I was all excited to share with you a review for something I had on my Christmas list.  In fact, it was what I wanted most.  Of all the luck… I didn’t get it!  I’ll try one more time for my birthday (in April) but after that just buy it myself.  I’m worth it.  [...]

And it’s a good thing!  Usually when someone says they’ve hit a new low, it’s not so good!
The scale for weekly weigh-in this morning reported 149.  I lost the remaining binge pounds from a couple weeks ago and a couple more to finally break the 150 barrier.  Of the 120 pounds I wanted to lose, [...]

…which is ironic, considering my weight is “high”.  I promised myself some time ago that I would never allow myself to yo-yo more than ten pounds.  In other words, re-gaining more than ten pounds of weight I had previously lost would be unacceptable and would be a huge trigger for me to stop the insanity and [...]

I made it through another holiday relatively unscathed and another weekly weigh-in leaves me with the ability to report 158 — no loss or gain.  Given the number of Hershey Kisses I kissed, I’ll take that as a victory.
I got Wii Just Dance 2 for Christmas, and I set it to the “Just Sweat” mode.  [...]

While working with the Wii Fit Plus, I took the full Body Test, which measures weight, calculates BMI, determines center of balance, and issues little “tests” that along with your actual age helps determine your “Wii Fit Age”. So, as a 40 year old woman, I was delighted to see that the computer thinks [...]

After last month’s crazy ups and downs, I settled in with a really nice week last week. Last week’s Monday weigh in showed 191 on the scale, and this morning I weighed 188. I had seen 187 momentarily but it didn’t stay for long. Oh well, as Katie says, if the scale [...]

Well, hello! I just figured out something that I really like, that I didn’t think I’d bother with, on the Wii Fit. As I mentioned in a previous post providing my review of the Wii Fit, I mentioned that although you could create a custom routine, you were limited to only activities in [...]

As some of you that read regularly might already know, I’ve always had an easier time with the half of my mission regarding “eating less” and a more difficult time with the “exercising more” part of my plan. Whether it’s boredom, difficulty coming by or making the time, or general fatigue, I tend to [...]

Ever since I borrowed a neighbor’s Wii Fit last September, I had secretly (or perhaps sometimes not so secretly) wanted to get one for myself. But, considering it was $100 and I had spent that much and more money on other products that were supposed to facilitate weight loss, I had a hard time [...]

I’m two months in a row for meeting my monthly goals! At the end of March, I said I wanted to lose five pounds in April. I knew that with two family birthdays (including mine) and Easter chocolate temptations, it would be difficult to lose much more than that. Well, in April [...]
