Pound Blocker

Pound Blocker is an app designed to assist people on their weight loss journey. Like most of the applications proposed in class, there were a few kinks in their design and idea, which only makes sense since we are definitely not professionals. However, the idea of Pound Blocker has a lot of potential to help people change their lives.  Being a user of several different calorie-counting, exercise applications, I find this particular idea very promising because it goes beyond simple suggestions to custom-designed weight loss plans. The way they hoped to create an app that used your BMI, age, height, weight to make an exercise and meal plan to help you lose weight is ingenious. Many people struggle to lose weight because they don't know where to start or how to go about this difficult process. Their app could eliminate some of those frustrations people deal with. However, the Insanity workout idea was not thought through all the way. They suggested using those simulation-like goggles to make the workout come to life. The main issue with this idea was pricing and exactly who would be paying for all of their ideas. Sponsors are much more difficult to attain than most people believe, which might prevent several of their hopes for this application to become a reality.
