Motivating each other to do our daily wii fit!

Hello!

I have been away to a wedding in Ireland so there was a lot of food and a lot more alcohol and zero exercise. Got back Sunday evening and promptly fell asleep! The Wii then told me off yesterday! Oh well, you've got to live your life, haven't you? Did 45 minutes yesterday, mostly free step so back on the wagon.

Pappoosue - I made my OH cover his eyes while I got weighed the first time cos I'd never hear the end of it if he knew (even though he is no string bean). It just shows your bmi when you get weighed anyway, unless you click on the "weight" button. I have pin protected my Mii anyway. Now I have my 6 year old telling me I'm overweight! God help me.

Hope everyone is feeling good. There seems to be torrential rain here in Surrey. Can't wait for the school run!

Oh, yes, I'd forgotten that Rainbow.... If you do a "Body Test" it shows your BMI, and where you are on the scale 'underweight - obese' I'm obese :rolleyes: But my children haven't said anything. (they wouldn't dare!! )
But, you don't have to do a body test, you can just do the training.

The other thing it does is to make your Mii weight appropriate. :eek: So I'd made mine pretty chunky, and once I did a body test it made it fatter!!! Charming! :rolleyes: But since me and DH are both overweight, his Mii is as chunky as mine. :rotfl:

I'm seriously slacking, and need to get a grip! Although work is very energetic, and I make sure that I run and down stairs a lot! I'm back at work tomorrow for 3 days.

Been on for nearly an hour tonight. I have had a go on the cycling and quite like that. Ive also been out for a walk today and done quite a bit of housework.

Oh SS you made me laugh, you've obviously got your children well trained! My one re-enacts the disappointment of my Mii when it is revealed that she is overweight. He thinks it's hilarious.

Anyway, I did 36 minutes yesterday and 31 today (the bare minimum!). I really couldn't be bothered but I suppose I did something and something is better than nothing. 10 minutes of boxing followed by 6 minutes of hula hooping got me very hot.

I'm starting to feel a bit disheartened, I've been at this thing a whole 16 days and nothing's happening. I know I know it's no time at all, I just fancy a moan! I think I am looking at my body more and assessing it which is no good thing.

Boddy, is cycling on the Wii Fit Plus? Is it worth the money?

I didnt do any WiiFit yesterday but this morning Ive done some cycling and the hula hoop. Will do some step tonight.

rainbow81 Yes the cycling is on the Fit Plus. I think its worth the money and it also tells you how many calories you have burned.

After everyones brilliant advice and comments I am warming to the idea of getting the fit plus board and game. I don't like the sound of the mii being large - everyone in the family will be like sticks and mine will look like a weeble!! It does sound like fun though and I know the kids would love it.

Thanks!:T

Well haven't done much Wii fitting at the moment as I have done something to my big toe and I can't bend it so normal walking is a pain let alone the Wii. Really fancy doing it now. Typical.


Does anyone know if you can get a stamp for the day without having to weigh yourself etc?

rainbow81

Hi

MOJ2, i think you only need to do the body test to get a stamp (the weighing and measuring your centre of gravity bit).

The Wii fit does require all your toes to be in action doesn't it? Apart from a couple of muscle ones.

I didn't do the Wii fit yesterday as just i was about to go on it I discovered some things I'd rather not have that my boyfriend's been up to. So it's not been a happy day.

However, i will not let that stop me from losing weight and feeling healthier so once DS is off mario kart i will indeed be on there. I'm feeling boxing might be a good idea, I have some agression to deal with!

Thanks Rainbow. Problem is I like to get a stamp when I have done some exercise but don't really want to be told my weight each time I do it. My weight can change quite a bit on the Wii.

rainbow81

Yeah mine too, I take it with a pinch of salt and use the real scales to measure my progess. I haven't yet managed to be lighter than the first time it weighed me, just after i'd had a burger and a pint! I guess you could just do one quick exercise? You could even put one of the yoga things on that you don't need any of the equipment for and just cheat your way to a stamp??

Hope your toe feels better soon.
