One year ago, today, I received a Wii for my birthday. I have noticed something since then. I have last weight. And not just a couple of pounds either.

A year ago I was about 180 lb in a size 8.

Now I'm 125 in a 2.

No diet no joining a gym no pills the only change is the playing of the Wii. Now to be clear I do not just sit there and twitch my wrists to handle the motion controls. I actually swing my arms as if swinging a sword when playing Zelda, I Actually get up and bowl as if it were a real ball in Wii Sports. In other words I play the Wii the same as if I am actually doing the activity (especially if company is over as guys just love to watch.)

So, am I the preverbial *results not typical, or has anyone else noticed this as well?

Also, a "HA!" to those who one year ago said the Wii was being sold to parents who thought that it was exercise even though it isn't.

Do you have before and after pics? It would make it into a proper weight loss story
I can't say I've noticed any major weight loss myself, but I sit on the sofa while playing MP3 - and only get up for the boss fights.

 

I usually hide behind the couch for all boss fights - until they are over and my girlfriend tells me I can come out again.
