Thanks for all your replies guys and gals.
I did not know they were as cheap as the woolie price - I had only really seen them on PLay or Ebay and they were going for around £120. If I can get one for £70 I will and put remainder on CC debt. Otherwise I will wait until I can get one elsewhere at around same price.
Now can you buy online with woolies using paypal me thinks........



Just checked and you guessed...................out of stock. Blooming typical, now what!!???

Annie, not sure if this has been mentioned but there is a Wii Fit board on MSE HERE
The online stock checker is HERE, though ignore the top few, seems to be Ebay, Amazon marketplace and mobile phone retailers, the woolworths, john lewis, amazons are listed lower down.

suggs - 5 miles in 46 mins is really really good. I did 5km in 31 mins and 26 secs (!) last night - my fastest time to date and it seemed very fast and you were faster...well done.

Efrieze, you doing brillantly yourself. My aim is just to keep going and eventually head outside, and for that I have you to thank for giving me a kick up the bum about it.
I am working on the theory that if I push hard early on it will help when I extend the distances. Am looking at 10 minute miles at the end of the day.

Have put on 3.5 lbs this week. Basically I haven't lost anything since the beginning of February, just gone up and down. I think I've turned into a maintainer :eek: but still have at least 2 stone to lose.

This week has been dreadful. Dinner out twice, lunch out twice. And on top of that on Monday --- a whole bar of fruit and nut chocolate and 6 pieces of flapjack. I should have put on 10lbs really.:o

I feel guilty about the lack of exercise, particuarly when I think of the peeps on this thread who would love to be able to run/walk/swim and can't. I have no excuses.

Any suggestions for regaining the impetus? I'll go in the garden and eat worms (free on a red day?) and wait for the bitey boot.

.....awww nise You've hit the plateau. We all do it. The suggestions for regaining the impetus is quite simple though. See this bit below....?

.....don't do this anymore. It's how we all get after a bit of time on the same plan - we kid ourselves that we're following it, but 2 lunches out, two dinners out, a load of heavy flapjack and some chocolate doesn't sound like following SW to me

We're human, we get bored and start to steal a little from the rules... it's hard enough to do that at the start, let alone after a long spell on it.

Just for a week, be hard as hell on yourself and do the plan properly, as if you were on your first week. I'm sure you'll be surprised. If you find that difficult to stick to and you really are bored of it then it may be time to try something different.

.....you're one of the good ones aren't you? I wish they were all like you. So many youngsters don't realise the value of money after growing up in the boom of the last 10 years, and it's refreshing to hear (sorry, that really wasn't meant to sound patronising but I dunno how else to put it)

I think its because was i was 11 the usual comfortable income that our family had suddenly diminished after my familys car accident. We litterally had no money what so ever. It was the worst experience of my life. Sounds over dramatic i know, but my early teens were spent in clothes that were absolutly terrible, my mother went without and then on top of that i didnt know how my father would turn out. I guess that time has put something into my brain that just says you never know what tomorrow is going to bring, and being that poor is rubbish.

BB: i dont personally save yet, but matt does. Ive made sure hes sorted haha. Hes on the highest rate of pension and hes saving some money a month. Its not as much as we could but i wanna have a holiday this year. Maybe after that we will save up harder. Defo wouldnt want a 100% mortgage no way hosay. Still dont know how we can afford to save though, i dont wanna compromise on clothes or meals or clubbing heh. Its a daily fight for being young, and being an old bum getting a house.

Any advice on how to walk in heels? Im practising by walking in them today, but lord. Im gunna have been working 8 hours on my feet, then wear these babies!! Heels look fab, but they dont feel it, nor do i probably look it trying to walk in them! Feel like a little girl in her mothers shoes. Ive committed £18 so the heels have to work heh.

Efrieze well done on the personal best! That's a fantastic time for 5km, I have no idea how long it would take me to build up to something like that but I was WAY, WAY off it with my first attempt last week! You sound like a natural at running

I think if any of my friends heard you say that, they would laugh their socks off!

Did I? Oh good. It is obviously the mutual motivation society as you are making me consider signing up for a 10km run in London later in the year (not quite ready for a marathon!). I will see. I have been training for a 5km that a friend is doing next week (which incidently I can't do with her as I am away) so we will see if she is still up for running afterwards. We are spurring each other on to improve our times at the mo which is great. It is definitely nice having a running partner - even if sometimes we run seperately and just text each other our results!!! A bit more fun that that just me and my ipod.

Granny: Awwwwww. All im going to say is that weight loss is a change of lifestyle. So what if you havent lost since feb? its a slow winding process that takes time. Youre just enjoying life and adjusting. Does that sound good? ha. I thought you looked stunning in that photo, im surprised you say you wanna loose another 2 stone. Thought you were lovelly as you were personally!

Go Granny Go Go!!! Try listening to Duran Duran and Wham. They always do it for me. Or what about eye of the tiger?
