I want to let everyone know about a new project I’ll be embarking upon in the very near future. I hope you’ll join along.

I’m currently in the process of setting up Wii Fit Project, a site where I will conduct the following experiment: “How much weight can a 35 year old designer who’s 40 pounds overweight lose just by playing Wii Fit for at least 30 minutes every night for 2 months?”

I will keep a running diary of my activity and my progress. There will be lots of pictures and video, and hopefully they will start a bit flabby and end leaner and meaner.

Set a bookmark now for wiifitproject.com and make sure to subscribe to the RSS feed. The experiment will begin as soon after May 21st (the US release date for Wii Fit) as possible. If Nintendo or any other party is willing to supply me with an advance copy of Wii Fit I will begin the project sooner.

Wish me luck.

Good luck! I’ll be really curious to see if you make gains in stuff like balance and core stability too.

You better believe I’ll be in on this too. I pre-ordered mine a couple of weeks ago…

Alright, the time has come to add your two cents to the matter... awesome. The more the merrier, I say. However, before you go half-cocked and act like a total douchebag on this site, make note that I reserve the right to edit or remove any comments that are abusive or spam-like in nature (although I am fairly lenient). Having said that, I'll leave you to it. Go get 'em, tiger.
