I haven't tried this new tip, but it says I'm gaining 4 ibs daily just because I eat more at night than in the morning. However, it says that my exercising and metabolism and everything is at 100%. So, I'm going to make the switch and see what happens. I thought I was overweight, but this game says I'm on the borderline. However, once I save up money I'm also planning on getting a few other exercise games to try to help with the process. However, it says I need to start eating in the morning instead of at night and that is why I became overweight.
Modify this review within a week if anything changes. I'm a 21 year old female. I thought it was because of my exercise style that I was overweight, so I started exercising more. Also, it says I eat too little.
A lot of my weight is from steroids, but I DO NOT have a naturally high metabolism. That being said, this little game really makes you aware of how much food you're eating, how much you're moving and the little games on there are awesome. I've had cancer 3 times. Can't wait to see how far I can go.
When I volunteer I'm on my feet most of the time and moving around so THIS also contributes to my loss. I make list and I hate for unaccomplished task to stay on my list. I've learned a lot and seem to learn something new every day. I thought the game was going to be totally useless but it will let you enter in your number of steps manually. I've had it for 3 weeks and have lost 23 pounds. This game gives you challenges to accomplish and check off each day, like walk up 10 flights of stairs, walk 2000 steps more than usual, make a list of necessary grocery items and carry it with you. Here's my disclaimer about the extreme weightloss. I have been sedimentary for many months and started volunteering in September one day a week.
I just love it. I got this little game and thought "what the hell, i'll give it a go". I was upset at first when I got it because the pedometer that comes with it only interfaces with the DS not the DSi that I got for Christmas. Since I got the game I have stepped up my volunteering to 4-5 days a week.
However, the pedometer is a problem for me. It especially can't hold on when standing from a sitting position or getting out of the car.
I'm now trying scotch tape to see if I can get the battery to stay in.My Weight Loss Coach The bottom rubber protection comes off, and the battery and battery holder fall out.
When it falls off, it falls apart. Makes it hard to exercise with the pedometer on.
This game is really great. First, being a woman and not always wearing a belt, the pedometer does not stay well on a waistband when moving around.
All data is lost at this point.
If I return it, I have to pay for return shipping and I won't get the shipping I paid for back and I will get a prorated credit due to the game being opened. I tried to utilize the other aspects of the game, but you can't do anything unless you plug in the pedometer. Don't buy this if you have a DSI. I bought this for my DSI. When I got it, I opened it and found that the Pedometer doesn't work with the DSI. It would probably cost me more to return the game.
learned a few nutrition tricks, am still unlocking more tips. It kept getting caught on my arm rests at work and would fall off. And worst of all--everyone could see it and would ask what that was on my hip-- or that it was getting ready to fall off. Excellent if you are taking the 10,000 steps a day challengeCons: the pedometer was bulky & kept falling off.
This game should have been titled "My walking coach"--as this (so far) has been the majority of the game. If you buy this, you WILL need your own pedometer so you can track your walking more accurately & discretely. The daily food intake part of the program was just way off, it kept telling me I needed to eat more so I'm pretty sure it was set for a child's metabolism. LOVED the mini challenges. They motivated me to reach my goal even if I looked like a fool running down the block in the middle of the night just to reach my step quota for the day. Pedometer enclosed made it easy to input steps walked. It would slowly slip off when I was walking.
Also, I upgraded my DS lite to the DSi and I can no longer use the pedometer--not that I wanted to, but if you did, FYI it will NOT work with the DSi. Pros:Fun game, I lost a few pounds with in the first couple of weeks only because it got me to walk more. The stick figure on the scale is hilarious--when i inputted my weight the little gal just blew up like a balloon and broke the scale, that alone was an instant motivator LOL. A couple of times, I actually had to back track to find it.
