I lost 10 pounds per month by playing with my Wii
wiiweightlossplan.com — I think in the last 4 months I've been able to do what every guy dreams they could do. Spending about 30-45 minutes a day by yourself, just playing with your Wii (sometimes inviting others to join you) and losing weight in the process (10 pounds a month in fact!). Losing 40 pounds in 4 months!

- ibeetle, on 11/09/2007, -169/+32I lost 10 pounds in a month by getting out in the fresh air and sunshine. Riding my bike 10 miles a day. Joining a Gym, and working out. Where I met a smoke'n hot gym babe. Took her out on a few dates, and 10 months later married her. Now I get to sleep with a girl who could be in FHM... every night.
Have fun with your Wii.- piper999, on 11/09/2007, -7/+127I 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.- tHePeOPle, on 10/11/2007, -3/+18He sounds really cool, so I doubt he's making it up.
- 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. - 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.
- Okari, on 11/09/2007, -3/+89We'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.
- slicedoranges, on 10/11/2007, -22/+8Don't put apostrophes in plural nouns, please.
- vondrak, on 10/11/2007, -49/+2Wait a min, you've only been on the wii exercise program for a month. But you say that 10 months ago you met your "smoke'n hot" wife seemingly because you has gotten into shape?? Are we to believe that you also created a time machine and then used said time machine to go back 10 months and meet your to be wife after you had lost the 10 lbs?
- bluezinc, on 11/09/2007, -0/+25You should read his comment and think before replying in the future.
- pivovy, on 10/11/2007, -3/+4And tell me where you get your weed too.
- Splint69, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Yeah I think You mixed the articles description and his comment together.
- krawkula, on 11/09/2007, -2/+105Dude, I just lost 50 pounds on the Krispy Kreme diet.
They had to amputate my leg. - Conwaysb0718, on 10/11/2007, -16/+4ibeetle, I wanna party with you!!
- reddevil3, on 10/11/2007, -6/+27...and then you wake up from your dream.
- Billions, on 11/09/2007, -3/+33No 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.- profOblivion, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Congratulations on having one of two mature responses so far in this reply thread (the other belonging to bluezinc below). I mean, yeah the parent comment was out of line, but ***** people, way to lower the bar.
- Dregga, on 11/09/2007, -3/+48She's banging her personal trainer.
- bluezinc, on 11/09/2007, -5/+48What 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. - cr4ft, on 11/09/2007, -4/+21I 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
- Elranzer, on 11/09/2007, -10/+15iBeetle = PS3 fan with no girlfriend/wife or Wii.
- mywhitenoise, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6Why does he have to be a PS3 fan?
- ispysomething, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2what's PS3 got to do with anything?
- silencerider151, on 10/11/2007, -4/+5Yeah.
If you're fat, getting up and doing pretty much anything physical everyday will make you lose weight.
It's a little harder when you're only about 15 pounds over your normal weight to lose those pounds.- TimDigg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1This is where I am man
if you weight you like 500 lbs, you could mow the lawn and lose 5 lbs
for me though ...I'm 220 and want to weight like 200...the last 20 are tough as hell........once I was up to 240......the weight came easily, in like a month or so...back to 220...
- TimDigg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1This is where I am man
- ZeRux, on 10/11/2007, -8/+3There was a woman who cured her breast cancer by exercising on wii. I'm sure you're outraged on how someone dying of a cancer could decide to spend some of her time on something as stupid as gaming console. Of course, she did not had a life, much like the rest of us, except that was a literal meaning for her.
- beckerist, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10Pics or it didn't happen....
hahahahaha - iChaz, on 10/11/2007, -8/+0that was clever, and i guess a good comment. makes sense and should be what everyone does to get excersize. sadly it isn't, but just because you geeks need to ask for pics of his girlfriend (cause either way, he made a good point) is weird. go do it yourself.
- Splint69, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5hmm... iChaz does sound alot like iBeetle and you seem to be the only person who strongly sided with ibeetle, wait I think you were the only person who sided with ibeetle at all. (Besides the wierd diggers who want to party and what not but they don't count cause they're wierd.)

