Woman Loses 112 Pounds by Using Wii Fit

[rippleyhakd]

OK, now there is no excuse for not being able to shed some poundage..

4,000 calorie diet to...what? I would be willing to be a diet change is more like 90% of the difference here, along with some moderate changes in workout. Someone who weighs 800lbs will lose a ton of weight just in diet chane alone, WITHOUT exercise. The problem is, 95% of the population will read the headline "Wii helps woman lose 112lbs" (Yahoo) and they will believe it. I need to start preying on the intellectually inferior...apparently its working very well...

Wii might have kept her from eating all the time. So the diet became less than her usual. So the weight lost is not necessary Wii. Anything that kept her attention from food could have help loose that weight.

I bet hes huge into porn cause she is still gawd awful ugly.

But losing that much weight is a great achievement, hats off to her.

This is a good add for the great construction of the balance board! 252 pounds of woman jumping on it for a year and still working.

Key here is "swapped her junk food diet for healthier food."

Diet is more important than any workout program. People fail to realize this when they set goals. If you go to the gym to get in shape but your diet is poor, results will also be poor. I highly doubt the exercises a Wii Fit has has the potential to be part of that weight loss without an extreme diet change. Again, Diet...not Wii Fit.

Wii FAT

I'm wondering if the Wii Fit is the only exercise she did. A lot of times with stories like these they leave out the details such as "Every day worked out on Wii Fit at 5AM for 30 minutes... then ran 10 miles."

Regardless of how she did it, good for her. It's much harder to change bad eating habits as an adult than it is to hop on the Wii Fit for an hour a day. She looks great, especially if those are real before and after pictures. Wowza.

If she bought a wii fit cause she was to ashamed to work out at a gym I doubt she ran everyday or did anything public.

Most people called BS on Wii fit, but hear me out:

If you actually take the time to use Wii fit, it works. Most of the programs on it make you do real excercise, like pushups and running in place and stuff. So naturally you lose weight if you do it.

Not losing weight from Wii fit is like not losing weight from the gym... it's probably beacuse you don't go enough, not because of the quality of the equipment.

It's not that the Wii Fit doesn't work. It's that diet is much more of a component to weight loss than working out is. The article's headline makes it look like the Wii fit is responsible without considering diet and lifestyle changes. Losing that much weight doesn't come from "just" a Wii Fit.

I bet if her husband/boyfriend/sperm-donor clobber her with the wii fit, she would easily lose 50 pounds more ;-)

Exercise never made people lose weight. Its all about calorie reduction. Fat people eat more food than their bodies need... one solution. Use more energy than you consume. If you can do that with exercise good luck. Anorexia is a PROVEN DIETING METHOD! Quit eating

 

[qwoz]

This is great and all but I call BS. There is no way she lost that much weight JUST on wii fit. No way in hell

 

[captaincharisma]

wow! i guess she was using the wii fit board with that new robot humping game they were advertising on robot chicken

 

[billyblue22]

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

Have you been to the UK? They don't get sunlight.

Her husband didn't even notice, he was too busy playing WoW.

 

[micky_lund]
