Likely you'll want a database, for usernames, dates, weights. Since it's 
so simple, using sqlite (which doesn't have a running database engine) is 
a wise choice. There's a python module to help interface. 

Also you might visit the django website. This sort of project could use a 
web frontend, since your likely want users to have access to their plots, 
so logins are required; 

Remote access (via web) sounds reasonable too. During those early days of 
shaping up, well, no one else need see my progress.

Remember the old adage KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid)
