My Weight Loss Coach

I am trying out My Weight Loss Coach for the Nintendo DS. I'm finding it surprisingly charming! Far from being an instructional workout program or a series of checklists, it's a very interactive all-round health coach. It comes with a pedometer that I wore all day today during my big walk (7500 steps).

It gives you little daily challenges, ranging from "eat a piece of cheese" to "jog until you see an animal". Plus, there are a bunch of mini-quizzes and unlockables that keep you motivated. Over it all, it monitors your weight, daily activity, what you eat, and probably more (which I have to unlock), and a little stick-man teaches and encourages throughout. I like that little guy. So far...
