We are a group of computer science students at Old Dominion University working on a diet app for Android.

There are people who begin dieting, get early results then stop because either they hit the weight loss plateau, a moment when a person ceases to lose weight, even if they haven't lost as much as they could, or because the fear of change slowly begins to settle in.

We aim to create a small RPG (role-playing game)-style game that attempts to "gamify" the dieting experience for people who are trying to lose weight. The way we're trying to help fight that fear is with an interactive game where the player can make a diet plan for themselves, with assistance from the game, and earn in-game rewards after confirming that they have followed it along with a monthly weight check which earns even more rewards. For those that hit the weight loss plateau, the game will have a variety of diet plans that the user can search through that can help them overcome that barrier.
