1. A system for facilitating weight control of a user, said system comprising:

  • a hand-held computing device having weight control software executing thereon and having a handheld database with weight control data stored thereon, the weight control data being used by the weight control software during execution thereof;

    a personal computing device;

    a first communications link by which said hand-held computing device and said personal computing device are communicable during a synchronization operation;

    a server having a server database with weight control data stored thereon;

    a second communications link by which said personal computing device and said server are communicable during the synchronization operation;

    wherein during the synchronization operation, weight control data or modifications thereto are transferred in substantially real time between the handheld database and the server database; and

    wherein at least a portion of the weight control data comprises two-way data modifiable by the user both on the handheld database via the hand-held computing device and on the server database via the server, wherein when the two-way data is modified by the user on the handheld database via said hand-held computing device said system automatically makes corresponding modifications to the weight control data stored on the server database during the synchronization operation, and wherein when the two-way data is modified by the user on the server database via said server said system automatically makes corresponding modifications to the weight control data stored on the handheld database during the synchronization operation.
