Any interest in a weight loss RPG app?

I've been staring at a lot of spreadsheets lately. I've also been working on a career switch to software developer, a bit unfocused and I decided the best way to proceed is to build a site or app to showcase on my portfolio.

Simple calorie and weigh tracking with a few stats is a bit too simple and feels like just a specialized spreadsheet, so I was thinking of turning it into an RPG. You enter your weight and goal, and pick a base character design. You enter weigh-ins, and optionally calories and exercise to level up. Not sure how all the mechanics would work, maybe currency is automatically earned just by losing weight that you can use to buy cosmetic gear for your character and then you can watch animations of it fighting enemies. Maybe I can put an actual game in where you lose weight to level up, gain power, and then fight increasingly powerful enemies to collect gear.

It would be a lot of work though, would it be worth the effort?
