How I lost 20 pounds in Second Life – Hypergrid Business:    
--


"What I did was sign up for Club One’s habit changer program in Second Life.
-

The point of the program is to replace unhealthy habits with healthy ones. The way it works is that you go to the Club One Island in Second Life for four one-hour sessions each week. There is one class that’s all about helping you get more movement into your life. Another one that teaches nutrition principles. There’s one class dedicated specifically to changing habits, and the last class is a support group."

How Club One lowers your weight and blood pressure — virtually – Hypergrid Business:

 "The result was that the the virtual group lost more weight – eight pounds versus six pounds – lost more body fat, and lost more inches around the waist. In addition, more people stuck with the virtual program than the physical one – 25 finished the virtual program, but only 20 completed the physical one."
