Oops!

Apologies to all who opened this blog yesterday using Internet Explorer.

In my haste to get the post on line between working out on Wii Fit to loose weight and taking my daily exercise walk which is my chosen way to improve my health, I made the cardinal sin of not testing over all browsers before uploading.

The post reads as it should in Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari, but IE seems like it was having a bad hair day!

So for all IE users, sorry for the mess, but you can view this post correctly on Hub Pages at JOOB Weight Loss Plan

Meanwhile, I will work on IE to see what went wrong, and correct the error. Any ideas will be gratefully received.

You too can be a loser like me,

Still working the finer details out before giving you details of our Joob weight loss plan, but following on from my post yesterday about getting the Wii Fit back into action, it was pointed out to me that Amazon have a 17% discount offer on the Wii 5-in-1 Fitness Bundle right now if you care to check their offer out here:

After doing my 8 most used routines on the Wii Fit yesterday morning, come the afternoon I felt sufficiently energised to re-start my walking program.

While in Florida, I had found a great Omron Pedometer with a massive 37% discount.

In the past I have found that pedometers are great gadgets to carry during exercise for use as a step counter and health and fitness monitor. So off I went on a 2 mile walk, which today I have repeated already. Check out the link below to take advantage of this 37% discount offer:

I realise it’s not everyone that needs to lose some extra pounds, but like I said yesterday, we all must know someone who does need to lose weight, so if you feel able to mention this blog to them, hopefully within the next couple of days we will tell you all the plan.

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.

Get Moving,
