Got a Wii Fit and lost 3 pounds without it!
So, for Mother's Day my mama got me a Wii Fit! Yes, my mama buys me a present for Mother's Day from my kids. (I did cook/buy everyones dinner & buy her some cool pjs). I had kinda hinted as she wanted me to spend $100 or so on new capris & clothes on her cc, but I don't want to buy this size, so I told the kids if grandma asks tell her I'd like a Wii Fit. First thing when they go shopping & she asks them what I'd like, both kids (7 & 8) keep telling her mommy wants a wii fit, lets get her a wii fit, so she asked them I told them to say it- they said yes, hehe. So, she brings it over Saturday b/c the kids couldn't wait and we hooked it up. It is super fun and I am currently the hula hoop 1st place in my house. The running is challenging, I keep almost running into the tv when the little Mii waves to me and I try to catch up. Anyways, the Wii measures your BMI & weight and I've lost 3 pounds!
Have fun with your new Wii Fit,
Mary
I'm down 4 and a smidgen as of last night. I did a whole 19 coins on the wii last night and I am still the reigning champion over the Super Hula Hoop though my dd is trying her best to beat me. Guess I got more hips to shake, lol. I might skip the floor workouts for now, had to heat pad my side after doing the Jack Knife (reach legs & arms in air with body forming a v shape), whew! The yoga is really fun too. My center of balance is off though, I'd never realized it but I put all my weight on the back of my heels and more on my right side. When I lean to get my dots centered putting the weight more distributed on the balls of my feet it feels like I'm going to tip over.
I did so some crunches (like 20....) on my super bouncy workout ball this morning. It was like $14 at Tarjay and makes them sooo much easier. I had tried doing them on the floor and no way can I lift up enough reps to tone anything.. When I was in college I used to take Fitness class, step aerobics, self defense, and aerobics 2 (2 classes per semester) so I was really good at this stuff and floor crunches were so easy back then.
And watch yasself there Miss Hula Hoop Queen cuz you don't want to throw out sumpn' you are going to need later!

No worries here, I totally agree with ya.
I had grants to pay for college and really got into the classes esp since they were free, awesome instructor. Anyways, I married a dumbazz and divorced him a year later. Doing the whole Suzi homemaker thing cooking and all plus a lot of junk going on. I also had always been on the go school or college, then work on a sales floor or restaurant on my feet, or then parties, cruising, sleepovers. When you get a 8-5 sit on your butt job then come home and watch tv 5 days a week I just got really lazy. At this point I'm probably about the same size, just lazy now.
After I divorced, a few months later I met current dh and a couple months later I was preggo with dd & six months later ds, gaining 140lbs but not losing a lot of it. I was so tired taking care of both of them and working ft, the couch is the nightly spot. I've did different walking lunches with co-workers and stuff but no real daily exercise since my pre-baby years (and they are almost 9 & 7).

How do you do sit ups on a ball? Maybe that's something I should do to? I just got a Wii Fit too but I also just had a minor procedure on both my large toes so I won't get ingrown toes - when they heal I'm going to be a Wii fit player too - so just wait till I catch up to you with those hula hoop moves. LOL On serious note, I'm looking forward to the wi fit after reading your great results.
