Wii Fit Back in Fashion

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,
