing people together allows for healing and this can be
done through technology. The need for connection and
community is an unmet need
Future health benefits for thoes starting to change
their lifestyle can seam so far away and unattainable.

External Motivator is needed to lead us on the right
direction and reaffirm us that what we are doing
right.
Framingham Heart Study
 Nicholas A. Christakis, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H., and James H. Fowler
 tried to understand the reason for the obesity epidemic and try
 to assertain if it was contagious or not
 Examined as study by Framingham and examined the results
 from 12,000 obtained over 30 years about who you are, where
 you work, what you do, who are your friends.

 Results
 Social networks play a powerful role in determining an
 individuals change of gaining or loosing weight
 Risk of become obese was highest if a close friend(s) was
 obese.
 It may be more socially acceptable if people close to him or her
 gain weight

Changes to current system
 “We have misbranded health benefits such as exercise. The
 health and weight loss benefits doesnt create desire in people
 to exercise daily. It become like a chore” (To keep moving,
 Look behond the physical”, by Jane Broody, New York Times,
 March 8, 2010)
 “commitment and planning will mediate the relation between
 participants’ goals and their participation” (Segar et al., 2008).
 “social support is one of the most consistent correlates of
 physical activity among women” (Eyler et al., 2002)
 “Physical Activity Participation was lowest among individuals
 with Weight Loss and Health Benefits goals and highest among
 individuals with Sense of Wellbeing and Stress Reduction
 goals. “(Segar et al., 2008)
Changes to current system
 Extrinsic goals(e.g. looking good) : Benefits seen over time
 Intrinsic goals (e.g. wellbeing) : Benefits seen immediately
 Physical activity goals that are associated with greater
 commitment and planning should be more likely to help
 women sustain their participation.
 Among midlife women who participated in a weight reduction
 program, the strongest predictor for long- term weight loss
 was increased intrinsic motivation for exercise (Teixeira et al.,
 2006).
Proposed Changes
Proposed Changes
Proposed Changes
Technology to be Used
 Dreamweaver
 Flash
 Geotracking software
 ELGG
 Drupal
 If used with a mobile phone app, Pin Points, a geolocation
 tracking software developed by Cauwill could be used.
What are the next steps?
  Quantitate and Qualitative Research Methods
  Blogs
  Social Networking Sites


From this I will develop a Prototype and test it on online users of
weight loss websites, first time users and non internet savvy
users. Ideally, 2 prototype iterations phases will take place.

Editor's Notes

  1. Traineo is still my favorite overall weight management application. It looks the best and has the best overall feature set. Last month they rolled out a new platform which includes: better graphing, speed increases when accessing the application, design enhancements and improved navigation. I really like the Traineo motivators program – you select 4 people to help encourage you to keep going.

  6. SparkPeople is the most Web 1.0 of the list of reviewed apps but is also the most popular. They claim over 5 Billion calories burned and over 6 million pounds lost by their members to-date. The site is a bit much for me, but in my travels I’ve heard from many people who use SparkPeople daily. They have a sister site called SparkRecipes which focuses on healthy recipes.
