Zusammenfassung:	An integrated system for delivering weight loss guidance and activity tracking in a mobile format. The integrated system includes a weight loss program hosted on a mobile device. The weight loss program includes an energy intake prescription to guide a participant toward a target weight according to a weight loss prediction model that is visually depicted in a first application window. The mobile device can be paired with a weight sensor to provide weight updates at regular intervals. The mobile device can also be paired with a caloric expenditure measuring device, for example a step counter, to display activity levels for comparison with recommended activity goals in a second application window. The weight loss program extends over multiple phases that are structured to help individuals gradually achieve a sustainable weight loss while increasing daily activity levels over the duration of the program.
