Inspiration

We have often had trouble achieving our goals. We didn't know how to start, it all seemed so complex, and in the end, we just gave up. We wanted to help people achieve their goals, even if they were specific, like fitness for senior citizens. So, we decided to create a planner to give senior citizens a reality check on their health, and start them on the path to a long, healthy life.

What it does

This planner helps you create a weekly list of what you will eat and how you will exercise. There are also suggestions for meals and exercise plans, so that it's as easy as possible to get started.

How we built it

We built it using python and tkinter.

Challenges we ran into

We had to find a way to store the data on disk. We tried using CSV files, JSON files, but eventually settled on pickle. We also had to re-build the project from the ground-up to support a GUI instead of a regular CLI.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to create a minimalistic design with reasonably good formatting that looks clean and is easy to use.

What we learned

We learned how to program using GUI's and store data on disk to be retrieve later once the program re-starts.

What's next for The FitBit

We plan on adding links to explanations / recipes for the suggestions. This would make it even easier to get started. We also want to tweak the UI so that the formatting is more uniform.
