So much for the it doesn't help you lose weight.

 

http://www.4colorrebellion.com/archives/2008/04/02/the-great-experiment-wii-fit-–-final-report-or-how-i-lost-10-pounds-in-7-weeks-by-playing-video-games/#more-5741

For 7 weeks I made a daily commitment to Wii Fit, and in my opinion it paid off. I was able to both lose weight and gain muscle. Along the way I also gained self-confidence in my body, and self esteem in general.

Over the course of this experiment I wrote over 50 pages of journal entries and impressions. I will now try to break that information down into one short post with statistics, a graph and my “before and after” pictures. 

 

The truth is it really doesn't matter what you do, so long as you are doing some type of exercise for 30min to 1 hour at least 3 times a week , you will lose weight

If you actually follow what WiiFit asks of you I am not suprised, because if I am not mistaken it gives you schedules that involve things like an hour of walking or other things like that (where you are not neccessarily in front of the TV)



umm no. he is mearly pushing out his stomach in the first pic and sucking it mostly in in the second.

Look at face, arms, and legs. All same size in both pics.

he's purposely lowering his chin in before and putting one foot slightly in front of other.

His chest, and everything else beyond the stomach are the same proportions.

I CALL SHINANIGANS!!!!!



Wii Sports worked. OF COURSE Wii Fit will work.

nah he definitely looks like he has lost weight. Though i think he maybe breathing in a bit. This is one of the main reasons the detractors used as to crap on wii fit, but we have evidence here, i think we will have even more experiments like these as soon as wii fit is released

I think this is legit , because you could see in the neck are he doesn't have much of a chin compared to the first pic.

 Look at th angle of his face. If you put your chin slightly down you will look fatter in the neck too.

EVERYONE look at his back just above his elbow, see those two dimples/divots. Those are exactly the same in both pics.

Also notice his facial hair/hair cut. Exactly the same. I would think its pretty hard to ensure they are exactly the same after 7 weeks.



WOW

 His haircut and sudeburns are different in both pics, though that can easily be done.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
