Hey all, can I join in with your thread? Been lurking for a while and sounds like there is a lot of motivation on here. Just what I need!

I've got the Wii and just bought The Biggest Loser Challenge. Believe me you sweat buckets! You can do a range of excercise routines of varying lengths and types, there is a weekly weigh in and overall it's a really good workout game. I've been on for 30 mins this morning but I need to keep the routine going :-)

Oooh sorry Bexterragga, looks like you posted amid a load of other posts and got missed. Welcome, I'm hoping to have the biggest loser soon, been watching it on TV and really want to give it a go, I'm so motivated at the moment, not losing much weight but quite enjoying the exercise. I'm sure the weight lose will come.

I've been so busy recently today is my first go on the Wii for 10 days. Still lost 2 lbs too!!!!

30 mins done, then I got out Just Dance 2. More sweat from 2 dances on that than from 30 mins on Wii!

Well done, but it's so not fair I seem to put on weight after exercising, guess it's muscle but I do wish I could see a difference on the scales. Might have to think about cutting down on the chocolate, wine and curry;)

Just reached the halfway point in my More Workouts 6 week challenge and realised I'll finish it 2 days before my birthday, which is also Pancake day - so I can give myself a couple of days off then start another challenge through lent

I've only got one more day to do then my 6 week challenge is over:T very proud of myself as I havent' missed a challenge yet.

Have you lost any weight or do you feel any smaller or more toned?

Yep, I only have an area of about 7/8ft by 5ft to do it in, and manage OK.

Although I do need to test if things will still register correctly if you lie down at a 90 degree angel to the screen (on More Workouts), as I haven't tried any of that kind of exercise yet due to starting the 30 day challenge on the original! :rotfl:

Shouldn't be a problem, I have to lie diagonally and it picks it up ok.

Hi sawan82 and welcome. Strictly speaking this is a thread for wii vs gym but as I'm also about to start using the EA Sports Active 2 of the PS3 mayble everyone will allow us to carry on posting:D

Have you joined a group yet? I'll be looking at creating/joining a group next week.

I hope we're ok to post, it just seemed like you're all such a friendly, helpful & motivational bunch!

I only remembered yesterday about groups thing. We changed WiFi password at home so it hadn't linked to EA servers as I'd forgotten to update it on PS3 Not sure how the group thing works really, was going to look it up. I personally really like the software to the extent I've used it though I have to say.

Missed a workout, so already playing catch-up!

I've lost 6lbs since the start of January, but seem to be staying the same now. I have toned up though, lost 0.5 - 1 inches from bust, waist,hips, thighs and 1.5 inches from stomach.

I will persevere but I am expecting to see a weight gain next week as I have a hectic weekend planned.:eek:

WELL DONE YOU :j

Is that just through the exercises or have you been dieting too?

I've been dieting as well, I try to eat well in the week and stick to 1200 cals but at the weekend it all goes horribly wrong because hubby tempts me with curry, wine, vodka and chocolate:eek: and unfortunately I'm easily led:o

What did you think about Ange going?? I think Paddy was voting tactically, by getting rid of Rob.

Well done you, I'm half way through mine and she told me yesterday, its going to get harder!

I think she was very naughty, clearly she knew what she was asking her team to do was cheating, I think there was no option, she had to go.

I totally agree, Rob was definately voting tactically, Ayander (or Zandela, can't remember which one is left) should have gone, she's lazy and didn't put enough effort into the challenge. I felt really sorry for Rob
