Inspiration
This project was inspired by https://www.dietbet.com/. Instead of pitting people against each other to lose weight, we wanted to develop a system that would use positive reinforcement.
What it does
- Partners are rewarded only if both reach their weight goals.
- If either person reaches a weight checkpoint, it multiplies the total coins they get if they will get in the end.
How we built it
Front End: HTML5, CSS3, Sass, Bootstrap, Javascript, React, Semantics UI, Reactstrap Back End: Python 3.7, Flask, MongoDB

What's next for Weight Buddies
- In the future, we can implement a coaching system where well performing users can act as coaches and gain coins through helping partners reach their goal.
- In the future, we will implement a verification system with the coach for submitting weight variables.
