What took me so long to use "Combine"
5 Replies

I finally tried the combine feature on Wii Fit Plus today and LOVED it. I set it at two times and three different target areas and was amazed that it was 11 minutes and over 100 calories burned. I th…

I joined Wii Mommies in the very beginning with the first site. I followed all the way to this one but haven't been active until recently...my bad. Now 'm wondering if I'm just too late? I know every…

Does anyone use the Calorie Table as a daily goal? (Wii Fit Plus)
2 Replies

I originally set mine to the candy bar (455 calories) but wasn't hitting it. I wanted to burn at least 200 calories each workout so I changed it to the soft serve cone (190) but then I was surpassing…

Sounds like I need to get Wii Fit Plus. I got Wii Sports Resort for the Family for Christmas and am hoping it will inspire me to get back into using the wii for regular exercise.

Do I really have to count calories?

I've been bad this week. Boog was out of school Monday-Wednesday for "Inclement Weather" and we made the most of it. We wend sledding and had some friends over. It
was fun. I did not get my daily workouts done these days and had to
force myself to get back on it yesterday. I kept meaning to do
it. I kept finding other things to do...… Continue

Fitness Friday Questions

Another installment of Fitness Friday. Join myself and the rest of the Wii Mommies and post your fitness goals, accomplishments, struggles and ideas. Whatever. No rules, just sharing.

Today I have questions. Lots and lots of questions.

I'm down to 3.3 miles to complete the Island View Course in the cycling. That only gets me 3 stars. What's your best? and what do I need to get 4 stars?

Why did my trainer, Mike,...… Continue

Wii Fit Plus, Just Dance, and a Free Copy of EA Active

Another installment of Fitness Friday. This is my year. I'm done procrastinating and want to see if using the Wii to lose weight and firm up is actually possible. Others have made it happen so why not me?

I've lost 3 pounds. I lose and gain 3 pounds each day so I'm not convinced yet. I do know that muscle weighs more than fat and right now my thigh muscles are rockin' due to all the cycling and lunges I'm doing. I'd like to believe that's my issue for not losing more in 2.5 weeks. If I'm honest… Continue

Where the Hell is the Last Flag?...Nevermind. Got It.

I was thoroughly enjoying my (beginner level) cycling on my new Wii Fit Plus. Then, while Hubster and the kids were gone on Sunday, I decided to try the advanced level.

Let me just say that I had set my daily workout goal to 30 minutes and I wanted to burn 200 calories. I had completed 26 minutes and only needed to burn 38 more calories to hit my goal.

I started on my bike in search of the 22 flags. I found the first 21 in about 6 minutes....… Continue

Fair warning: I am a writer so the story…well it’s a story but it does not fit in the comment box. Please let me know if you would like to hear the rest of the story.

Last Christmas my wife and I gave our children the Wii Fit as their big present. They were so excited we had to set up the game right away! Of course they knew exactly how to make Mii characters and they quickly created our entire extended family members (over a hundred) in about forty five minutes!
They innocently asked if I would like to see my Mii character. Being a supportive father I played along with their incent coo. They did a great job and my character look lean and fit. They asked me to step on the Wii board to begin the weigh in process. From that point on my world changed forever! My Mii character blew up like a balloon and I looked at the screen with a total disbelief expression and realized that I was 240 lbs! Obese!
Of course my children and my wife got a great chuckle watching my Mii character blowing up like a hot air balloon! I turned around and I told them in a calm and control voice that I would lose 60 lbs. before December 25, 2009. They continued to laugh even harder!
Of course I had no idea how I was going to accomplish this monumental task but, I knew I had to find a way. I was obese! It took me five months of what seemed to be an endless road of researching diets, training programs and other gimmicks that completely turned me off.
Diets did not make sense to because of the classic yoyo affect. I look at the ten minute workout but, I never seem to have enough energy at any particular time during the day to work out and besides I work full time, coach a hockey team and raising two children leaves little time for anything!
