Video Game Reviews of My Weight Loss Coach

Customer Review: Great motivational tool for weight loss, but NOT as accurate as other devices in the market.
Summary: 4 Stars

After trying my weight loss coach for the DS for over two months, in conjuction to wii fit and my own personal pedometer, I can finally give my review for the weight loss coach 3 stars, but 4 stars for motivation.

I travel a lot, and basically have no chance to work out. When I come back to my assigned office to work, I find myself sitting in an office for hours, needless to say I barely walked more than 1000 steps a day. So, for someone like myself who works over 50 hours a week, I could not find time or the added motivation to include something like this in my life. When given to me my by fiancee, I tried it and found it to be FUN. At first it asked me to drink some water, then walk 500 steps, then it asked me to take a quiz so I can reflect on the reality of my activity levels. IF YOU LET IT, this can be a great motivational tool for weight loss or the achievement towards a healthier lifestyle. This game gives you challenges to complete and if you complete it, you obtain more miles on your game. I especially like how you can describe what food you consumed in the day, it's pretty cute how the food falls out of the description that you click and essentially, you put it in the stick figure's mouth. The overall game is pretty cute and as I mentioned before, can be very motivational if you want it to be.

However, there are some minor issues alongside the positives..depending on how you look at it. The pedometer is WAY off, by approx. 200 steps or so. I noticed this when I was walking up a hill on my travels to San Francisco and there are a lot of hills, so I bought a personal pedometer (Omron HJ112 Digital Pedometer) so I can see the difference. Also, when I got home to my long time friend the 'wii fit' and walked on the board I tested it many times and found that it is approx. 200 steps off. Both my Omron pedometer and wii fit matched steps, but NOT this pedometer. Maybe, possibly,?? I got a defective one :.( But I doubt it. Since this was only 15 dollars I can't complain much.

Secondly, DO NOT enter the steps you take until you are about to nap. I tried to change some things in terms of how much I ate, however you are not given an option to change your day's activities and food intake after you enter the information. It is also a little frustrating when you eat a balanced meal and the games tells you that you are not balanced. I count ALL my calories and my best friend is a nutrionalist, so I am well aware of my diet...so it's a little off as well.

Overall, I still think this is FUN! It makes me try to reach a higher goal that I usually would in terms of walking and working out. Although it is approx. 200 steps off, I see that as a challenge more so than a turn off. This got me off my butt and I always give myself a gift when I accomplished a good week of 80,000 steps....A great motivational tool if you can work with the defects of the game.

I hope this helps :.)
