This software is designed to be used in conjunction with a healthy diet.

Using this software will give your computer control over when you are able to have a snack!

  • Workout routines (Possible if people want it!)
- The software will ask you what type of workout you want to do (Cardio, Upper Body etc...) and then select a routine for you

I am open to other ideas. (The next version is already being worked on with lots of new features, so get your ideas in now!)

Well...after much thought and deliberation as to whether I should continue development on this project, I have decided that it is, indeed worth the effort.

Soooo... v1.0.0.1 is almost ready, and includes more of the features that mouser has requested.  This version will also contain an auto-updater, so will require an install instead of simply clicking the .exe file to run it.

If people would also like, I could continue with the simple "Click and Run" as well as the installation version, but of course, the "click and run" will not have an auto-updater so will require people keep track on the versions to make sure they are running the latest one, and not an old one that could be buggy.

-Stephen

Stephen, the download link (http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=24918.0;attach=53976) doesnt work ( -not that I need to reduce my weight- the opposite in fact :-[ but thought I'd have a look)

Ah, I see now - it's attached to the post - maybe you could correct or remove the other link too though? (Thanks!)
Tom
