Hello, So here is the deal, I know from past experiance that I am the type of person that needs support and I do well at supporting others. I need to lose about 100 lbs or a little more. I need a real life diet that I can deal with...((easy to follow plan))

I am also looking to use the Wii Fit as a tool in my plan. I would loooovvvee to meet others with the same goals as me or are using the wii fit.

looking forward to a healthier 2009 together!

hi!! i got the wii for christmas and i have the jillian michaels ultimatum but i have yet to get the fit... everyone is sold out!!! i have a bowflex treadclimber though, thats a pretty solid workout and a recumbant bike and a rebounder and lots of weights, but i have yet to consistently use all of them.
i too need motivating buddies, i just worry because my schedule is so hectic i don't want to disappear for a few days and lose the comaradarie.
i like videos, pilates, cardio, dance, whatever but i find that when they are too easy i don't feel like i've spent my time wisely but if they are too hard and i can't keep up then i feel like a failure.
really, i have lots of excuses and i need someone to remind me that thats all they are... you up for That challenge???

I'd luv to get a WII fit. We have a WII, and I like the base ball and bowling. This time I am serious about losing some weight as well as body fat. I want to tone this ole body, and get fit. I was in good shape at one time, but I kinda got lazy after moving back to REZ! NOW i need to get in shape, so I look good for my 40th anniversary! With the LORd's help,, this time I will succeed!!

I've got Wii Fit and love it! It's one of the tools I'm using as well to lose 60-65lbs. The best thing about it is that my family can be involved too...my little ones love trying the activities along side of me.

What's your favorite activities so far? How long do you play and how often? I'm averaging between 30-60 minutes 3 times a week. My goal is to do it daily. It's getting started. Once I get on and start playing, the time just flies, it's so much fun! I've got all but 3 activities left to open. My favorites so far are the step aerobic workouts and the boxing.

I have a Wii fit- and a 6 month old baby!!! When I hit my 6 weeks post-partum point, I was an everyday, first thing in the morning Wii fit user. I was so proud of myself- but that only lasted a week. I am learning that I love sleep more than I love exercising on the Wii. Maybe we can motivate each other. I used my Wii again this past week for about 30 minutes. It was really fun- and I even got my two year old to dance with my while I did the step aerobics activity. Let me know what your favorite activities are!

I have the Wii Fit and love it. I used it daily then just stopped. The Wii will be one of the tools I use regarding my weight loss plan. Now if I could just get the food together I will be fine.

Hi, I'm new to the community. I don't have the wii fit yet but it sounds great. I too need some buddies to help me keep on track. I joined the gym, but my job is pretty challenging and I hope not to lose momentum and make excuses like "I just don't have time to work out". I have at least 60 pounds I need to lose and would enjoy being buddies.

I also have the wii fit and I just received the "My personal trainer" for the wii for xmas. I would love to join a group that could help me keep motivated and to hopefully motivate others as well. I need to lose at least 30 lbs. and would love to be a buddie.

Hi, I also have 100 + lbs to loose. I have a WII bot not the Fit yet. I do have a new gym membership though :) I'm here if anyone needs a buddie!

YaHoo - I got the wii fit and the Julian Michaels for xmas and love it so far. I know that my DH had to go online to get the wii fit, because it was sold out in our area. I tend to get bored very easily, so this has really helped me keep things changing up. There is also a "personal trainer" for the wii fit. I didn't get it, because it is essentially the same as the one for the xbox and I already have it. Would love to share expereinces using it with others!

Hi:
I have over 100 pounds to loose also, I am fortunate that my husband has the same amount to loose. We decided that it is time to get healthy, he is on the cusp of Type II diabetes and the doctor said I am the healthiest obese person he has ever seen but I know down the road that will change this is the year for a new me I am doing it for me that is the key. Hope to hear from you I would love to help in helping others. Have a awesome day.

Wii fit is awesome... however (this is totally depressing) I have gained so much weight over the holidays that I am too heavy for the balance board. I found this out last night as was totally discouraged... So now i have to lose enough weight to be able to play Wii fit....My friend told me about "My Fitness Coach" for the Wii. She really likes it and I think I'm going to get that. Its like a customized work out show and I think it keeps tracks of your workouts. Nice to know other people work out using video game systems...

Hello Everyone!

I just received a Wii and Wii fit for Christmas and have been doing it every day since. I love it and want to continue loving it and staying engaged so I'd love to have some buddys to work out with. I have 50-60 pounds to lose and enjoy all of the sports...especially the boxing! Let's connect!

Hang in there awaynot!

Hi! Amy from the 2009 N. Body Challenge here. I got wii just before xmas. and i bought the jillian video - i was totally disappointed in it. i thought it was really stupid. The only game of all the stuff i tried that was any kind of a work out was the tennis on the original dvd that came with the player. am i missing something???? i haven't bought the balance board yet, but i'm not sure i want to.

signofbalance

Hey there girl! My father in law just bought me one. I need more support than anything. I am tired of living 100 pounds overweight. I need to change my life or I won't have one long. I am 32 and live in Las Vegas NV..

awaynot

So i splurged today on a new pair of workout shoes and the "My fitness coach" for Wii and EXERCISED!!! Woo hooo... the game is definitely a WORK OUT...kinda cheesy but might keep me motivated
