Wii Fit has been out for a while and I've been pondering as to how viable it actually is as a fitness utility. I'm aware that it exists for fun as well as healthy activity, however, I wonder if it is possible for someone who is a bit heavier to use it and actually become somewhat heartier and stronger as a person as a result. I have seen variousnewsoutlets and websites have their shot at it, but after reading through everything and not seeing it remotely taken from the perspective of a gamer, I became dissatisfied and decided to give it my own go. 
 
So, starting Monday, August 17, I'm going to give it a 3 month go on my own Wii Fit program. I will be documenting my weight daily as well as what I eat and when. I will also be documenting any outside exercise to keep things fair and honest. Every Friday I will post a cumulative update of the activity from the week prior as well as what games I unlocked, duration of the games played previously, and anticipations for the following week. 
 
I'm not saying this will work and I'm not saying this is the brightest idea I have ever had, but I best give it my shot because so far, every other attempt I have seen really hasn't done anything to make me believe it would work. Also, I don't believe that anyone else should try this. I consider this an experiment and have no problem exposing myself to it, but have extreme issues with media figureheads who say this worked for me, so it'll work for you. This is going to be an experiment. I want to emphasize that specifically in the same way Frankenstein resurrected a dead man. I don't know what is going to happen. I can only document things as best as I can and publish them in an open forum for any interested. 
 
In the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions or thoughts on the topic matter, feel free to drop me a message or a comment.
