VisualSlim

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffAugust 24, 2004This application charts weight, weight changes, and intake and exercise behaviors but offers little help in winning the battle of the bulge. Enter your name, birth date, height, and target weight to get started with VisualSlim. Record each day's weight in either pounds or kilograms and use a slider to select that day's nutrition, activity, and medication levels. The application uses that information to calculate your body mass index and predict your future weight. VisualSlim is easy to comprehend, with a clean interface, although the sliders are not intuitive. The simple line charts of weight, weight changes, and behaviors over time are visually uninspiring. Weight-conscious users looking for hints on improving diet and exercise won't find help here, but those simply wanting to track their progress will find motivation in VisualSlim's 30-day trial.