At least.. geeks got enough brain cells not to play.. I got a better looking wife because I don't play wii.. but have fun bicycling..?!?.. and posting stupid things on Digg.. - directsun, on 10/11/2007, -3/+8Congratulations. You are the most unpopular person on digg. *golf clap*
- BigDigg55, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Forced abduction of a woman does not count as you guys are going out
- Haax, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Tell us why all your diggs are on video game stories then?
- aoneal417, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I'll stick to the wii exercise, standard outdoor type actually doing stuff exercise never really did it for me.
- cambob76, on 11/09/2007, -0/+13Uhm.. 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.

- hellbent88, on 10/11/2007, -12/+40I know I have fun with my wii ;)
- 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.
- sacherjj, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9I thought you went blind, not lost weight. *confused*
- beatwaffles, on 10/11/2007, -17/+2sweet....stars in my pocket.
I have stars in my pocket and I don't even have a wii to lose ten pounds a month. I have basketball shorts, a UCLA shirt, and a gym membership to get me to where I'm going. - thenativeraver, on 10/11/2007, -6/+60Too bad you have hairy palms and going blind though...
- keyboardduder, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I played with my wii and all i got was this lousy court order for indecent exposure. :'>(
- loveddevol, on 11/09/2007, -8/+34DDR FTW
- silencerider151, on 11/09/2007, -1/+21A half-hour of DDR followed by a half-hour of Wii Boxing every day would destroy fatness.
- TimDigg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2you think Wii boxing is rough...wait till you play mocap boxing

- swanny89, on 10/11/2007, -3/+79What he doesn't tell you is he replaced meals with cooking mama.
- 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?
- 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 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.
- bluezinc, 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.- fortezza, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Sports are also fun. He should have a balanced diet and be active with a sports team. Weight training and cardio by yourself are ok, but you get many more benefits ( friends, skills, discipline, teamwork ) by exercising with others. I actually did the solo stuff for a long time before adding in sports ( Soccer, in my case ), and I'd wish that I had made the switch a long time ago.
Just doing something to lose pounds can be unhealthy. You have to do it in a regulated way, not just cutting calories.

- dotlizard, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6bottom line is, for serious / dedicated / obsessed gamers (whatever you want to call us, there's a lot of us around), the wii is a marvelous toy that has, indeed, gotten us up off our fat, game-addicted asses, and for that we are healthier people.
oh, and "getting up off yoru fat ass for 20-30 minutes a day" is just your basic dr.'s orders -- and hey, the doctors were right! who knew? - 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.
- adb44, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Wow...he's eating only 1000 calories a day. That's probably a massive lifestyle change for him...I weigh 160 and I'd be hungry all the time with that little energy coming in. Kudos to his dedication.

ZOMG, DOES THIS MEAN THE WII MAKES YOU LOOSE WEIGHT? NO IT MEANS IF YOU ACTUALLY MOVE YOUR ASS (which the wii does not require) THEN YOU WILL HELP UR BODY
Capslock is cruise control for cool 8) - nyx210, on 11/09/2007, -7/+8Which games were he playing? It doesn't say anywhere. If you assume that a month has 4 weeks, then 10 lbs / month translates into 2.5 lbs per week. A pound of fat can supply 3,500 kcalories, so he would need to have a 8,750 kcalorie deficit per week, or about 1,250 kcal per DAY. Now assuming that this guy's body needed about 2,000 kcal per day on average, he could eat 1,500 kcal in food, but then he'd need to burn 750 kcal in exercise EVERY DAY.
How did he burn so many calories in 30-45 minutes playing the WII?! Something's not right...- bluezinc, 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.
- samwell, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3he lost water weight and probably what little muscle mass he had.
- 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.
- BryGy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1If you look at his other posts, he's eating more like 1100 kcal per day, not 1500kcal.
- brp1264, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0I lost 30 lbs in my first month on the atkins diet... I only weighed 230lbs and ate steak, bacon, beef jerky, burgers etc... all day, every day... Oh yeah, and i didn't exercise at all! Your globetrotter algebra doesn't work in my case either.
- 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.

