About 18 months ago, my wife Laura and I bought a Wii Fit to add to our Nintendo collection.

The thinking was that it may help us loose some weight, while at the same time get us both a little fitter. I did well at the time, and in total I lost about 26 pounds in weight.

Alas, as any of you who have been in the same situation will know, good things never last.

We stopped using the Wii, and slowly, despite our careful diet, the pounds have crept back on.

Today, I got the Wii Fit out again, and after doing the fitness test, it tells me that it’s been 248 days since we last used it, and in that time I have gained 13 pounds in weight, and my body mass index has jumped from 28.87 then to 30.76 today. How gross is that?

So, here’s what I’m doing to correct matters:

First, I did a 29 minute work-out with the Wii Fit.

Then I programmed the Wii with my goal of loosing 21 pounds in the next 21 weeks!

Just one pound a week. But I’ve gone further than that to keep me on target; I’ve teemed up with our youngest daughter who with her husband has devised a plan to put an optional incentive into the mix, as they both also wish to lose weight.

Their idea is called the JOOB Weight Loss Plan, and it’s just about ready to tell others about it.

No initial cost is involved; indeed, it’s very possible that money can be made by those who succeed in achieving their target weight.

Check back here within the next day or two, and I’ll let you in on the plan.

Meanwhile, if you are in a similar position of having gained weight like me, why not start today to do something positive about it.

Get that Wii back into action, (it may need new batteries like mine did) and watch out for my next post.

I hope some of you managed to follow my advice and start a website or hub as a means of generating some revenue.
My Christmas Toy site is starting to get some interest, and the Wii site is proving to be a worthwhile excersise.
For the past few months I’ve been writing an ebook for golfers, Hot Golf Tips. This has been well received too, as the information in the book takes a new angle to most other golfing ebooks, and I know it works.
The message is:Never give up, I know it’s a struggle, but as they say, “No pain-no gain”.
Best Wishes,

Following on from my Christmas Toys website I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve now added a web site to my Hub Pages to guide surfers about everything to do with the Nintendo Wii.
I hope you will take time out and look at my site, it may help other bloggers who are new to internet marketing, understand more of what they can do on the internet without much experience at all.
My advice would be to join Hub Pages if you have not already got an account, and make your firsat hub in time for Christmas. Hopefully you may get a quick result and go on to greater things. SPECIAL: FREE DOWNLOADS FROM AMAZON

The Christmas shopping rush seems to be starting earlier this year than ever. Lists of winners have been published showing which childrens educational toys are hot, which baby toys are top sellers, and generally informing us which are the best toys for kids this year. So on my hub pages site, I’ve published what I perceive to be the best childrens toys for 2008, some of which are already sold out or in short supply. You can visit my Christmas 2008 Childrens toys winners by following this link.

While visiting relations in Colorado recently, I stumbled across the Nintendo Wii.
Never having been one to play computer games before, (I don’t have a single game on my computer), I was amazed at how far this type of entertainment has progressed in such a short space of time.
So there I was, boxing, playing baseball, bowling etc with the sports pack, and quickly realised what a great thing this was to re-unite families in the home environment.
On our return home, I quickly went and bought the machine, which comes with the sports pack included in the price, and have followed on from there with the games pack.
Now when there is nothing on the tv of interest to us (which is quite often) on goes the Nintendo and before we know it, it’s bed time.
We noticed that our fitness levels are improving, and I swear we are sleeping better.
Now we are looking to complete our regression to childhood with the Nintendo Fitness pack, but getting one is a challenge for the most hardened of gamers, they are as rare as hens teeth.
One of our daughters has one, and so too have our Colorado relatives now, and they are all losing weight, staying fit, and the family units have never been stronger.
So at the risk of loosing out to you all in the line to buy one when they are next available, I can strongly recommend these brilliant machines to everyone of any age. CLICK HERE NOW!
