Teen Weight Loss Success Story

This typical 17-year-old boy was always playing a popular video game. His weight was about 235 lbs. But after four and a half years of playing the said video game, he now weights about 140 lbs.

How much a game can affect health and weight concerns? Just helping to feel better and be more self-confident. Before this, he was a quite inactive and not used to combat activities.

Although the kid was active as a member of orchestras or animations, he didn't regularly get out for exercise. And slowly he became really unhappy because of his overweight losing confidence. The Internet became a way to escape and avoid facing people in person because of his appearance.

His life in college became increasingly unbearable which made him gain even more weight. Finally around October of 2002, a new version DDR USA was released that contained new songs to dance to. He tried the game out and became addicted to the video entertainment with a high activity rate. He began to play almost every day for hours and hours.

Then he subscribed to the official website where people could meet online and chat about the game. He started to have regular friends through this channel that persuade him to play more frequently and for hours in a row. He began losing lots of weight.

After six months of playing, he was able to lose 45 lbs with any diet. Thanks to this weight loss, he started to be motivated and made healthy changes in his life such as following a more healthy diet, and lost an additional 20 lbs.

Regularly playing and following a healthy diet allowed this teen to keep a healthy weight than seemed to be impossible to achieve before. This weight loss was a real success, all because the kid enjoyed  playing a videogame that changed his life.
