I thought I would just answer your questions. 1.) I wear a HRM because the Wii is inaccurate in telling you how many calories you burn (and how much you weigh). I use it for about 45-60 minutes and burn approx 610 calories. I am down to 170ish pounds and I am still able to burn that many calories each time. I have lost…

Hey, I can’t tell you what is ultimately going to be the right thing for you, but I can tell you what has worked for me. I started at about the same weight as you and I just started by doing 30 minutes on the stationary bike every single day. I worked my way up to 45 minutes every day. It took me more than 6 months to feel…

After having gone a while without daily exercise it has been a great first week using my new Wii Fit Plus. I have been burning a good amount of calories (about 600 a day) and haven’t gotten bored. I actually have been getting excited to go home and workout. I hope I am able to stick to this to lose the rest of the weight.…

Just got a Wii just for the Wii Fit Plus last week. I started to gain some weight back when I got bored with my exercise routine and quit smoking. I got a really cool heart rate watch and calorie counter and am ready to go. Last night I did 25 minutes on my exercise bike and 25 minutes on the Wii. It felt really good.…

YAY! That is so great!

We all have the ability. We just have to stick with it. And yes I feel like a new, happier, healthier version of myself. It has changed my life. I'm not there yet, but I have no more doubt in myself. Thanks everyone! <3

Thanks!

You look great!

Hi understand what everyone is saying. I am now 26, but when I was 25 at the end of 2008 I was soooo frustrated with my body, my life, how clothes fit, how I didn't feel like I looked professional. Since December of 2008 I really kicked it into gear. It has been a bit over a year now and I have lost around 90 pounds. I…

Thanks!:smile:

I’m in! I only need to lose about 20 more and these last 20 are going to be killer. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter My starting weight (12/01/2008) – 250 My current weight (01/03/2010) – 160 Feb 16th goal – 150 April 5th goal – 140 My Final Goal

Thank you sooo much for the encouragement. I really should start blogging on here. I do need to get rid of the sugar, because I see what you mean and it is the first thing I grab for. I am going food shopping today and I'll make sure to get more fruit than normal and to stock up on healthy alternatives. Maybe I will take…

Thanks. It has been a long hard journey, but I am soo glad I have stuck to it. Even with all of my physical issues, I have managed to overcome a lot.

I need a group or someone to be accountable to. I was working out every single day for a while. Then I hurt my knee and had to stop for a few weeks. Almost two weeks ago I got the okay from the doctor, but I haven’t started the same pattern yet. I really need to work out every day or I will end up with a lot of extra skin.…

Thanks!

I have been getting great results. The problem is that now that I am getting closer, I usually tend to feel so great I think I am at some sort of stopping point. I really need to keep going. I want to be able to go into a clothing store and have to walk out because they don't have my size. At least I don't have to worry…

That's okay. I had company this past week and need to make sure I keep the motivation to pick up where I left off.

I have been using the site for a while, but lately I find that I need some motivation. I thought that I should get on the message boards to read how other people are doing. I am doing pretty good. I started the first week in December and have lost about 51 pounds. Alyson
