 A good start, but needs improvement August 27, 2008
Octavia Wilde (Kings Bay, GA USA)
The game in itself is cute and entertaining. It does well in suggesting challenges to get moving and actually thinking about what you're eating, but it has definite room for improvement.
I was aghast when it told me I was in a healthy BMI range. I know from experience that I'm healthiest and at my fittest weighing 30lbs less than I do now, so I had to actually lie to the game to make it suggest weight loss goals to me. I had to tell the game I was 30lbs heavier than I am, and 2 inches shorter. I don't think a game should decide for you if you should lose or maintain weight; that should be a personal decision and you should be able to adjust goals accordingly.
The way of keeping track of calories is pretty cute, selecting options from a list and feeding your little avatar person. What I don't like about it, is that the calorie content of the options is very generalized, estimating calorie content for the different food options. I'd like to be able to enter in my own calories if it differs from what it presented. Also, I wish there was an option to judge your diet based on nutrition and healthy choices, not just calorie counting.
I've had the game for about 3 days now, and it really isn't bad for being the first one like this on the DS. It's not as comprehensive as I'd hoped, but it's good for what it is. I agree with the other review that said they should release a second one with more customization options.
 fun way to exercise August 25, 2008

A fun way to exercise and watch what your eating. The pedometer works great, keeping it on all day shows how many steps you do on a given day. The eating journal asks for honesty when supplying your daily intake. The only problem is not using it every day. Overall an excellent support for weight loss!
 A Great Addition to the Rest of the Fitness Games and Gadgets! August 22, 2008
K. George-bol (Wausau, WI USA)
My husband got this game (and the DS to play it!) after he saw me oooing and aaaing over it in the Best Buy ad. Played it first thing and I have been playing it for five days now. I think it's adorable and handy. It's reminded me twice to take food out of the freezer for dinner as one of the daily challenges (I'd forget my head if it wasn't attached so my husband's getting better meals). It makes me motivated to walk more, use my Wii Fit more and use my YourselfFitness game more. It also makes me more motivated to watch what and when I eat. I plan on using it until it no longer functions (which will be years, I'm hoping). Add it to your collection today.

I love this! It's easy, it's fun! The tips are helpful, but most of all it is so much fun I stay with it. You never know what the next challenge will be or what reaction you will get from your workout pal.
Motivator and Helpful to an extent August 9, 2008
P. Hancock
It is interesting to keep track of daily food intake and exercise so that I can see where I need to make improvements. However, there need to be improvements in the game. The food intake guide is very limited so you cant get a real accurate count of calories. Also the fitness input is limited. If you are just looking for an assistance for motivation this is a good "game" to purchase. But if you are looking for precise details, you may not be pleased.
