WII Fit Obese Patients

[Guest guest]

I am working with a morbidly obese male teen who loves to game. He has a WII

gaming system and his family purchased WII fit. Because he is over 350 pounds,

the softwarre will not allow him to register and use it.

I do not own one, other clients I have love it. For those of you who own one, is

there any mention of a weight limit?

Best-

Re: Re: hair loss during pregnancy

Raphaela,

In both cases, they were taking TOO MUCH supplementation. For the child,

the mom was giving her a dosage for a child her age, but this kid was

very tiny. In fact, she was taking her to Loma , and they were

testing and testing. I knew the mother well and knew what a huge fan she

was of supplements. Solved the problem.

Same exact thing happened with the adult!
