Anyone want to join me in losing weight with WiiFit? Join the fun!

[Disney1fan2002]

I am so excited! I can have fun with my kids, and lose weight at the same time.

I know people say it is not the same as actually GETTING OUT there to exercise, but I am going to use it as a motivator.

Anyone with me?

My 1st goal is to lose ten pounds by June 20th.

ETA: I changed the title of the thread. Tomorrow has come and gone.

Sign me on too. I have lost 15lbs to date and have a total of 50 to loose. I would love to get 10 off before we leave on the 24th of June. Today is my Birthday and DH and sons are getting me the Wii fit by request ( and also gave me a beautiful pair of diamond earings.

It comes available here on Wednesday. Lets give it out best shot.

Did anyone else go to the store at 8am only to find out that they aren't selling them until the 21st? I am very frustrated with Nintendo's website saying the release date was today!!

When I pre-ordered, I noticed the date said May 20th on the paper. The manager told me it was the release date. He then explained the STREET date was May 21st. LOL

So, I would of made the same mistake, but I got clarification ahead of time.

On the Today SHow on Friday they kept saying it would be out today, I don't know why.

I found out that it IS out today, if you can go to the Nintendo World store in NYC. The rest of us are still waiting until Wednesday. I wish Nintendo would have clarified that on their website.

Did anyone get it today... if so how was it. I am thinking about getting it but not sure.

 

[MomofCKJ]

I had preordered on Amazon and my email today says it shipped and will be here Wednesday. I am excited to try it out!

I want one, lol!

I'm going to talk DH into buying a WII - DS has been wanting one and then getting the WIIfit as my Mother's Day Present - still haven't figured what to get - I think this may be it - sounds fun.

Ok.. here to be painfully honest. I need to lose at least 40 lbs. The Wii fit says, Hey..you're overweight. Ummm...yeah...don't remind me!
But then, it says I am actually 11 years older than I really am!!

My son that is 6' 1" tall. 147 lbs, it says is perfect, but he that his body is weaker than it should be.

My DD is obese, ok, we knew that, and now she is depressed. She is 22 and has been fighting with depression for years. Now this. I was hoping it would encourage all of us to get healthier. I hope she comes around to it.

My Dh's family has a history of diabetes and I don't want her to be there.

This is going to be a fun challenge. I love the ski part of the game! Woo Hoo!

Good luck everyone!!! Are we checking in weekly?

I'm in. This is actually a harder workout than I expected. I figured you were definately going to have to do more along with wii fit but I think at least for the beginning wii fit will be enough. I"ve done 28 minuts on it so far today but plan on doing more.

What's everyone's favorite activities?
Hula Hoop
Run/jog
table tilt
ski jump

I haven't tried the yoga yet but it looks ok, and I need to do more of the strength training stuff. I mostly did the Aerobic exercises.

I set my goal at 20lbs by the end of Aug (3months) But I'm thinking I should have set smaller goals..it goes by every 2 weeks though so in 2 weeks I can change my goal I think it said I need to lose 3.something every 2 weeks which sounds very doable.

I was set at obese (5ft6, 200.4lbs) and my fit age was 45 (I'm 28, lol)

I am totally in on this. I am doing the C25K in addition, and on my off days, I have been doing pilates. I was afraid the Wii Fit wouldn't be a "workout" so I did my pilates video first today. Wow! Factor in the Wii, and I did 1 1/4 hours of exercise tonight! It was so much fun. I love the hula hoop. I was doing it barefoot tonight, and I really need my sneakers to feel better about the running. It said I am obese (no crap!), but hey, who am I kidding?

 

[Disney1fan2002]

I have mine and have set up my profile. OK, I am OBESE....and I just loved how my mii blew up like a ballon after I weighed in. LOL. I thought she was going to burst.

My DS12 is playing it right now. He is enjoying it. I am going to use it for the 1st time when the kids are in school. I don't need them laughing at me.

OK, so what did everyone put in for their two week goal? I put that I want to lose 5 pounds in 2 weeks. The Wii said it should be 3, but I ignored it's advice.

I think we should check in here very two weeks to match with the WiiFit timing. What do you think?

My 1st 2 weeks goal....5 pounds.

I will make a master list of everyone's goal if you want.

 

[Disney1fan2002]

my fit age was 45 (I'm 28, lol)

My fit age is 48 and I am 40, is that good?

Count me in too! DD and I just picked up our Wii Fit today, and we are loving it! I knew I was obese--there was no question about that fact--but I didn't know how my recent/current exercise had affected my overall physical health until today. I'm 40 years old, and my fit age is 36! Woo hoo! I still have over 90 pounds to lose altogether, which means I'm VERY obese, but I will certainly have fun adding the Wii workouts to my daily exercise routine. I love the hula hoop, the step workouts, and the tightrope walk. I did over an hour on the Wii Fit today, and I certainly worked up a good sweat. On my 2nd try, I clocked 297 rotations on the hula workout. Woo hoo! Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

 

[mackeyapp]

We got ours too!! Our two DS were up bright and early this am to use it before going to school. I haven't set up mine yet, I too wanted to be alone to do that. I know it won't be pretty. I want to join in on this goal setting. We leave for DW on June 24th and would love to get 10lbs off of the 50+ that need to go. Good luck everyone!!

YOU GO GIRL! Wow, for someone who is 90 pounds overweight, you are in good shape. I need to lose 85 pounds, and I managed a whopping 8 minute workout this morning. Idid the hula hoop (50 spins was my max) and the running. After that I was WIPED. I had fun though, and if I were out running on the street, I would not have had the amusement the Wii gave me.

Whoever created this concept is a genius.
