When you are playing Wii Fit, there’s something important to know or else you won’t be able to realize the true benefit from the game. When you play Wii Fit, you have to commit yourself completely to your task at hand. It might look silly for a 26 year old man to clap along to the music while playing “Advanced Step”, but if I can’t get a little silly while exercising when what’s the pint of using a video game to help me lose weight?

After using the Fit for three days I’m beginning to see where it overlaps with real life. One of the first things I noticed is my balance was off. The Fit has numerous visual ways to tell you “you slouch”. When you stand on the board, your center of balance is displayed as a red dot on crosshairs. After seeing this screen enough, I learned what standing position balanced my weight evenly between both feet and my toes and heels. Waiting for the subway, I’m finding myself shifting my weight to get an even balance between my feet.

On day 2, I had lost 3.7 lbs, but a faily BBQ for Father’s Day pushed me up 2.4 lbs. So instead losing lots of weight, I lost one pound.

Current Weight: 240
