 Not for those that work the third shift July 10, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I was excited about this game coming onto the market since I had first heard about it. I purchased it a few days ago, and was eager to check it out. The first problem I found is that it assumes you keep normal day hours. I work from 11pm to 7am, so my day doesn't start until about 4pm usually. Therefore my workout times, and the times I eat my meals differ from the average. The day always resets itself at midnight regardless of what time you may actually eat your meals and work out. I was able to get around this by keeping track of what workouts I had done, food I had eaten, and entering it into the game after midnight. They could have really expanded the food options as well. This game does not take up a lot of space on the cart it is on, and it would not have been that hard to program the options. It would also help if you could view your balance of physical activity with your food intake as well. You can only view the balance when you enter in your food intake. br /br /This game needs some improvement, but it has kept me motivated in my fitness pursuits, which is what I bought it for to start with.
nice idea, pedometer sucks July 10, 2008

I just got this today, and as far as I can tell the program itself might be alright. I just can't get the clip into the pedometer. What the hell they were thinking with that one I don't know. So since you have to plug that into the ds, I can't exactly move forward. I don't know if anyone has had this much trouble putting it in or if it's just mine. So far not impressed.
Overall I find this game helpful, but... July 7, 2008

Overall I really like the game. I've had it for about 2 weeks and I've lost 4 pounds. It really gets a sedentary person up and moving around. I also like that it helps you keep track of everything. The exercise choices are great- I love the fact that housecleaning is an option. I put in some great music, set my timer for 30 min or more and have fun cleaning my house and losing weight! The food balance tracker is nice- I've been as honest as I possibly can (more food choices are needed). I like the fact that the game tells me if I need to do more exercise to balance out my food intake. Two things I really don't like: 1. The pedometer is really bulky and noisy plus it accidentally resets to zero often. Since you can manually input an estimate of steps, I purchased a smaller pedometer of my own and have been using that. 2. The challenges- ok I mostly like the challenges, but it assumes everyone lives in an urban area and walks to stores. When the nearest grocery store is 20 miles away, picking up groceries as you walk the dog is NOT practical and many of the physical challenges are based upon similar strategies. Perhaps on the next version when inputting your profile an urban/suburban/country location can be an option.
 Great concept.....very poor support July 7, 2008

I own Brain Age, Big Brain, and PicrossDS......All are great and easy to learn. So I was very excited to order My Weight Loss Coach. It has been very frustrating. Very very poor support. Wrote to the support team and they sent me to other sites that had nothing on them about My Weight Loss Coach. Also, couldn't register because it didn't have this game listed.br /The game itself has a great concept and I think could be fun, if it wasn't soooo frustrating. Can't go back.... difficulty trying to hook up the pedometer......Have spent 4 hours trying to get it to work and still can't get the pedometer to register the steps in the game. I think it could be a great game if it had a better manual and support. I finally gave up on support and will see if my grandkids can help....LOL
 Great weight loss tool July 7, 2008

I started using My Weight Loss Coach one week ago. According to the game I did not need to lose weight, but maintain my current weight. I disagreed (I have gained 10 pounds since getting married). I edited my profile to make myself 3 inches shorter than my actual height. Since then the game has worked great. I love the motivation that it provides. I needed this accountability. I have already lost one pound. You must follow all of the advice and assignments from your "coach". I love the challenges!
