This pilot study evaluates the use of a mobile application to improve weight loss in obese stroke patients. The investigators hypothesize that acute stroke patients who use the mobile application are more likely to achieve a minimum 5% weight reduction during the critical six months post-stroke, yielding considerable improvement in stroke risk factors.

8. Personal ownership or caregiver ownership of a personal computer, SmartPhone or other SmartDevice (iPhone or Android platform) with Internet access.
9. If patient has alexia, agraphia, acalculia, dementia or blindness - caregiver must be willing to complete the intervention.
