You can buy a different weight resistance band. Look up "Theraband" and you'll find rolls of it in different weights. The one that comes with the game is fairly lightweight. Also, have you changed the difficulty setting yet? I did the 30 day challenge on "easy" the first time, then kicked it up to "medium", so even though…

I lost almost 10 lbs doing another activity, but had no inches change in what I was measuring (though I think my thighs did get a lot smaller). I started C25K, and by the end of week 3, I lost 2" in multiple areas almost overnight! It's a great program.

Purge! If you do start to gain any weight back, you will have nothing to wear and be forced to buy something, thus realizing that you're gaining and that you need to change something about your lifestyle again. ;) The only reason I have ever kept "fat clothes" was because I was still planning pregnancies where I would need…

I also had to stop after the first week because my knees were awful, but I need to try it again now that I've been doing Wii Active regularly and have strengthened my knees to be able to take lunges and things. I googled the issue and found it's a common thing for women to have knee problems from these exercises, and I…

I'm so sorry for your loss. :( My first was a 29 weeker, so I understand the adjusted age thing. He's now 5.5 and you'd never know he was a preemie.

Is this your first baby? Your body shape does change somewhat, like your hips might be a bit wider (the bones spread), etc. I do recommend getting clothes that fit and flatter your body so you'll look good NOW, but also continue to eat right and exercise appropriately. Then as the weight does finally come off, you'll just…

I'm sure it varies by baby. :)

This is what happens to me too... So it's allergies? I just started running a month ago.

Wow, if I did that, I'd be like 1300 calories for my 20 lb baby! LOL. I looked up some info on kellymom.com and found that babies tend to take in the same amount of milk from 1-6 months of age, so it doesn't seem to correlate so much with their size. Here's the page I found: http://www.kellymom.com/bf/pumping/milkcalc.html…

I'm breastfeeding a 9.5 month old (who is just now starting to like solids a bit, but still not taking in much of them). I haven't gotten to the last 10 lbs yet, but I have lost the first 10 lbs pretty easily. I set MFP for losing 1 lb/week and ate my exercise calories. That got me losing about 1.5-2 lbs/week since I…

My friend got it at Sam's, but I don't know if they still have it there or not. I saw it during Christmas. They don't seem to have it listed online. It was part of a set, but I can't remember what all was in the set. The other stuff in the set was somewhat useless, IIRC.

Are you eating your exercise calories?

My friend has it! She loves it. I know the first few times she used it, she was working pretty hard at the Free Step. And she's an active runner, so is used to doing a lot of cardio. I remember we were talking on the phone and she had to get off the phone because it was too much work. :)

I did workout #3 of the 30 day challenge today, despite my legs being a bit sore from Tuesday (when I did workout #2 *and* started Couch25K). I did medium setting again. About an hour later, I did my 2nd Couch25K run. I'm feeling good today! :)

I always did Advanced Step once I unlocked it. Basic is very slow once you have gotten used to it. I actually get bored with Advanced now too. You can do Free Step once it's unlocked (you might have to do Advanced a few times first?). With that, you can specify 10, 20, or 30 minutes (IIRC) to do step at your own pace, and…

I haven't officially added it to my MFP, but I do watch the calories and make sure I get at least 1500, as the recommendation seems to be 1500-1800, depending on how much fat stores you have. I have enough fat stores that I figure I can get away with 1500. :P My MFP goal calories is 1730, and I try to eat my exercise…

Good idea! My goal weight was originally 170, but then I noticed that 169 would put me in the "healthy" BMI range (I'm tall), so I went with that. LOL! Once I meet that goal, I'll make a new goal. But this is what I think is an attainable goal for the moment. I started at 193.5, and I've now lost 8 lbs in the last month!…

Wii fit doesn't have any challenges like that. The 30 day challenge people refer to is EA Sports Active, a different game. The 6 week challenge is EA Sports Active More Workouts, the sequel to EA Sports Active. EA Sports Active can use the Wii Fit balance board, but otherwise they are not related.…

I started a new 30 day challenge in Wii Active today. I'm doing "medium" intensity this time! It was a good workout. A lot of running today! I still can't believe how strong my thighs are after doing this for a month! :) Squats and lunges are much more controlled.

Hey, I'm joining in this thread. I have Wii Fit Plus and EA Active. I just finished my 30 day challenge today, and the last few days I even bumped it up to medium level! Woohoo! I'm going to start another 30 day challenge Monday and try to do it on medium level from the beginning. I'm also adding in more Wii Fit Plus…
