"When you weigh yourself on a daily basis, and you see changes, you think about why," says Miyamoto. I was skeptical when he told me that a month ago, but now I'm a believer......but being more aware of how skipping workouts and sneaking in snacks affects my weight is a reality check I'm at peace with.

 QFT

 When I started losing weight the biggest thing that helped was checking weight consistently.  It got to the point I could figure out how much less to eat exactly and I felt bad for gaining x number of pounds for an extra snack or two.  Plus deciding to skip working out you'll feel even worse because you realize just how much it set you back. 

 

Is that honestly what he said?  wow - I was saying exactly the same thing today to a work colleague in that the best thing Wii Fit has done is educate me that snacks on a night, pasties, sausage rolls or red wine will result in me putting weight on that day.  I now see patterns emerging through my history graph and I can observe it and in the 3rd week i'm constantly losing small amounts every day.

 Dont get me wrong though it's not a miracle solution and it requires a lot of hard work.
