My Weight Loss Coach

I love this! It's easy, it's fun! The tips are helpful, but most of all it is so much fun I stay with it. You never know what the next challenge will be or what reaction you will get from your workout pal.

It is interesting to keep track of daily food intake and exercise so that I can see where I need to make improvements. However, there need to be improvements in the game. The food intake guide is very limited so you cant get a real accurate count of calories. Also the fitness input is limited. If you are just looking for an assistance for motivation this is a good "game" to purchase. But if you are looking for precise details, you may not be pleased.

I agree with the other reviews that the nutrition part is lacking in this game, but it is a lot less stressful to pick foods i've eaten than spend time researching exactly how many calories a food has. The pedometer has really motivated me to get up and move a lot. I'm a junior in college and my weight fluctuates a lot because it's hard to eat healthily there and i only exercise intensely before spring break. This game has helped me get on a steady routine that I can definetely keep up with, even if it does just include walking 30 minutes a day on the treadmill. People who are really serious about weight loss should maybe count their calories separately but I am just trying to maintain weight so I like that it encourages me to eat more than I normally do.

This game is a good concept, but it's too easy to put down. The pedometer is a bit bulky to wear with my work clothes at the office. The "side games" are informative and your little coach character is the cutest thing. Unfortunately, that's not enough to keep me coming back. Logging the food you eat each day was very difficult. Instead of picking from a written list you tap on pictures of food. Sometimes I wasn't quite sure what type of food the picture represented. The foods shown are very limited and there is no way to know what a serving is. If you tap on a food and realize you made a mistake, you can't fix it. I used the game for about a week and then lost all interest. Chalk up another wasted $[...] to my weight loss quest. My recommendation is to use the old reliable Weight Watchers program. Leave your DS for video games.

I really like this game. As a person who would not join a gym for exercise, this game encourages you to move around and eat healthy. The food part is not necessarily a diet to get thin as showing you how to eat a more balanced diet. I love the little stick woman!!
