On building it quickly:

* Use a tiny framework like Flask that will let you get up and running quickly. It's a two-page site -- you don't need Django/Rails.

* Pare down the features to the bare minimum: no signups, accounts, etc. You put in your numbers, get sent to lineardiet.com/diet/abc123/ and have to bookmark that if you want to get back to it..

* Use an simple data model like: ID -> {start_date, end_date, start_weight, end_weight}.

* Render graphs in-browser with Raphael.
