Weight loss service in Japan offers a virtual wife to nag you

Metaboinfo-com-nagging-wives-weight-loss.jpg
Japanese weight loss site Metaboinfo.com has an interesting way to help you stay on target — a virtual wife that'll nag you to death. The free service of the site offers you one of four wives to choose from — with presumably more if you pay — and you can select and name a giggly maid (oh, Japan!), a cold businesswoman, a loving nurse or a fashion-minded nail artist. You then input your vitals into the site, agree on a diet and health plan, and daily you'll start getting four nag-filled emails from your "wife" that'll be tender or bossy depending on which lady you picked and how you're doing.

Sounds like a blast — and a little ridiculous. Though diets are all about discipline, and it helps to have support, right? Even if it is from a virtual entity.

I would definitely try this if I wasn't already so close to my weight goal.

Eating junk food makes you fat and hefty. One should go for a weight loss program to get rid of the inches beneath your skin. I found a good weight loss program where you can find your self comfortable in shedding the heavy mass

Shouldn't you be out running around if you're trying to lose weight and not sitting @ your pc having your virtual wife nag @ you?

The "loving nurse" one certainly looks a lot like my beloved Cait, but we're already way skinny & she'd never nag me anyway.

Get active. If you have a tread mill try watching tv while speed walking or working up a sweat. Try doing 30 push ups in between commercial breaks, keep your body guessing and keep your body stressing!
