When it comes to setting our weight loss goals, it can be motivating to visualize where we’d like to see ourselves – either by collecting images of our ideal form or setting milestones for body fat percentage or weight. Visualizing our ideal body is a great way to boost our commitment to fitness and nutrition, but comparing ourselves to photoshopped images and obsessing over the scale can often lead to unreasonable expectations.
Visualizing Weight Loss
Finding the motivation to start and continue on a fitness plan is more than half the battle, according to Dee Barker of Better Body Image. Whether we allow ourselves to get stuck in unrealistic goals, or we lose the motivation because we’re unable to continue to see our potential, staying on track with our fitness and nutritional plan can be a constant struggle for most people.
What if we could create an accurate depiction of just how our hard work in the gym would look on our own bodies? The Better Body Image app strives to do just that!
Realistic Goals for Better Body Image
Using 15 years of data on how our bodies change, the Better Body Image app allows users to take full body pictures using their smartphone and create an accurate depiction of how their shape will change over time. In addition to generating images of what physical changes might look like, the BBI app also stores body measurements and makes recommendations if weight-to-height ratios indicate that a user might be at risk for conditions like diabetes or heart disease.
This patent-pending technology is accessible via free download in the Apple and Google Play app stores and is best coupled with a customized fitness program.
Sustainable Results
Would you be more committed to your diet and exercise plan if you could see your future body looking back at you from your smartphone screen? For most people on a weight loss and fitness journey, this kind of motivation is exactly what they need to stay moving toward their goals. Dee and her team at Better Body Image have long-term plans to incorporate their technology into a variety of different sources–partnering with corporate health companies, health insurances, hospitals and healthcare systems, and those in the fitness coaching industry.
