i just thought i would drop by and let you know how i got on with the wii fit last night.

First of all i spent a bit of time setting me and my OH up on it but once we were going we didnt want to stop. It was a challenge between us - who could get number one on most things. I even unlocked a few things with the amount of time we spent on there.

I have to say i am very impressed!!! I will definatly try to keep it up!!

Also i have dropped 2lbs since i last weighed myself 2 weeks ago so that gave me a boost at the start of my session!!!!

Going home tonight to try and beet my balance board record!! then perhaps the hula record!!!

Thank you all for your replies.

Also, from your other posts (since you didn't post stats in this thread), you are 5'7-8" and starting out in the 135-140 range? That's a perfect weight for you (and your picture looks great), so weight loss is going to be slow. And you don't need to eat less than 1500 to lose weight. Believe me :)

If you want to maybe change your body composition some, ditch the light weights and do some weight lifting with a heavy weight/low rep (12 reps at most). Check out stumptuous.com for good info, plus the FAQs in the Fitness forum.

You can make your body look different without changing your weight (although it actually might help you lose weight as well). Isn't how you look and feel more important than the number on the scale?

 Absolutly its how you feel - i agree with that. My lowest weight being 120 i felt good.(this is probably when i took this picture!) I know this weight is too low for my height. I am very concious about being 'too thin' as my sister is a recovering anorexic and i would hate to go down the same path as her. Its so confusing as to how many cals should be eaten - Im reading different things all over the place! I shall try increasing the weights. Thank you for the advice.

I think its hard to put an ideal weight to a height as some girls are more busty than other girls and have bigger booties lol. I am 5ft 8 and i weight 136 ish. I have been exercising over the last few weeks and although i havnt lost anything i feel and look much better just because i have been working out.  My BMI is 20ish. I used to weigh 117 - way WAY to thin for my height - i looked ill and had no womanly curves!!!!  Now i have curves and feel great - ideally i would like to get down to 125 but if i ever start looking as thin as before then i would stop. I think all us girlies need out curves. i do believe the men love it!!!!

Buy a trampette ( a mini trampoline, not a lady tramp LOL) i bought one a week ago from argos for £15! I have used it everyday so far and its great fun. I often spend an hour on it watching coronation street and eastenders :) Its a great work out and you can do lots of different things on them.

Hi, Im 21, 5ft 7 and im about 140ish - i would like to loose ten lb to be around 130ish. Since getting a house with my boyfriend i have put on the 10lb and would love to shift it.

you beat me to it! Sorry. Try looking at the cals you eat and then swapping the kinds of food for a more healthy option.

I really struggled with my food over christmas too and i overate! i realised about a month ago when i stepped on the scales and since i have counted my calories daily!!! I have taught myself a few lessons recently - when you eating a meal - dont eat till the plate is empty (this was my biggest downfall!!) eat until you are full and stop!!! i never realised how much i shoved in just becuase it was there!!

Another thing i have started doing is eating fruit. i have a real sweet tooth and i love chocolate!!!!!! i used to eat a bar a day probably more! But now if i fancy something sweet i have some melon or an orange! Its hard at first but once your in the routine its easy to follow! Go to your local supermarket and buy some fruits you dont eat that often and you will probably find they are actually really nice :)

Good luck. 

One thing i love about my body....ummm...id say it would be my boobs lol - and they will never shrink when i loose weight  Nothing else really jumps out at me - i have put on a stone and a half in a year so nothing looks as good as it used to LOL!!! but over all id say im ok :) im not a hater.

for me it has to be that their tall!! taller than me - but thats not strange is it! i like shaved heads which is weird but i love the feel of it!! :)
