The yo-yo continues to yo, and then yo again. Now I’m down about two pounds and again on course for breaking the 170 barrier? But will it happen? The last time I got close I suddenly gained a bunch of mystery weight. I’m not holding my breath that it will happen soon. If for no [...]

Britain’s National Health (kind of) Supports Wii Fit Plus
According to the Telegraph, Wii Fit Plus, which launches in Britain on October 30th, will arrive at stores carrying the Change4Life logo.
You may remember that earlier this year the Change4Life campaign released a PSA which depicted video games among the factors contributing to childhood obesity. To be fair, the ads, which were created by the great animation team [...]
Day Twelve: Jogging with the Kitty Kats
No change in weight today. That’s better than an increase. I’m now within 1 BMI point of the normal threshold. That sounds really close, but it’s actually about 7.5 pounds away. Or, roughly 4% of me that needs to dissolve away before the balance board will stop playing the tubby elephant trumpet.
My Wii Fit Age [...]
Day Eleven: Curse of the Temptress
Yesterday’s slight bump up in weight is followed by a slightly larger dip down today. I’ll take that.
More than 10 years difference in today’s Wii Fit age. I assume this has nothing to do with the weight loss and everything to do with the fact that I did slightly better on an agility game.
The EA [...]
Day Eight: Leaping Lizards and Lugubrious Legs
A wise man once said no g-news is good g-news, unless it’s gary gnus. In keeping with that gentle spirit, there is no news to report on the weight front. Since it’s the exact same as yesterday, I feel like the balance board should reward me. It’s usually so pleased when things remain perfectly still.
Despite [...]
Day Seven: Jumping Jehosaphat
Today the weight is up by a little over a pound. Overall it’s down from this time last week.
Wii Fit Age is matching up with my real age. I have no idea why. Maybe the balance board picks the age out of a bingo tumbler.
Today’s EA Sports Active workout introduced side to side jumps. Now, [...]
Day Five: Coke Cupcakes and Curious Calories
Hey, check it out. I’ve lost a noticeable amount of weight today. I don’t want to count any chickens, hopefully it’s an indicator that things are moving in the right direction.
The Wii Fit age is up a little bit, but the Mii is still looking pretty satisfied so I’ll take that as a good sign.
This [...]
Day Four: EA Sports Active 30-Day Challenge
Here’s the daily scuttlebutt pertaining to my ample butt. My weight bounced back up by 0.2 pounds. Seems like a blip. I’m not super concerned.
Apparently this wasn’t enough of an increase to trigger one of the balance board’s guilt trips. You know, the ones where you must confess all your dietary sins to an anthropomorphic [...]
Day Three: Lightweights and Ice Capades
Today’s weight difference was less dramatic than yesterday’s. Still around 176 pounds.
I actually find these gradual shifts of fractions of a pound comforting. It seems to me that’s the way it should work. The days where I’m 2-3 pounds up or down are more disconcerting because it feels like the fluctuations are up to random [...]
Day Two: Further Adventures with Wii Fit Plus
Today’s workout consisted of just over an hour of Wii Fit Plus. Admittedly, I spent more time checking out the new games than I did focusing on strenuous exercise. I worked up a little bit of a sweat, but in total the whole hour felt more like a warm up.
To my surprise, I was down [...]
