To me, this is not a game. It’s a help-aid for those wanting to lose weight. It’s not fun, because it’s very hard to figure out (for me anyway) Also, if you have any kind of exercise regiment already in place, this tool has new exercises which are kind of lame. Just not my cup of tea, I guess.

I picked this up for my daughter and was helping her get the profile set up. The principle of this game is great. However, when creating the profile in it, it asks you to enter your weight using a slider like you find on the scale at a doctor’s office. As you slide the weight up, the character grows. What I found insulting is that at some point the back of the scale starts to bend backwards due to the size of the character. If you take the slide as far to the right as is possible, the character can no longer touch the groung with its feet. The facial expression also becomes less pleasant as you increase the weight. This is the image that you have to look at when you update you weight. It’s an insensitive depiction. Overweight people know that they’re overweight, they don’t need a game, that is supposed to help making healthy choices be fun, giving them images that are insulting and demoralizing.

This is a great idea in concept, but not thought through so that it is convenient to use.
The pedometer is huge. It is not easy to clip on and you can’t put it in a pocket, etc. like many others.
After awhile, you realize there really isn’t a “game” involved at all. You do have a few quizes, but that is about the extent of it. It is really a “tracker” and “general info giver.”
I would think of selling it used, but no one takes the pedometer when it is used, therefore you end up buying something that you really can’t use. Of course, after awhile it allows you to put in the steps you walked, but the plug in function is so convenient, even if the pedometer itself is not.

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.
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
