He bought a WII active and did the workouts religiously. He never missed a scheduled workout, even when he had to miss something important.

We purchased the exact same thing and she was all gun-ho on it for about 2 weeks but once she saw no changes she gave up. She's also got a membership to a gym and fitness classes and again, 2 weeks max and since the scale says nothing, she gives up.

It's the little things that add up, and it's not quick and it's not easy. He lost 100 pounds in a year and has maintained that weight loss since then. He now has the ego to match, but you know... He started off ordering a book that he saw a guy talking about on Nightline. Reading that got him started. If you are interested I'll ask him about him.

Sure anything to help would be great thank you.

The uplifting feeling you may get from losing lots of weight very quickly will not keep the weight off and will not mean that you are healthy. It's not as much a psychological problem as it is physical. There is a lot of evidence to support this. I do have links for studies.
That said, do not spend your money on this. I'm sorry but that website screams bad news to me. I guarantee you it will be a waste of money in the long term, you may even worsen her health or yours.
If your wife wants to get healthy and you want to help then you should do it together. Get a gym membership and a trainer if you can, get a nutritionist or invest in books that are not about fad diets or exercise programs. I will be happy to recommend books, websites and other resources if you'd like.
I repeat, do not spend your money on this company. I don't want to lengthen my essay by listing everything about this website that bothers me, it's a long list.

I would take any references/information/recommendations you have for her of course. I also understand your trepidation about the business -- I can vouch that it is a legit enterprise -- whether it is worth it or not is entirely different.
