1. A system for managing health and fitness of an individual, the system comprising:
a weight measurement scale comprising:
a microprocessor in signal communication with a digital memory device, the microprocessor operating in accordance with a weight collection and processing instruction set, and
a weight measuring element in signal communication with the microprocessor; and
a monitoring system for monitoring a health and fitness of the individual, the monitoring system comprising:
a microprocessor in signal communication with a digital memory device, the microprocessor operating in accordance with a health and fitness instruction set,
a user input device in signal communication with the microprocessor, and
a display in signal communication with the microprocessor;
wherein the system operates as follows:
having the individual stand upon the weight measurement scale to provide an actual weight value to the weight measurement scale;
acquiring the actual weight value of the individual standing upon the weight measurement scale;
converting the actual weight value obtained by the weight measurement scale into a format that does not disclose the actual weight value to the weighed individual; providing the monitoring system with the output from the weight measurement scale; providing feedback from the provided weight measurement scale to an application viewable by a third party, wherein the feedback include weight management rules based upon a profile of the individual and a history of the measured weights of the individual exclusive of the individual knowing at least one of the individual's weight and a trend of the individual's weight.