- Darkneuros, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Heh! Every time someone mentions playing with their Wii I giggle, but not in a creepy way, wait, that sounded creepy, nevermind :-)
- 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?- white1827, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Losing weight isn't interesting in and of itself. Using Wii Sports (he says he did extra things like jogging around when playing tennis) as an exersize tool for weight loss was the interesting part.
No one loses much weight by starting to exersize. They lose weight by altering their diet (not just going on one).- reyalp, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3So you're saying, if a 200lb, 30%BF person ate the same way that they always had, except now they started to jog 3 miles a day, they won't lose any weight at all? That's the funniest thing I've heard all day.
- xxBondsxx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1yeah man that's just wrong. look it up. there's visceral fat (fat that packs onto your organs) and subcutaneous fat (fat that sits underneath your skin). Exercise burns subcutaneous (making you look better) and dieting makes you burn visceral (makes you lose your belly.... VERY SLOWLY).
It's all about calories in vs calories out. exercise modifies the latter while dieiting modifies the former.- fortezza, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Don't forget that its not just what you eat and if you exercise, but also how you eat ( small meals, big meals ) and how you exercise ( cardio versus bodybuilding ). And you pointed out fat, and also don't forget that your body needs to adjust to changes in lifestyle. It will get used to an unhealthy diet, and go into withdraw when you change it. I remember when I first started the South Beach diet, I would crash ( lose all energy ) quickly for no reason at all, which made my work outs harder. Its only lasted about a week as my body adjusted to the lack of sugars and carbs it had gotten used to having.
Anyway, once you adjust to the new diet, you stabilize and don't want to go back. The bad thing about it is that you keep having to buy smaller pants because of the shrinking waistline.

- Lasereth, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Yeah if you're severely overweight, all it takes is a minor eating change to lose weight fast. The Wii might have SLIGHTLY helped him lose weight but the "minor lifestyle adjustment" is the real deal here. Just another Wii promotion article.
- xxBondsxx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I totally agree. I think these people are using the wii as this way to jump on board this crazy press train, get some motivation, play some videogames, and lose some weight. Once the hype dies, so does the motivation, and it all comes back

http://www.foodone.blogspot.com- darkfish, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Nonsense. Diets do not work. You cannot remain on a diet for long periods. It is simply not practical. People get on and get off diets and regain all the weight back++.

- firebhaal, on 10/11/2007, -6/+0"Spending about 30-45 minutes a day by yourself, just playing with your Wii (sometimes inviting others to join you)" I never witnessed any results and I have been on this program for a decade :*(
- that1jewishguy, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1that's the nerdiest way i heard to lose weight since that guy who make the bike machine that was hooked up to his WOW account. just go to the gym
- Eldorian, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2I had a gym membership and it didn't work out for me. If you read through the blog there was a couple weeks in there where I tried it out. The results I saw from doing what I was doing with the Wii were just as good as going to the gym - so why bother paying the $75/month the gym wanted from me?
- Djanvk, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Yea but all you are doing in Cardio, You will have crap for muscle definition if thats all you do with no resistance exercises. Plus more muscle mass = increased metabolism. Diet + Weightlifting + Cardio = weightloss.

Come on admit it, you have to turn the controller to the left when you want your character to go left, and shake it around when you get something done right. And then there's the whole getting out of your seat to mock the guy / girl you played with, whilst jumping and making obscene hand gestures.
Yes the wii is cool because it makes use of this extra movement people used to do before , the man in this article is just a fat bastard who realized moving more might help. - skratchnerd, on 10/11/2007, -5/+3If you want to lose more weight, start a fight club w/ Bob. Dueling man boobies. Yuk.
- bluezinc, 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.
- 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.
- littleodie914, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Agreed. Congrats man, however you did it.
- 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.
- Lasereth, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5Um, you didn't read the article. It clearly says that he stopped eating like a fatass and started exercising BEYOND playing the Wii. That's what made him lose the weight. This is sensationalism.
- fortezza, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1plurk needs to get a clue. Oh, and I am very said he no longer has faith in humanity. His kind brings down the national average in everything ( science, math, etc ). Please do us all a favor and do not reproduce. Go back to your basement and play video games. Thank You.

