Good Morning Everyone and Happy Weigh In Day :laugh: To those of you who have already weighed in - excellent job! You're doing great. I normally weigh in with another group (a Christmas one) on Wednesdays, but until it is over, I am also going to weigh in on the Saturdays as well. I was doing good all week until yesterday!…

I hope that you're feeling better soon - it seems like a lot of people I know are sick right now! It's so hard not to catch it.

I just bought a wii and wii fit plus last weekend. I absolutely love it!!! I love the running, step arobics and hula hooping. I find the best part is that I will get wrapped up in the games and time flies. Plus, I don't feel so much like I'm working out. I also love yoga, so I find that the yoga on it is really helping me…

Everyone is doing EXCELLENT with their water!!!! :bigsmile: I'm so proud of you all!!!! I got all my water in yesterday - most of it wasn't until the evening - but I got it all! Tomorrow is weigh in day! Hope everyone's excitied! I find that when I keep up with my water, I seem to always have a better weight loss :wink:

Personally, I don't worry to much about going over the protein. From everything that I have read on here, it is set quite low. I use the number more as a minimum than a maximum. But, that's just me...

Hello hello! I did really bad with the fruit challenge last week - but I did drink all my water. I lost 3 pounds this week, so I am down to 155.4. I'm very happy about that :bigsmile: Have a great week everyone!:flowerforyou:

I know what you mean about the peeing! I used to also have to get up about 4 times a night b/c of how much water I was drinking. However, my body seems to have gotten used to and now I only have to get up once and it's only about once a week that that happens. I hope everyone has a great day! Can't wait to be a bikini babe…

Welcome to our group:happy: I always read different things about green tea. Some people include it, as it is made with water. However, it has caffeine in it, and caffeine dehydrates you, so some people will not include it as their water intake. Myself, I love green tea. So, although I do drink it, I still make sure to…

This sounds SO good! Thanks for the recipe! Double chocolate fudge.. with banana and peanut butter - DROOL!!! I have vanilla whey protein powder, and I mixed it with water, and didn't really like it. Maybe I will try this recipe with it, and then if I like it (at least more than before) I will try the dbl chocolate fudge!

Good Morning everyone! :flowerforyou: I didn't get a chance to do any exercise on the wii last night:ohwell: But, I will make sure to be doing some tonight! I am very happy with my wii workout - I ended up losing 3 lbs this week (according to my real scale - I will do the wii weigh in tonight) I hope everyone has a great…

Hi Everyone! I did my 1/2 hour of wii fit last night. I love the running... I did the long distance:island map. It usually takes me 6 mins, so I was very excited when in the 2nd run, I made it in 5 mins, for the first time! I was so excited! And exhausted, lol. I also did kung fu, boxing and hula hoops. After that, DH and…

Welcome everyone! I am so glad to many people are still joining. This is great - we should definitely be able to support each other and acheive our goals for summer :smile: How's everyone's water doing today? Yesterday, I did great however, today I haven't done as well. I am going to fill up my water bottle now, so it just…

Hi everyone! :flowerforyou: My goals for November are to use the wii fit plus a minimum of 30 minutes, 6 times a week. I will be switching up between cardio/strength training and yoga. I will also be playing wii sports and other games as exercise as well. I've done great since starting the wii last Sunday - I have lost…

Welcome Diana, it's great you could join us :smile: It sounds like everyone did great with the water challenge yesterday! Way to go! I'm not sure how much water I drank yesterday, but I know that it was more than enough as I was drinking constantly yesterday (I think I may have been a little dehydrated form a Saturday…

Welcome to the newcomers! :smile: Always the more, the merrier! I'm so glad everyone likes the idea of the before and after pictures. I'm going to get DH to take one of me this afternoon. And I am like others, I wouldn't post it now for anything, but I know that once I reach my goal, it will be great to see that I took…

I'm so glad that you have all joined :smile: I was thinking that it would be neat if everyone wanted to take a picture of themselves now to save for summer. Then on June 21, we can post our before and after shots in the group. If you would like to do this? I just think that it would be fun to see the results. So, for week…

Great point!

I know exactly what you mean! I'm forever looking through magazines and wishing... or I WAS anyway. I really noticed it about 2 years ago, when I was planning for my wedding. I would see a model with a dress, and fall in love. Then when I went to a store and tried on the dress, I would feel awful. I didn't look near as…

I was thinking the exact same thing. I absolutely love the little chocolate bars, and I was thinking that if maybe I have some around (for when I REALLY, REALLY want one) then I could have one of these small bars. It's not the greatest thing, but I figure it will at least save me from going to the store and then eating a…

I used to try and think of what I used to do in gym class in elementary school. A lot of the activities are still great now... for muscle toning, you can do push ups and those leg scissor thing, also sit - ups. If you have high ceilings, pick up a jump rope... that is excellent to get the heart pumping. Also, running on…

I figured I would shorten the questions, that way people may have time to answer??? :smile:

Hi everyone! I know that I have been MIA for a few weeks... everything kinda went out the window. But, I am back!!!:laugh: I weighed in yesterday at 158.4 which was up 1.4 lbs since my last weigh in about 4 weeks ago. I've got some work to do! Is this week's challenge to drink all your water? Take care…

Oh, these sound SOOO good! :love: I can't wait to try them.. I am putting it on a must do for the weekend! Thanks for the recipe!

I think that I will try doing the free step while watching tv. That should definitely help. I have been getting up early the last 3 days before work to get in my wii exercise. I spend about an hour doing a run, hula hoops, boxing and a few other exercises. It has been giving me a great workout. And then in the evening I…

Good morning :flowerforyou: Start Date July 15 - 172 Week 1 July 22 - 172 Week 2 July 29 - 170.5 Week 3 August 5 - 170 Week 4 August 12 - 164 (new scale) Week 5 August 19 - 162.2 Week 6 August 26 - 163.2 Week 7 September 2 - 160.0 Week 8 September 9 - 158.8 Week 8 September 16 - 158.2 Week 9 September 23 - 157 Week 15…

Thanks for the welcome! And thank you bethgames for the website - it's great! I would like to commit myself to using the Wii at least 1 hour a day - 5 times a week (45 min wii fit and 15 min playing an active game). Yesterday and Sunday I used it for about 2 hours straight (min. of 1 hr 15min wii fit) and today my body can…

Hello Everyone! I know I have been MIA for a while.. I feel like everything has been so hectic in my life! Work's been crazy busy, then when I get off work I'm constantly busy.. I'm not exercising and not eating right. That is until the past Sunday when I told myself I had to regain control. I feel like ever since it…

Hello Everyone! I just bought a Wii and Wii Fit on Saturday and used it for the first time yesterday. I absoulutely LOVE it!!! I was just wondering if I could please join your group? Thanks!

Thanks for the link! I am definitely going to think about getting one!
