Abstract

Lose It! is a web-based, food and exercise diary application, assisting its users in weight control. It is part of a growing form of information technology developed to transform self-care through influencing individual care behaviors and impacting on lifestyle changes. Future implications for the development of such electronic tools require research into the connection of key variables dictated by the relevant theoretical body of knowledge and the translation of such knowledge to practice.