- antiver, on 11/09/2007, -6/+17You guys are harsh. Digg me down.
- Beaver6813, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5erm.. wtf..?
- chaosmachine, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7save the wii for wintertime. enjoy the summer while it's still here. :)
- delong, on 10/11/2007, -8/+7Marked as inaccurate. This idiot isn't losing weight by playing the Wii. He's losing weight on a starvation diet. Check his blog - one day he only ate 750 calories. The rest of his diet is 1000 calories. Yeah genius, eat half the calories you need in a day and be surprised you're losing weight. What a tard.
- lauramariel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Agreed.... he isn't eating anywhere near enough calories... how tall is this guy? I couldn't find it on his page... but regardless, if he ever goes back to eating normally he's just going to put most of the weight back on.
- 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.
- Eldorian, on 10/11/2007, -0/+131% to 26%
I'd like to reach around 19% or a little lower.- brocej, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1OK. By my calculations that's a loss of 24lbs of fat and 16lbs of muscle.
Good job on the fat, but be careful about muscle loss. As your muscle mass decreases your metabolism will slow, making fat gain in the future a problem.
I'm sure you probably know that already. There are plenty of articles out there on how to prevent muscle loss when dieting.

- shawnz, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5"Spending about 30-45 minutes a day by yourself, just playing with your Wii"
been there, done that - praveenmarkandu, on 10/11/2007, -7/+2THIS GUY WAS 270pounds! holy *****!
- samwell, on 11/09/2007, -11/+2that's it. it's official. digg consists of a bunch of lazy fvck fatties who obsess over the thought of making love to steve jobs and who believe going from morbidly obese to just obese by making a habit out of playing video games is an accomplishment. welcome to the bottom 1%. please don't spread your genes. oh wait. you can't because 1) you're always on your computers and 2) no one will have sex with you people.
- Jugalator, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1You even suck at trolling.
- ZeRux, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3You too should spend more time outside, don't waste your life by posting comments on digg.
- trakais, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2"just playing with your Wee-Wee (sometimes inviting others to join you)" ?
- Grimdotdotdot, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3So moving yourself about for half an hour a day made you lose weight?
Who knew?!? - 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.- sowdog, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Power to you bro, i wish you the best with your goals :)
- gordeaoux, on 10/11/2007, -6/+0The real reason he got thin was he got aids. I mean aides.

- SL33PY, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2if you weigh 400 pounds its not that hard to lose 10, ever tried to stop eating the stuff at McDonalds and eat fresh vegetables and fruit on a daily basis.
- 0o0Moylan0o0, on 10/11/2007, -4/+110 pounds a month? Well that wont work for everyone. He must be one real fat noob to start with to be able to loose 10 pounds a month on a fricken Wii
- RoflMyWaffle, on 10/11/2007, -6/+1I loose 30 a month playing with mine... well its a different kinda of wii...
- skidme, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I bet you have a wee wii.
- Gella321, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2lose, you mean.
- plurk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1No, he meant loose ... and he isn't talking about pounds ... *shudder*
- rideburton1776, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0i think his pants are cutting into his back so its like he sucked his stomach in and yanked the ***** out of his pants
- sporg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I smell bacon.
- m0tbaillie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2You'd have to be pretty fat and severely out of shape to lose 10lbs/month by playing the Nintendo Wii. It's not that strenuous.
- Mantees, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3On his previous posts he says he is eating less than 1300 calories per day but the merit of loosing weight goes to the WII?
- CalvinLawson, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1I think the light exercise probably did help this guy. Kudos to him!
