MyPersonalDiet for Windows Mobile Smartphone User’s Guide 35
You can chose the period of the chart being shown by tapping the Period button . You
can choose one of the predefined periods (e.g. “Today”, “This week”, “Last week”, etc.)
or choose your own period by choosing “Other”. You will then be prompted to enter the
start and end dates.
Some charts display a dotted horizontal line that represents the average (see section 8.3).
The average is based on all the values used for calculating the charts and not on the
bars/lines/dots being displayed (which only use values for a specific date range).
5.5 Getting Results
You can get immediate results of your efforts by choosing Menu > Journal > Diet >
Results button in the Day view. This shows the Results window (see Figure 29),
which is composed of four areas:
1. As of Today shows where your weight is vs. your goal. You will immediately
know if your weight is where it should be or not.
2. About Eating shows how many calories (or kilojoules) you need to lose (or gain)
to reach you goal, and how much on average you lost (or gained) since the start of
your diet.
3. About Exercising calculates how often you exercise and for how long, and lets
you know if that’s enough or not.
4. What To Do shows recommendations to reach your goals, based on your actual
weight and your eating and exercising habits, such as “consider eating less, or
“consider eating more”, etc.
Note: these recommendations are only that: recommendations. Use your own judgment
to determine if they are suitable for your condition or not. You may also want to seek the
help of a health professional to help your reach your goals.
