Just thought i would share this story with you guys. (This is not about sympathy, or anything, good or bad, I just wanted to share)
I know this is a thread which I will probably get laughed at, or called names. But I was over 336 pounds, I had huge medical problems, including acid reflux, and heart burn, and other frustrating problems.
I tried multiple diets but neither seemed to work.
I went to my friends house one day and noticed she was using a wii-fit, I laughed it off saying it's dumb of course, but she told me to give a try (i assumed i would snap the thing in half).
Crazy part is?, It maybe saved my life. I lost a total of roughly 90/100ish pounds using it, mostly from the addicting mini games it had.
For people who are having trouble getting the motivation to lose weight, I understand the pain.
half the battle is literally just the mental part, being able to tell yourself it's time, Wii fit did this for me, maybe something else will be your spring board.
If you want any advice from a guy who got through the hurdle, all I can say is don't rush, go at it 1 week at a time, the first time you weight in, you will have all the motivation right there.
i weight about 240ish now, and most of my medical problems are behind me, except a screwed up back from gaming to much. lol
I really hope the WII-U comes out with something similar, because it was a fantastic product, and deserves a little bit of praise.
Routine for those asking (roughly).
1 month - 15 min sessions
3 months - 20 min sessions
6 months - 30 min sessions
1 year - 40 min sessions.
4 days a week.
Started: 6000 calories
Lost about 500/1000 calories every few months, at about 2000 calories now.
What did I eat?: Nothing crazy, no fast food, but I still went to subway weekly, and sushi place.
It's about eating 5 meals a day instead of 3 huge meals.
* BY REQUEST *
This is a bit embarrassing, but Might as well show you my "motivation" video I made.
Figured it's better then a picture.

Articles by request.Hey everybody,
First I would like to say is I really appreciate all the kind comments people have made, This changed my life and I hope I can motivate at least one person to do the same.
I did not expect this overwhelming response and I am truly grateful.
If anybody here wants to lose weight and needs any helps, or tips, or motivation, just send me a PM on neogaf and Ill gladly do my best to help out.
The wii-fit was a great exercising tool, and was a great motivation tool for me, but remember maybe its going to be something different for yourself, maybe its sonys, maybe its a family member you wanna help out, or maybe you wanna impress a girl, all are good reasons and you need to find your motivation.
Eating unhealthy and being in a stuck pattern was very hard, but I belive if you put your mind to it, you can achieve the goals, start slow, One week at a time, and you WILL notice the difference.
Again thank you, and have a great day.
