"Thanks to Pokemon Go, I lost weight"

#PokemonGO: I'm by no means fat or anything, but definitely overweight if you consider my BMI and growing beer belly. I haven't exercised at all since I started university like 5 years ago. I was out of shape, started to not fit in most of my pants... I decided it was time to exercise.A few times I tried getting into jogging and working out, but I usually give up after a few days because it was always too hard.Recently however, I started playing Pokemon Go. I started talking longer routes to work, walking to all my bus stops instead of getting lifts. I started eating less and eating healthier.I decided to give it another shot: went jogging with the app running in the background to clock in egg kilometres. I felt so good after my runs that I started working out; doing pushups, situps, squats, stretching more, etc.The first few days were hard, but the game kept me motivated. Just last week, I walked+jogged more than 50 kilometers. And after 3 weeks, I lost almost 5kg which is INSANE for me.I don't plan on stopping anytime soon and hope one day that I get to a point where daily exercise comes naturally to me, without having to run pokemon go in the background.If someone ever asks me how to motivate oneself to exercise, I'll tell them to install pokemon go on their phone. via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/2GPZiSl
