It all started in June of '08. The launch of Wii Fit. I told my fiance about the game, and she thought it'd be fun to try out. No big deal, have some fun and maybe get a little more active. Right...

So, day 1. I get on the Wii Balance Board (A.K.A. the scale) and it says *gasp* I'm OBESE! 272lbs and fast approaching 300! Now, if a video game is telling you're obese, there's something wrong there. Still, I really didn't take it that seriously until...

2 days later. I had been pigging out on Taco Bell and McDonald's in the days prior to this weigh in. I gained 4 pounds, 276lbs. What?! 4 pounds in 2 days? It was then that I realized that I needed to make a change. I needed to start eating better, living better. I didn't want my new born son to be raised on fast food. I didn't want to be fat anymore.

2 months later. I've lost 50 pounds. I'm reaching my goals. I'm feeling better, looking better. And it's (mostly) thanks to Wii Fit. I love you, Nintendo.
