Wii Fit

If you can run 3.5 miles then maybe you would be better off just investing in a treadmill if you can't run outside.  I can't even run for 5 minutes on my treadmill so I say if your actually running for 3.5 miles then I wouldn't worry about it.

Well,
         I probally am over reacting but I have been at this same weight for 3 weeks now and want to do something to boost it to losing again. I am only 5 pound to my first goal. Will I ever meet it? I am only eating 800 or less cals a day and only eat healthy food. I am just aggravated and cant get below the 200 mark. I want to see it soooo BAD! I am 2 months out lost 36 pounds is that a good amount?

Please any advice?????

You're so funny.  I felt the same way about the 200 mark and now am 184, go figure.  i just told another poster that you read on here all the time about stalls, they are just part of the journey.  Now instead of upsetting myself I just use the analogy that while on a long road trip you have times when you are speeding along great and making good time but it's enevitable that you will eventually have to slow down when you run into traffic, much like a stall, but eventually you get where you are going and that is the same with us. 

I've also noticed that even when the scale doesn't move, my jeans and clothes still seem to be getting bigger on me, so measure yourself too and in a few days you'll probably see a whoosh on that scale.  Perhaps you should trick your body and not run for two days or switch to everyother and add in some weight training and see what happens.

On Wii Fit, under the title "Aerobics" you can choose hula hoop, step, or running. I like them all but my favorite is the step. It's very similar to DDR but using the balance board instead of a mat. After you use the step game for a while, Wii will give you the next level games of step. You can choose a 3 minute workout in the first level or a 5 min one or a 10 minute one in the next two levels.

I recently found that Wii has a DDR game. I'm going to check it out. I've heard bad reviews on the Jillian Michaels game... I'm not surprised because she is such a b**ch to the contestants on the Biggest Loser.

I think that the game you are thinking of is:
nActive Life Outdoor Challenge

It gets pretty good reviews online.  I would stay away from the Jillian Michaels Wii game.  All the reviews I have read on it are terrible.
I am afraid to rent any Wii games from blockbuster.  In our area there is a concern that someone there is giving out peoples addresses based on the games rented, and then the houses are broken into and very little taken except gaming systems, laptops etc.
