BACKGROUNDBACKGROUND Start the Diet Now Advertisement

Nintendo really seems to be grabbing the market on the physical activity-minded video games. On the coat tails of the popular Wii and Wii Fit, they introduce My Weight Loss Coach for the handheld Nintendo DS. While this "game" itself won't get you in shape, it will serve as an electronic motivator- giving you the tools and guidance you need to stay focused and motivated.

My Weight Loss Coach comes with a pedometer- a tool used to track how many steps you take during a day. You sync this each day with the Nintendo DS and it will track your progress. It will also record and track your BMI, total weight lost, total distance moved and allow you to key-in other milestones as far as diet and other exercise. The program was developed by a nutritionist- so not only does it encourage weight loss, but it's a digital partner in helping you obtain your overall health and nutrition goals.

I use it to help me keep track of everything else I am doing to try to lose weight. I just don't like that it encourages me to eat more than 2000 cals a day to keep up with my energy output... it doesn't understand I am trying to LOSE weight here! LOL

I love this game. It is a great reminder. I have noticed that I am cooking healthier meals, taking my dog for longer walks. Using my Treadmill and Trampoline more than I was, I also love the minute challenges where I do jumping jacks or sit up's, It reminds me to drink water. And keeping track of my exercize has always been a problem but using the Pedometer and logging my time on this game has been fun! Progress... With this and the Wii Fit I can see myself getting in shape.

I love this. I have had it for a week and it has made me get my steps in everyday. I love the motivation and I do not agree with the lack of diatary guidence. I think that it has a bunch of great diet tips-like looking up new recipes, cooking with new ingredients and trying to make healthy soups with beans, grains and vegies. For the price, this is a great little motivator.
