my name is valerie (web name is natural, call me either) and i want my wardrobe back. tired of not being comfortable in my own clothes and looking at a closet full of clothes i can't wear.

i'd also like to be physically fit, be able to walk up a flight of stairs without calling 911 to get my up the rest of the way

i'd like to be able to bend over without my belly fat saying no, no.

i have a wii fit and i'm not afraid to use it. i exercise at home and sometimes during my lunch hour at work. i started working out in the morning because it gives me the most energy.

would like to lose about 15-20 lbs in the process.

    Welcome Valerie from New Jersey! Best wishes for great success!

    I'm Jane from Kansas and I joined about the same time as you did. My target is 24 pounds. I have lost 9, but part of that is because I just spent 4 days in the hospital on NPO (I'm okay now).

    Question for you: Does the Wii really work as an exercise technique? Does it estimate how many calories a particular exercise/activity burns?
