Patrick must be huge. Living a healthy lifestyle is a very good idea. Not doing so catches up with you eventually, although it can take decades. I’m surprised that you’re as tall as 5′7″.

I'm in your boat, I'm "underweight" (I'm one of those tall skinny dudes), so I started working out to see if I could put on some muscle mass and it was really satisfying to see it charted out for me on a daily basis. Plus because it's a game it didn't feel like a chore at all turning on my Wii and playing it for a half-hour or more a day. If you have family or friends who also use it, it's surprisingly fun to try and beat their high scores. I had a "balance-off" with a coworker and she had the high score on the "Ultimate Balance Test" game for a week. I vowed to improve my balance and eventually overtook her. Yes!

The uses you mentioned seem pretty reasonable but in the end if you want to throw a video online every now and again, what the hell. I'm sure it couldn't be any worse than the agonizingly vapid videos that a certain well-known, blonde, "lifecaster" puts up continually. I wouldn’t put too much thought into it one way or the other.

We can all stand to live vicariously through other people when they commit themselves to something. Looking forward to more. I just wish I had my own Wii. Although if I did, I'd probably never go to another lecture (or class) ever again. Somewhat counter-productive. Great idea.

With that cowardly disclaimer out of the way, I will just say that I want Veronica to be healthy and happy, don't care what the numbers say. ...now Ryan on the other hand! I about fell out of my chair laughing when I saw 20,000+ people selected "Yeah, dude seriously needs it" from poll that asked "Do you want Ryan to get off his ass and track his Wii Fit progress for a month?". So funny!

Better to use body fat percentage as well as a simple "inches" test. Get one of those cloth measuring tapes and measure belly, thighs, upper arms, etc. These will be a better measurement of fat loss than your actual weight. BTW, I have been following your Twitter and just think about that burrito truck when you are working out! Motivation . . . To echo what Christian says, though, you look great already, so it is more about fitness level than body shape.

OBESE!! OK, maybe she was insane, but I do certainly need more muscle mass. @Vance - no, you’re right! a trainer once actually told me that i was close to the “obese” side because i have so little muscle!!
