Woman Loses 112 Pounds by Using Wii Fit

[JMcEntegart]

When Wii Fit first launched, a lot of people rushed out to buy it thinking that it would solve all their fitness problems. Unfortunately, for a lot of people, the Nintendo Wii peripheral didn't change a thing.

Good for her! I'd try that too but don't have a wii. Maybe I should use the treadmill thats been collecting dust

 

[kavic]

Wow if those are real before and after pics then she did good. But what many people fail to do is also cut back on eating when your trying to lose weight. If all you do is eat and then work out a little you wont get much out other than burning off a little bit of what you just ate.

 

[chaosgs]

I smell another Jared.

 

[amd_guru]

In reality it probably is 85% just eating healthier...gj tho!

 

[Guest]

the weight loss is still 90% due to her change of foods, rather than the Wii fit

people have a misconception of what the major factor is in getting fit

 

[pbrigido]

Good for her, but it wasn't only the Wii Fit that helped. Half of the battle is changing the diet, which she did.

Weight loss is a simple equation. Calories in vs calories out. Wii fit helped with calories out, and her change of diet helped with calories in.

 

[tenor77]

wow, though something tells me the WiiFit was not the catalyst for this, only a variable.

Still big upgrade for the husband. Unless he's a chubby chaser

 

[itrendslave]

Nintendo should jump on that. Advertise during "The Biggest Loser" and such. Another Jared Fogel-type hype that could sell even more Wii Fits, eh? Maybe too many people have already purchased them and realized that it doesn't inherently make you lose weight by owning it... you actually have to use it?! We'll see... we'll see.

 

[lilwillis]

I bet the husband has a big grin on his face now.

 

[brother shrike]

Good for her, but I'm sure that the healthier diet had a LOT more to do with it than the Wii did.

 

[Foxer57]

She needs to get out more. Look how white her skin is!

Wii fit supplemented by crack = weight loss

Probably 95%. I lost 24 pounds in 2 months (from 214 to 190 pounds) just by eating less and better food. No more exercise than before. I was surprised.

 

[greeve]

Yes, exercise is very healthy for you, but it doesnt necessarily lead to weight loss. The type and quantity of food you eat will have a much greater impact.

 

[pochacco007]

losing weight isn't only by eating healthy. it's also by exercising.

 

[JohnnyLucky]

A combination of eating healthy and exercise definitely results in mutiple benefits. It's not just about weight loss.

 

[stratplaya]

Good for her! I'm loving my Wii which my wife gave me for this past Christmas. I'm especially stuck on tennis and it's quite a workout. I'll be getting Wii Fit in the next couple of months.

 

[davendork]

She went from "No, Thanks." to "Yes, Please!".

 

[lamorpa]

Now, all she has to get is the Wii hair bleaching kit and eye makeup remover.
