Good for this guy using this method proves that videogames are better then what the politicians and grumpy moms like to claim they are and for that i say HA.
Screw plaing junior football and being made fun of that you are rounder than the ball. Play games for a month or two, that'll shed the weight faster.
I wonder how many WoW players are actually out of shape.HardRockSamurai said:
I only can think of 1 out of the 40-50 people I've met in person who play it.
Most Psychology courses say that largely the only thing standing between you and greatness at anything you could physically do is the amount of practice someone you idolize has managed. Very few people have more going for them than just TONS of practiceErana said:

Somehow I get the feeling that if anything like this gets picked up by a major company in the US it'll (assuming it's picked up first by Nintendo to make Wii Fit Infinity Quadruple Plus, or whatever, first) one of the first applications will be a World War II game.
In which you get fit by killing Nazis. In every possible fashion, doing every possible kind of work out. Not even really attacking motions or anything, just a simple "do thing = nazis die" formula to it all. As it seems like ever genre so far has covered the subject...on a monthly/weekly/daily basis already...

I would so do it, but I don't need to lose weight...
Reminds of the time I got 600,000,000 at school in Drug Lord 2.
"You trip over a dead body. You find four rockets!"
"You fire your shotgun. You kill 8 thugs!"
"You fire your Area Disruptor. You kill 62 thugs. You killed all the thugs!"

Whoa, wait a minute, WTF? Am I the only one who read this and thought it was kind of dumb? I mean the article doesn't go into any detail about the actual method, I'll be the first to admit that my money managing skills in a VIDEO GAME of all things, sucks harder than a two dollar (censored, oh so censored), I mean really? How does this make sense? Just don't eat shit for food? Did that really take someone to figure out, did you know running a few miles will burn calories too? Also, the worlds top minds are working on a method involving the repetitive movement of large weighted objects in facilities around the globe? I think they call it operation Get Your-ass Moving. Operation G.Y.M is going to be a great success, I can feel it... then again four years of high school wrestling has put me in a different mind set, I know what it takes to stay shape, you eat right and exercise regularly, its not that hard once you start a routine.
That isn't as ridiculous as I thought it would be when I read the title
Well good for him and for everyone else his method helps

Good for him.
I mean, not just that he used games to lose weight, that's just a gimmick he used to make it more fun. It's that he made his own plan tailored to his own wants and needs, stuck to it, and reaped the benefits. A lot of people could learn a thing or two from that.
Including me, though it isn't weight that is my nemesis...

Aside for motivational concepts, this doesn't have any relation to any actual video game at all. Or am i missing something (that i would find out by buying the book)?
I lost 24kg/50-ish pounds by just not eating sweets and not drinking soft drinks. Did not change a single thing about the rest of my diet, or life for that matter. Though i really should do that, for other reasons.

I'm tempted to buy the book just to read about it... it sounds highly interesting to read. What I could use in a similar manner, though, is a game that convinces me to work out. I used to have great stamina when it came to exercise and such (and I played a lot of DDR back then) but now I simply can't handle it. Maybe I'll apply a similar setup to something that'll keep me exercised.
