    WOW! We've got a lot of new people this month and to all of you welcome!

    This thread has changed month to month as the needs of the group have changed, so it's really up to all of us if we want to have daily posting or weekly checkins. So it's up to all of us here how formal we are.

    I'm for everyone posting as often as they can or want to. For me I do better if I post or at least read all the posts everyday. But, with work, kids, etc it can be hard to get on everyday.

    Yesterday I shovelled snow for 1.5 hours and was too tired to do more that 20 minutes free step at the middle pace. I hope to do more today and I should be back on track Tuesday. Tomorrow as long as everyone feels OK my kids and I will be skiing. On Tuesday we are all back to work and school.

    Skiing! I hope everyone does feel okay and that you guys enjoy yourself!
    For me today, I did not get any Wii in, but I did: run 2 miles, attend Zumba, and reorganize the office furniture in my office for the entire morning! And if that is not a workout, I don't know what is!

    Enjoy the rest of your day, it's bedtime for me here. Good night to all! :yawn: (And I seriously yawn, wow, it really is contagious! :laugh:

    Did 1 hr of WF+, burned 376 cals. Was being lazy.

    Also burned about 50 cals doing church duties (delivering rolls to classes, and running errands for people in charge-- lots of scurrying around)

    Well I took some time off over the holidays but am back and ready to lose the weight!!! I have a wii fit and am looking to buy the fit plus or the active. I also am working out at my in-laws gym starting tomorrow on Monday's and Wednesday's. I am also looking at what they call "mommy boot camp" here and it's MWF for 1 hour. I have heard it's pretty tough so I may try it. But my goal on the wii is to get on it M-F for at least 30 minutes a day. Hopefully I can keep that up! Best of luck everyone!

    Didn't reach my goal yesterday but managed to get an hour in today. Ran for 11 minutes, did the Hula Hoop for 10 minutes 2x and lots of other stuff! Great fun, don't even know I am working out. Also went for a 2.5 mile run / walk today and did outdoor stuff, heavy stuff for 7 hours. I am surprisingly not tired though.

    Brand new here.. Just got Wii Fit Plus and EA Active is on order. Goal 30 mins/5 times a week. Question though- how does one increase activity level/length? I can only do short runs, 3 minutes rhythm boxing, etc. Do I have to reach a certain level before it lets me increase? Thanks!

    I have the Wii fit Plus and the Biggest loser for Wii fit. I just started using the Biggest Loser for Wii yesterday and like it alot. Im doing a 4 week challenge to see how much I can drop in that time.

    Im looking forward to having other wii buddies and hearing what you are using. I love the wii fit plus and have really gotten into the games, but it seems like the workouts for the Biggest loser one are a little more "challenging". Maybe its just Jillian.. LOL who knows!

    I just got Wii sport and plan on getting Fitness Plus, Am recovering from internal surgery in November and knee surgery in December so am easing back into workouts. I am a very active person slowed down by some health issues but back again in 2010. Losing weight to help knees and to feel better. Will follow to see how folks are using their Wii Plus so I can learn and enjoy it. I also checked out EA (learned of it reading your posts so thank you) and may move to that as recovery permits. I am happy to have found this group.

    Welcome Penelope, yes, once you work to the point of achieving 3 or 4 stars (I think 3 can open it), then it will unlock the next level. It goes up to 10 mins. Have fun.

    Hi All....and sorry Jeannie, I was on vacation down in New Orleans. I was very bad, gained 5 pounds and had a great time! I am back to being good today. I had plans to walk 5 miles today after work, but it may be the Wii after all!!!

    I started my morning with 30 mins on my Wii then ended my workday with a 2 mile run and 10 min walk on the treadmill at a 15% incline. I'm treating myself to desert tonight, so excited! :happy:

    Hopefully, I will sleep well! Everyone, have a great fit day!

    I am working out with the Wii Fit Plus. My goal is to work out a minimum of 5 days a week and meet my calorie goal of 455 calories burned each day. Most of the time I start with the 30 minute run.

    Thanks! I was wondering how people manage 30 minute routines :) It will take a while for me I bet, I am horribly uncoordinated...
    I wish I knew what each exercise's goal was. Some are straightforward, but others I can't figure out. In running I get 4 stars for just jogging...in rhythm boxing I get two stars for (I think) following the routine, not sure what I am doing wrong. I am sure with time I will get used to it and figure it out.

    Plugging through lunch right now. Walked a mile this morning. Plan on slamming through 3 rounds of Expert Rhythm Boxing & 4 Advanced Rhythm Kung Fu.

    Anyone want to try to beat my score of 1387 on Rhythm Boxing & 840 on Advanced Kung Fu? It'll be fun!

    I was able to get in an hour both Sat & Sun on the wii plus. I love the run and the cycling, and the step aerobics. Set up my 30 min routine for yoga and strength and then do the other stuff!!! I work off about 235 calories in the hour it says!! :) Then I will be doing my Curves work outs every week-day!

    See ya!

    I just got a Wii and the Wii fit. I plan to start using it next week, (when everyone is back in school and work). Do you feel the workouts, (sore, and sweaty)?

    So does everyone like the Wii Fit? I am thinking about getting it after I confiscate my son's Wii. He doesn't use it any more!

    Val, I am dripping sweat at the end of my WF+ workout if that answers your question. I do Expert Rhythm Boxing 2-3 times. I have Wii BL, too, and yes, it's a great workout as well!

    Day 1 of my 30 challenge on The Biggest Loser game complete! Plus, for good measure, I threw in 25 minutes of Just Dance.

    My BL challenge has me off tomorrow, so I'll probably get to testing out WF+ and some more Just Dance on my off days - just because it's fun!

    I love my Wii. :)
