The data and program is then stored in a host computer and a relevant portions are transferred to a weight measuring and feedback unit including a scale and a processing unit having audio and/or visual and/or tactile output devices for patient feedback, which is taken to the patient's home. The patient then weighs himself/herself on a periodic basis and the apparatus issues recommendations or other messages for improved compliance.
