Combining Slimming World, The Wii Fit Plus And My Dvds To Lose Weight
I know this probably sounds like a terrible combination together to lose weight but it is actually really working and I am loving it. So far I have gone from a size 22 down to a size 18 and I give the Wii Fit Plus as the credit for this weight loss and dress size change.
I also want to start losing more weight than what I am so I am following the weight loss diet called Slimming World. It is all about eating more good stuff than bad stuff. But you can still have the bad stuff just less of it. For example you could have a mini mars bar every day just as long as you didn’t have a big one.
On the Slimming World diet they suggest that you start off with 15 minutes exercise a day and build it up.
So I have been doing 30 minutes a day on the Wii Fit Plus. I have decided though that I want to lose more and have come up with a new plan of action. For every bad bit of food I have on the diet and for any cheating I do I will burn that exact amount of calories on the Wii Fit Plus so that I will lose weight quicker.
I am also in love with the free step option on the Wii Fit as I can watch one of my DVDS at the same time as exercising. I am going through my old DVD collection starting with British TV Classic Goodnight Sweetheart. I am already on episode six of the first series and for each episode I have done 30 minutes of step areobics.
In other words I have burned 760 calories in one week just by being active as I watch one of my favourite television shows. And I am going to keep this up especially over christmas and you never know I might actually lose weight over christmas.
A Month In And The Weight Is Still There
I have been using the wii fit plus for about a month now and the weight is still there. Though I have had a few lapses that have not helped things. As a woman my period decided to arrive and when I am on a period I have absolutely no control over the amount of chocolate that passes my lips. Or anything else for that matter that is bad for me.
I also had the flu and all the cough medicine has a high calorie level so again this had a negative effect on my wonderful weight loss.
Monthly Weigh In
Previous Weight 99.8 kilos (15st 10 pounds)
Current Weight 96 kilos (15st 1.5 pounds)
Weight Loss 3.8 kilos (8.37 pounds)
My Wii Fit Plus
To cut a long story short, we bought our son a wii fit plus for christmas 2010 and we love it. There is no Fifa 2012 or similar games just ones that allow the family to have fun.
For the first six months all we had was the Wii Sports Resort and in particular we discovered a great love for the bowling and the tennis. We would spend hours just playing tennis together and we didnt realise at the time but we were improving our fitness and weight while having fun.
Roll on six months and we decided we needed to make a greater effort with our health. Plus next year we are planning on going on holiday to Florida for about three weeks and wanted to slim down before the holiday.
I weigh in at 99.8 kilos (15 stone 10 pounds) and decide that through buying the Wii fit plus I can make even more of an effort to lose weight and be healthy. I am not going to over do it as I often work a 16 hour day and most importantly haven’t exercised in a very long time and I don’t think my body could take it!!!!
So I start by doing a 30 minute work out focusing on the balance games, yoga and step areobics. And that is my plan anyway!!!
So here is to getting fit with the nintendo wii.
