1. A device for weight management comprising:
a platform;
a weight sensor configured to measure a weight of a user when the user is positioned on the platform; and
a controller configured to provide non-numerical feedback when the user is positioned on the platform, wherein the non-numerical feedback is provided on a display fewer times than the user is positioned on the platform, wherein the non-numerical feedback is customized based on one or more user inputs, wherein the controller is configured to have first, second, and third settings,
wherein in the first setting, the controller is configured to obtain a weight measurement from the user positioned on the platform without providing the weight measurement to the user;
wherein in the second setting, the controller is configured to obtain a weight measurement from the user positioned on the platform and to provide the non-numerical feedback to the user, when the user stands on the platform regardless of the weight measurement;
wherein in the third setting, the controller is configured to obtain a weight measurement from the user positioned on the platform and to provide the non-numerical feedback to the user;
wherein the one or more non-numerical outputs are a visual narrative that progresses through a story each time the user is positioned on the platform independent from measuring the weight; and
wherein the progression of the visual narrative is based on previous engagement with the platform.
