Pixey: mine lock up when I've wrapped the day, so when it asks you if you want to wrap the day when you've put some of your daily food intake in, say no until you really are done everything. If it persists, I'd bring it back. When I bought mine, the pedometre wasn't working well and I went back to the store to exchange it with no problems. So far, the tips, coaching sessions and motivation this game has provided me surpass any other weight loss method I've tried. My fiancé and I are getting married next summer and I decided it was time I took my weight loss seriously. Together, we researched the pros and cons of this game versus the Wii Fit and decided that although this was twice the price (I purchased the DS solely for this game while we already had a Wii) it was the better choice because in addition to challenging you to walk more, do small exercises, etc, it also calculates your daily caloric intake with your daily exercise and incorporates nutrition with fitness while the Wii Fit only focuses on fitness and physical activity. In addition, the fact that the DS was portable provided me with a no excuses approach: I can take it with me anywhere, the pedometre is on me all the time and my food is inputed immediately upon eating so I can't cheat or decide I'm too busy one evening to turn on the Wii and TV to do exercises. However, this is like all other weight loss tactics: the responsibility lies on the user to stick to it. So far, my fiancé and I give it two thumbs up. Plus we love the graphs that it creates with your BMI/weightloss/activity/etc. I just got this last week and it’s definitely been a great motivator!

I am having issues with the physical fitness and balanced eating sections. They show up as locked when I've gone through all the games 'explanations'. Anyone know if this is programmed in, or if mine is just glitching? The maximum weight is 450 pounds. I am having issues with the physical fitness and balanced eating sections.

Each card will only take info for a single "player," so I purchased a second one for myself. While we haven't had them long enough to provide a "We've lost X pounds in just Y weeks" kinda of endorsement, we find ourselves motivated to meet our goals in a way we never have in the past.
