I've only used this product for a couple of weeks so far. So far, so good. It mostly just helps you get started moving, and helps show how what you eat relates to the different activities you do.
It's great because it gives you little daily goals. Here's an example of the daily goals:
- walk 6,000 steps (which, by the way, is not as far as it may sound)
- Do 30 minutes of physical activity
- Do one challenge
- Balance your food intake with your activity level
I love that "physical activity" pretty much includes any moving around. Most people probably think that they would have to do aerobics for an hour, or run a mile ... something extreme. This program counts household chores, or even shopping ... Read More:

I've been working on losing weight for 6 years and had reached a standstill. I don't have anyone around me encouraging me on so this has been great. The little stick figure greets me each evening and gives me tips and gets excited when I meet my challenges.
It figures out what your metabolic rate is and how much food to exercise that you need to lose weight.
It comes with a pedometer that attatches to the game boy advance slot on the DS and it collects the info into your file.
The steps are counted and you see your little figure walking on the screen. She has landmarks that she passes. Like I just finished walking the distance of the Panama canal. Every time you reach one you get a pictue of yourself..ie her infront ... Read More:

Being a Bride to Be and a bit out of shape I needed something to help motivate me to be more active. I have a desk Job and I love having my DS with me for a game on my breaks. Now instead on my DS Breaks I go for a walk around my office and parkinglot. Getting Fresh air and logging my food intake and keeping track of my steps.
I love the challenges they are tailored for me. (Every time you walk through a door way Suck in your stomach and hold it for 5 seconds) Well I never realized how many doorways I walk through. I have had Gastric Lap Band Surgery I used to weigh 500 pounds. I am now at 250 and I have 100 more that I would like to go. But I have a wonderful man who loves me and bought me this to make the last 100 pounds a game. He has given me a ... Read More:

This game is great for people wanting to loose weight on there own. It makes it fun. Why dish out hundreds of dollars a year to go to a gym when you dont have the time or money. Now for [...] or less, we can play a fun game to help get us motivated, learn whats better to eat and maybe some other things we didnt no. Now who could complain of that when it gets you moving? I love this "game" and use it every day.

My main problem with this game was the food. You have to remember everything you ate every day -- and the portion size, which isn't easy to do -- and log it in. And make it fit the game's generalized food categories. If you hit the wrong button by accident, you can't undo it. Logging in my food was not fun and just a chore, and even when I barely moved at all that day, the game was telling me my food to exercise balance was good. I know it's not. Many of the challenges the game was offering me -- like put away the salt shaker and clean up the kitchen -- were things I was already doing.
To walk the number of steps on the pedometer it wanted me to walk was a lot of walking! And here's where I failed the game. Instead of getting out at night and ... Read More:
