Losing weight - Gym V Wii

OrangeFairy

17 mins of wii fit (jogging, yoga and step) and then 15 mins of boxing on My Fitness coach.

Off for a walk in a bit. Got to make up for no badminton or swimming today!! x

because I've lost 4lb in one week and exceeded my target which was 3lb in two weeks:j:j

30mins done

My Wii was worried about me too as I'd lost 3lb in 1 week instead of 2. :j:j:j

tries to forget that it's a computer chip, so doesn't understand this is natural pounds going as the food habits return to normal after the excess of Cmas

I set up a routine in My Wii Fit plus and boy, yoga is horrid. All stretchy...haven't bent that way since I was 10

Am thinking that the next game purchase will be a dancy one. Just Dance or Just Dance 2 better? Or are there any other dancey games which I don't know of? Any advice welcome.

It keeps telling me I'm brilliant at it, which is news to me! :rotfl: It's a lot harder than it looks, isn't it? I've only tried the first few poses so far, and although I've been managing to hold steady my body is usually trembling my the end of the hold time. I can just see what will happen once I get on to the more advanced poses:

Trainer: "Extend your leg up behind your back and grab your ankle as if you are a prima ballerina with the National Ballet. Now hold the pose whilst breathing steadily."
Me: Whoa...oooh...whaAAAaaaa! *TIMBER!...crash*
Trainer: "You appear to be wobbling a bit. Try to keep your centre of gravity within the yellow circle"

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:love it-I bet so many of us can associate with that "TIMBER!" moment!!
I'm just working up the motivation to get the wii out, no more gym for me now, just the wii. I'm trying to ignore my cravings for fatty foods though-why do creamy sauces on food always seem more appealing than the tomatoey ones?!
JTR-good luck for the weigh in tomorrow!

I can't be doing with the yoga, I just end up falling over or tying myself in knots.

I'm proud that I managed to do 2 minutes step on the easiest level today. I not only managed to keep up but didn't fall over either, that's a real success for me:rotfl:

I'm like that on the easiest setting, makes a hell of a noise on a laminate floor:rotfl::rotfl:

Does the cycling route change on Wii fit plus? I am still on the 1st one where you collect 13 flags. Trouble is, I know where there are now and want something more challenging

You can unlock another "cycling island" thing which has 22 flags-I think. Not sure how you unlock it though, maybe by being quick? I seem to remember something about being a short-cut master or something..
I did 30 mins free step last night (2996 steps :mad: I wanted to do 3000!) and took the dog for a walk, tonight I have friends coming over and (they don't know this yet) we are going to be playing just dance all evening!!
