A 38 year-old mum-of-two has lost eight stone in a year, and it’s all down to Wii Fit.

The self-confessed “beached whale”, who used to weigh 18 stone, said Wii Fit saved her life and improved her sex life.

Lara Roberts, from Farnborough, Hants, lost the weight by stepping on and off Nintendo’s Balance Board for an hour a day.

She’s gone from size 22 to size 10 in a year.

She was too embarrassed about her weight to visit a gym or go out jogging, so she bought Wii Fit.

Now she’s nine-and-a-half stone and reckons her 15-year-old daughter’s friends fancy her.

She said: “I’ve become a real exhibitionist. And the best thing is the improvement in my sex life.

“As far as I’m concerned the Wii Fit saved my life.”
