4cr's Vinnk is conducting a bold experiment: attempting to lose weight with Wii Fit. Nintendo's latest flagship product is designed as an exercise tool, but we admit skepticism in the efficacy of leaning as exercise. We're hoping that Vinnk will see definitive results of some kind or another, for science.While he's not going for a strict scientific approach, the methodology should be informative and representative of most users' experience. He says that he doesn't plan to make any other lifestyle changes in order to lose weight (though "with any fitness program there will be the desire to eat healthier and possibly less"), so the primary experimental factor will be Wii Fit. He'll report on his results every week.
We find journal projects like these fascinating, not just because we are fat and curious about Wii Fit, but because there's something quite cool about statistical tracking of someone's video game experience.
