What is Digg?208 Comments
- piper999, on 11/09/2007, -7/+126I guess its lucky for us losers that you took time out of your important schedule to let us know about your exciting life.
Hopefully you're not just making it up. - krawkula, on 11/09/2007, -2/+103Dude, I just lost 50 pounds on the Krispy Kreme diet.
They had to amputate my leg. - Okari, on 11/09/2007, -3/+88We'll be the judge to see if your wife could be in FHM. Just post some pictures, then we'll decide while playing with our Wii's.
- swanny89, on 10/11/2007, -3/+79What he doesn't tell you is he replaced meals with cooking mama.
- carpaltunel, on 11/09/2007, -4/+58Show me a fat girl turning hot from playing Wii. That I will digg!
- thenativeraver, on 10/11/2007, -6/+60Too bad you have hairy palms and going blind though...
- inactive, on 11/09/2007, -4/+56Because working out = long and painful.
Wii work out = short and fun.
This is coming from a guy who goes to the gym everyday. NOW I like working out, but thats because I'm used to it. For those just starting it's really tough. I say anything to help someone get in shape is a good thing. Don't be a jerk about his method unless its unhealthy. - VIrus9, on 11/09/2007, -26/+76How sedentary was this guy if doing something as simple as getting up off of his fat ass for 20-30 minutes a day will make him drop 40 lbs? If he really had such a problem with being fat, why the hell wasn't he getting up off of his fat ass before he got his Wii?
- inactive, on 11/09/2007, -3/+47She's banging her personal trainer.
- inactive, on 11/09/2007, -5/+47What a mean spirited *****. Why do douchebags like this guy have to exist?
Yeah, I go to the gym everyday too, I don't go around being an ***** about it. Exercise is exercise, why do you have to put down a guy who lost 40lbs because he didn't do it your way??
Damn, what a horrible person you must be. - JVIikel, on 10/11/2007, -2/+38This sounds all good, but I think his reasoning is specious. He says he lost 10 pounds/month by playing his wii *AND* "making some minor lifestyle adjustment changes with my eating habits and also with the way that I think."
I think the reason he lost the weight is because of his change of eating habits.
It's like saying I lost weight because i ate one gumdrop every night before bed *AND* worked out at the gym 2 hours per day. I'm not saying the wii couldn't help you lose weight, but rather it seems more plausible that the diet change had more to do with it.
Am I the only one thinking this? - gfair, on 10/11/2007, -2/+37I want a treadmill for running in Battlefield 2142. THAT would make me play games that required exercise.
- hardwareguy, on 10/11/2007, -5/+38God bless him for not exposing the world to another set of man *****.
i've seen enough on the iloser for a lifetime - phhmlw, on 11/09/2007, -1/+31Holy *****, give the guy a break! He is making changes in his life and trying to improve himself in a way that works for him. He has been able to do so for almost 6 months now with good results, and here you guys are still ragging on him. Yeah, I am fat too, more than he was in February, but I have started to walk around 4 miles every other day and started to eat less. Hopefully, I will have similar or better results and able to maintain for a long time.
It sucks not being perfect like a lot of you guys here, but give him some slack for trying to improve himself. - inactive, on 11/09/2007, -9/+39Why are the diggers being douchebags? A fat guy lost weight, be happy for him. I'm sorry he didn't lose it playing your favorite sport, get over it.
- johnnycheeks, on 11/09/2007, -3/+33Motivation is the main factor. I know it's sad, but in this day and age the common citizen strives for entertainment and pleasure more than anything for a reward system. Wii just happens to have the side effect of "getting up off of your fat ass".
- Billions, on 11/09/2007, -3/+32No real need to be a dick like that. I would think that a good-spirited individual that was truly secure in his own personality and place in the world would actually be stoked to see someone else succeed in losing weight too.
But I guess that's not you. And actually, I don't think anyone believes you. So, end result: you just look like a dick. I hope your wonderful wife doesn't catch wind of how insecure you really are. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -12/+40I know I have fun with my wii ;)
- LavaHot, on 11/09/2007, -4/+31I've been playing with my wii everyday for 7 years and i haven't lost a single pound.
- loveddevol, on 11/09/2007, -8/+34DDR FTW
- inactive, on 11/09/2007, -0/+24You should read his comment and think before replying in the future.
- plurk, on 10/11/2007, -8/+30Wow. Is that all I can really say in response? I have yet to read the article and I'm already amazed, but more by the comments then the content of the summary (which is great btw, more people could use losing some poundage). This is living proof of the words of the young lady on Warren Ellis' blog, "The internet is not your friend." I mean, that really isn't even the tip of the iceberg. The Internet makes one's real life enemies look like fair weather friends. I mean random people, who haven't an idea who you are, who you have never met nor initiated dialog with, are attacking you with such ... ferocity ... for just sharing the tale of your success. Wow. That really is all I can say. Congratulations diggers for making my faith in humanity fall just a little further.
- reddevil3, on 10/11/2007, -6/+26...and then you wake up from your dream.
- silencerider151, on 11/09/2007, -1/+21A half-hour of DDR followed by a half-hour of Wii Boxing every day would destroy fatness.
- L4WL3RS34L, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18I'm surprised no one has said this yet:
Buried for saying "I sleep with a girl" on digg. - cr4ft, on 11/09/2007, -4/+20I don't know why you guys are taking the idiots comments seriously. His life includes ridiculing others over the internet and his smoknhot girlfriend is probably just his sister or the like
- nyx210, on 11/09/2007, -0/+16You're doing it wrong.
- ladyarcher85, on 10/11/2007, -9/+24Is it just me or did he suck in his belly?
- Endeavorer, on 10/11/2007, -8/+23still looks fat to me =)
Keep it up. A few more years and you'll be a normal weight - tHePeOPle, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17He sounds really cool, so I doubt he's making it up.
- inactive, on 11/09/2007, -0/+12Uhm.. uh... I lost 20 pounds a month by climbing mountains and uh... by running the Boston marathon and riding my bike 35 miles a day... so uh... and uh I met 5 naked babes at the gym and uh... so.... I took them on one date so.... umm and now I'm married to them after a week and so.....umm and umm I get to sleep with them 8 times everynight... so uh... and they could all be Playmate of the month at the same time every month... so uh... yeah.
- Tankslap, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14Yeah, if this title isn't an ad to jerk off I dunno what is. Of course, the average nerd will evaporate within a year.
- witcompe, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13It's funny... He spouts off this diatribe on how much better getting out and exercising is than playing the Wii... Yet if you look at all his Dugg stories, they are almost all gaming stories. I think ibeetle is making up a fantasy life for himself. I would like to be the first to say that he is probably 300lbs and never moves from his computer and refreshes Digg every 10 min to catch the latest stories. What a sad pathetic life you must have, ibeetle.
- antiver, on 11/09/2007, -6/+17You guys are harsh. Digg me down.
- achoi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10It's likely the most dramatic change was his diet, without him knowing. I know a fellow that took a wager to stop drinking soda and fried foods for 6 months. No other change in his lifestyle. He lost 40 lbs over the 6 month span. Had he been tried excercising he would have lost even more. Trust me, controlling your daily intake is the most effective way to drop pounds - although it would be better if you excercised on top of that.
- Billions, on 10/11/2007, -12/+21Ah, yes, the mighty internet expert. Always so busy ***** on others! We don't know why he never "got up off his ass." But we now know he eventually did it. So more power (and weight reduction) to him.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+11Fat people burn calories faster than athletic people. The bigger you are, the more pounds of fat you burn by just moving.
- bmc152006, on 10/11/2007, -3/+11am i the only one that noticed the diggnation shirt in the video?
- XTCinOvaltine, on 10/11/2007, -11/+19Or you could, you know, go outside and bike a little, you know, give yourself more than an LED tan.
- sacherjj, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9I thought you went blind, not lost weight. *confused*
- beckerist, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Pics or it didn't happen....
hahahahaha - Optimaximal, on 11/09/2007, -2/+9Only an American would be convinced that hockey can only be played on ice.
- brocej, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Congratulations on the achievement. I would be interested to know how much of the loss was fat and how much was muscle. Body fat percentages are way more important than weight.
- chaosmachine, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7save the wii for wintertime. enjoy the summer while it's still here. :)
- Billions, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Plus he's REALLY getting into it - he looks like DeNiro in "Raging Bull" when he's playing Wii Sports Boxing... Except a little bigger. And a little shorter. And in color.
- keyboardduder, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I played with my wii and all i got was this lousy court order for indecent exposure. :'>(
- BigDigg55, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Forced abduction of a woman does not count as you guys are going out
- Speckles, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Every man keeps it from hanging out as far as it COULD go.
- xxBondsxx, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5because hes masquerading how he lost the weight. he's trying to make it seem like the wii did everything, when in reality it was a lifestyle change.
- Eldorian, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4And how do you propose I go surfing when I live in Kansas?
