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

Now I'm 125 in a 2.


Bullshit. It's impossible. You need 9 kcal to burn 1 g of fat... You claim you've lost almost 30 kg.

9000*30=270000 kcal

let's say you need to spare 210 kcal (1 h on stationary bicycle, 60 km/h) for every 1 hour with Wii. It would take ~1286 hours to burn such amount of fat. Even if you play 4h per day you need 320 days... utter bullshit. Be awere your body isn't keen to burn fat. Nobody can lose 30 kg without diet. Nobody. I need 4 months with diet, workout and cardio twice a day to burn 20 kg.

well i burn 250 Calories in 20mins on the eliptical machine in my gym (or so the machine tells me).  Just throwing that out there cause wii is a very full body workout unlike the stationary bicycle.

and although she said she didn't diet, if wii time is replacing TV time for example, she's probably not snacking as much.  A diet without realizing it.  Same thing happened to me when I was really into wow, i didn't think i was dieting but i lost a ton of weight cause i merely forgot to eat.  Almost let myself become one of those korean kids you hear about dying at the computer. xD

all in all, she lost about 4.5 pounds a month.  That's really quite plausible.  I would like to see some before and after pictures though.
