Woman Loses 112lbs Thanks to Wii Fit

[Raiser]

A 38-year-old British woman, once so large she was afraid to have sex with her husband, now parades about her home in sexy lingerie after losing 112 pounds, a dramatic change in physique she credits to a Wii Fit regimen.

Lara Roberts specifically thanked the Wii for allowing her to work out in her home, because she was very self-conscious about visiting a gym or jogging in public. As a result, she went from 252 to 140 pounds in a year.

Note: There absolutely was a dietary component to this change. British tab News of the World says she "ditched the comfort eating," which had surged to nearly 4,000 calories a day until a friend pointed out her nonstop consumption.

"I knew if I didn't do something, chances are I wouldn't live to see my girls grow up," she said.

But while this sounds like the textbook definition of "results may vary," I find it believable. First, it took a full year of getting up at 5 a.m. to work out. That's not a quick-fix miracle program. Second, she recognized fully how her eating habits required a very disciplined change in behavior. And third, she was motivated by concern for her children and she had the support of her family. Shame or embarrassment are powerful feelings, but they can't motivate you without a support network, you'll just give in to defeatism. I also buy the fact Wii Fit appealed to her because it allowed her to work out in private.

The benefits? Lara's become quite the cougar. She says her daughter's male friends have eyes for her, and an appearance on BBC 3's "I'm Hotter Than My Daughter" backs it up.

Wasn't there some story a whiles back about how this guy lost lots of weight playing Wii boxing? Seems like a much more fun method, personally (although Wii boxing is really nothing but some random flailing).

Now we can wait for Nintendo in the UK to start hooking her up with some Wii Fit commercials. She'll be like fucking Jerry or whatever his name is in the Subway commercials.

EDIT: MILF.

Now this IS some good advertising for Ninty.

Also, I can't believe how much weight she lost. I mean, she almost looks like a completely different person, now

 

[iFish]

my mom is playing wii fit.... but becaause she wants to lose weight... she likes the balance games :B

 

[Deleted_171835]

Meh. She needed Wii Fit to motivate her? Just use a freaking treadmill or run in the park. No need for a gaming device. Well, it wasn't entirely due to Wii Fit. Her diet changed too.

Ninty should be happy, though.

And then in the Feb. NPD numbers Wii Fit is #1. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

Bullshit. You can't lose all like Just from one thing.

PS. She will become bulimic.

 

[SPH73]

Damn!

[Splych]

Bullshit. You can't lose all like Just from one thing.

PS. She is bulimic.

^ Fixed.

100+ Pounds in a year... Just because of Wii fit? I don't think so...

Before Weight Loss


She changed her diet. Thats the big thing. Wii Fit just helped her to work out in private. You could do the same with a treadmill.

 

[fgghjjkll]

sure you can lose the weight...but can you burn that fat?
