A Virtual Model for Weight Loss

Submitted by Adriana Rae on Wed, 2006-09-20 14:27.

Here is what I weigh now and what my heaviest weight was. Scroll on the 'start' and 'goal' buttons to see me at my starting and goal weight.

We've created this virtual model for people who are in the process of losing weight and want to show the stats on your web site (or on your own private iGoogle page). It's based on body mass index (BMI) calculations. The model will look different for women who weigh the same but are different heights.

Aside from your personal height and weight, you can customize the dress, hair and skin colors. If people like it, we'll be adding more options, including a male version and more hairstyles, face types and clothing styles.

New Dec. 2007: You can now see your model on your own personalized iGoogle page as well as being able to add it to your website sidebar. Google is hosting the files so it will always load quickly on your site.

Hope you enjoy trying it out!

How to Change the Settings for Your Weight
Submitted by Meg Wilson on Thu, 2008-01-10 11:09.

Some people have written me to say they can't find how to edit the model for their own height and weight.

Once you add this gadget to your iGoogle page, you can change the settings by going up to the top right of the gadget, where you see a little arrow pointing down. Click on this and then click on 'Edit Settings'. This will enable you to customize this model for your own height and weight.

Yes, thanks for the good suggestion, we will definitely do this but it may take a few weeks as we need to make several other changes too...

Really nice virtual model, Do you make the model design by your own hand? Great job, I will try to make a little review about this free service in my Cityslicker Mom blog, under Weight Loss Category, I hope it will help to spread the word about your service. Cheers

It will be nice to have a visual goal - of seeing myself get thinner over time! Bonus thanks for such a cool tool!

Thanks, different hair and complexion colors will be one of the first additions we will make to the customization options. It's just a matter of time!
