Weight Loss Journal

As technology improves, more and more people are turning to new ways to lose weight. From online weight loss membership sites, to video games, there are now countless ways to get fit. We decided to delve into this market and take a good look at some of the best contenders that are currently available. We had heard some good things about the My Weight Loss Coach, which is compatible with the popular Nintendo DS system, so we decided to take a look at it and see what all the hype is about.

The package includes a free pedometer, and considering that the program is only $25, that’s a good deal. Although the Wii Fit has been largely derided, this was one program that we found was actually quite useful. Once you get it started, you’ll need to create your own profile. The nice thing is, the entire family can get fit together thanks to the ability to create more than one profile and store them all.

After you have your profile set up, you’ll need to work on figuring out some goals. The program walks you through the entire progress and then helps you set up a unique reward system every time you reach a goal. We’ve found that reward systems work well in this situation and were very pleased to see that this was included in this release.

The pedometer can link up with your Nintendo DS and help you keep exact track of the progress you’re making. We loved the fact that this is entirely lifestyle based, focusing on changing eating habits and getting more exercise. There is an element of competition in there as well that may help those who struggle with motivation to keep going on their diet plan.

The program won’t force you to lose weight, that’s entirely up to you, and if there is one downside, it may be that. But, considering that all diets are up the person using them, we really can’t fault the program for that. It was developed by a fitness instructor and a diet coach, and the effort they put in to it is remarkable.

Overall, this was a fun program that should help many people get results. There’s no reason not to take advantage of technology to help you lose weight and out of all of the different programs we reviewed this one was certainly among the best. You may have to rip the Nintendo DS out of your kid’s hands to use it, but it’s worth the effort. For those that are seeking a new way and new hope to lose weight, this may just be the ticket.

The learning curve was slight, making it a good option even for the less technical. We recommend this product, especially since it will give dieters a good foundation in sound nutritional practices and help them with their exercise plans. Add in the included pedometer, and you’ve got a great way to lose weight and get fit.
