Exercise...gym or Wii Fit?
I am ready to start exercising so that my "jiggly" legs can get toned and the same for my arms. As I start to lose weight I want to be sure that I don't get "flabby", but become shapely with my weight loss.
I'm torn between joining a gym or getting a Wii Fit. I enjoy walking, but it is getting very cold here.
Any ideas.

My motto is-
"Any movement is better than none." I love water aerobics. I also like to walk. Weights are something I don't really like to do but it is necessary. I have some sagging. I think we all do after alot of weight loss. My understanding is that exercise helps but will not prevent flab & sag.
Do you have a treadmill or exercise bike?
Keep moving~

Movement is essential in getting those giggly parts in check. I think you have to find what works best for you. I tend to be lazier when I try to work out at home so the gym not only has great equipment, but it serves as the perfect motivator. I love cardio work but I think in order to get the jiggly parts toned strength training is the best. Nothing against the Wii fit because it is fun, but I think the best bet to shape my thighs is heading to the gym.

When I first started out in my journey, I did not join a gym. I walked a lot and I swam a lot . Swimming is the best exercise for your legs. So if you can find a gym that has an indoor pool, I would highly suggest taking advantage of it .
Also, there are a ton of exercises you can do right in your own living room that will tighten your legs and butt .
I can send you some ideas if you like . However ... like I said ... when I got started in my journey , I weighed 359 pounds... I got in that pool almost daily or every other day and I water walked.
I lost 100 pounds in 90 days . Now I am not saying that everyone should be at that rate , I just had a metabolism that was put into high gear by doing my protein and water religiously ,
Let me know if I can help you in any way .
