Forums - Nintendo - WiiFit Experiment...

@xponent,
I agree with you on so many levels, including your first post. I got to the gym a lot and try and tell some of my friends to come along, but they feel a little too intimidated by the folks at the gym, though they do not say it, i can tell. When i first started going to gym some years ago, if it wasn't for the person i trained with then i probably would not have the confidence to keep going

 

@Alasted

Lol its cool, guess one of the days for me today when things fly over my head.

You can see the difference on his arm and leg.

I don't.

Either way, its only 10lbs, so the difference would be minimal, but I do think he is overexagerating the stomach.


Lol, you are really fighting this aint you? Y do you find it so hard to believe?


 All i gotta say is when this is formally rebuffed. I told ya so.

I do not think its impossible to lose weight with WiiFit. I just think this guy is faking it. I don't see any difference in any part of his body except the stomach. If you breath in, hold your breath, and pull in your tummy I bet any of you can pull off the same differences.

Look at the frontal pics. His shoulders are higher and his chest is outward, looks to me as if he is clearly doing as i just said.  He's postering his body in both pics to make it seem he is bigger than normal in before and thinner than normal in after. I still say fake and shinanigans.


Please tell me or show me how you can suck up your love handles with holding your breath.

The difference in the frontal pics can also be attributed to him having better confidence and thus having better posture but I do understand that the difference in postures can be seen as a way to make it look like a bigger difference.

Also I would like you to explain his improvement in BMI and weight.

If you can´t explain this I call shinanigans on you and your statements :)

Keep in mind too that excercise does actually improve one's posture.



jlauro on 02 April 2008

I don't think it's fake or shinanigans. Wii fit teaches posture too, so he is holding his shoulders better, plus he feels more confident, etc... so it may be he didn't know how to pose well for the before picture, but that doesn't make it fake.

Personally if anything made me feel confident, that wii-fit is about smash all records its this. When it was announced i was not a believer but now, i even want one for myself.

 hey, its all about posture and how you hold yourself. About his BMI, etc. Do you always beleive everything is 100% fact if it is printed on the internet?

I still say he is exagerating the physical difference in the stomach from a 10lb loss in weight. That's all. He may very well of lost 10lbs, but I think the before and after pics are exagerated.

Then actually read the blog superchunk.

An overall weight loss tells you little, as muscle is heavier than fat, and a lot of Wii Fit's exercises are muscular. He even said he preferred the muscle building ones.

No I don´t and that´s why I declare your comments about the above shinanigans.

Well You can definitely see a difference in this image.

no one can make their love handles disappear by breathing in

 


Notice his chest hair/leg hair. Exactly the same. I would think its pretty hard to ensure they are exactly the same after 7 weeks.


I don't get it, are you being sarcastic or do you actually believe the words you are saying?


One exercise that must be working is the soccer blocking with his head.  Note how in the after picuture his ears are much wider, probably from that workout.  Well, unless he got a haircut.

Considering how many Wii stories there are out there in the press about Wii Sports being used for 'Wiihibilation' in physical therapy, I think that Wii Fit will be used in that area a lot, since it is even more full body movement than Wii Sport.  Yielding even more free press for Nintendo.  



Torturing the numbers.  Hear them scream.

If this is faked there is some photoshopping going on the in the first pic. His calfs are smaller in the after, his biceps and triceps are much less flabby and are actually starting to show tone and his skin has tanned a bit.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was faked but if you look at the first pic and see no difference you're just not looking.
