    Haha, no, I think someone else just explained it more than I did :wink: So I'll help you figure it out a little...click on the green box with the arrow (the one in the middle, not the bottom), then put in your weight in KG....then click the green button to go to the next screen (the one right under where you put your weight in)....then use the pics to choose your exercise...then put in how long you did it for with the arrows (in mins)....then click the green button to go to the next page, and voila, there are your calories burned =0) It can be a bit confusing but it at least gives you the jist of it. I hope this helps, sorry to have not given you much info before :bigsmile: Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    Hi all,

    Hula Hoop best score for the week is 278.

    I don't think I will get to do the hula hoop again before Tuesday as my kids are "demanding" I go jogging with them tomorrow morning as they train for sports. Now, that I can do the Island Lap for 10 minutes, they want to drag me down the road with them.

    Some friends are having swim party tomorrow evening to escape from our 100 degree plus heat spell.

    As far as my goal of doing it 4 x a week for 30 each 2 aerobics and 2 yoga/strength goes I will make that. I've done 2 yoga/strength days and 1 aerobics and Monday I will do my last aerobic day for the week.

    Today is our family movie/dinner event. We try to do that every couple of months. I've been looking up the menus on the internet for where we are going and it doesn't look promising. I just hope it taste really good for the calories it will use up.

    Good Luck everyone with the weekend!

    Hi, I am fairly new - The 15th is when I joined. Good luck to you! Just wanted to mention that we are at about the same weight right now and both need to be at 130-135. We can do it! I have done it before just need to get that baby weight off. My son just turned 17 yesterday and my newest is 1 so, I need drop another 35 or so....

    Currently I am at 169 and need to be at 135 possibly lower. I am loving this site. I would really like to get the Advance for my wii. I love the regular wii but need to vary up my routine. I do Kettlebells and wii and have been doing them since December. Going to check out the WiiFitRoutine site and see what that's all about.

    Good luck with all of your workouts! :happy:

    not sure if you're aware of dottie's weight loss zone (dwlz.com) it's more for weight watchers but it lists lots of restaurants and most of their meals and what the point values would be. i'm not sur eif it would help you or not but it's worth a try to check out!

    ok i must've done something wrong because it's saying i burned like 3500 calories which isn't true. i did about an 1.5 hrs on wii fit that's not nearly enough for that many calories! LOL but i was writing down the amounts as they were being given so i got a pretty good idea. is this pretty accurate? i did do a lot but i came up with 944 and that seems way too high! i'm not complaining but it's just weird. maybe i'll try it again and see what it says. thanks so much for going through it step by step for me! :) you're a great wii fit teammate! :glasses:

    i figured out what i did wrong...on the ones where you can choose the reps (like the tricep ext) and the length of time ones (like the boxing) i'd click on the reps or the time then i'd put in the amount of time i did in minutes which really was supposed to be the times you did that many reps or that many minutes! LOL well at least i figured it out and i got a way more accurate amount of 501 calories! :smile: thanks for telling me about this!

    Is it too late to join? I have a Wii fit and was using it daily for my workouts but since I have had the summer off I have been going to the gym with the kids. I go back to work next week and will be moving back to using the Wii for most, if not all of my workout as it is tough most days to get to the gym with the kids.

    Also, how do you log your calories burned/exercises for the Wii?

    Thanks:)

    I just got my wii and wii fit yesterday and am ready to get started. I was going to post on here for help/suggestions when I say this posting. My goal is to lose 20 pounds and I have been walking/jogging on my treadmill but was getting bored.
    Is it too late to join?

    I only got in one day at 45 mins this week, the 30 Day Shred has been killing me, and my knees so I've needed a lot of recoup time....Hopefully better this week.
    Oh and it's never too late to join,set your own goals and we check in on Tuesdays.
    Welcome :flowerforyou:

    I have been so so so bad lately. My work schedule has been all out of whack so I've really been a slacker on the exercise. So I need to get back to it.

    is the Hula hoop challenge finished? If so, what's the next one going to be? :smile:

    Maybe we could do a step one.

    I'm so bad at thinking things like this up. Ugh

    So do you want to make it like the hula hoop one? See who can get the most points in the least amount of time?

    I think maybe Advanced Step would be better? And then if you wanted to do Free Step also . . .

    I've had a Wii fit for the past year, and I've grown bored with it. I'd lilke to join this "club'. I have also just bought the Wii fit active, so I'll be incorporating that into my workout as well. Did I understand that the check in date is on Tuesdays?

    My goal would be to lose 30 pounds by November.

    I am trying to go in small steps and just look towards the ten pounds. I have a wedding dress I ABSOLUTELY need to get into by next summer. It's a size 10 and I'm not there yet.

    I'm hoping this Wii fit group will help get me there, along with all the other great support I get from you great people on this site.

    bit confused - i can't find advanced step. :frown:
    in the aerobics section there is step basics and step plus and free step.
    Was it the step plus you mean? Or is there an advanced step that i haven't unlocked yet?

    I think it's the step plus. I'll have to check.

    Don't know if Wii Fit has changed their programming. For me it is Advanced Step that had to be unlocked after doing a certain amount of Basic Step and achieving certain scores.

    kaja Posts: 145 Member
    Maybe its called different things in different countries. I'm in the UK.
    But your advanced step sounds like step plus - the one under step basics.

    My highest step score so far is 336. I found out that if you point your toes and make your hands into fists when you kick (in advanced step), you'll get "Perfect" every time!:wink:

    I just found the part of Wii Fit where you can log your exercises, but I'm a little confused. It says I exercised for twice as many minutes as I actually did.

    Also did Dance Dance Revolution on the Wii and got to "Expert" level.:smile:

    Welcome back Frank!
    I will admit I haven't done the step yet, did 30 Day Shred instead today. I find if I kick really high on those ones tho I always get perfect, and I really feel it in the butt later :blushing:
    I still haven't found where to log your exercises, but I know what you mean. The minutes that they add up for you on screen are less than the actual time you work out (I've timed it because I swore I was on it longer than it said and was right). I think it's because they don't take into account the time you're in the menu screen and doing your body test etc. Is that what you mean?
    I'm very intrigued about this Dance Dance Revolution, I keep hearing about it. You rec recommend it I assume? I like to mix things up so I don't get bored :bigsmile:
