I am going to try a post weekly about my experience with building my body with Wii Fit. but I want everyone to know that i am also changing my eating habits in order to lose the weight. This is also not just about losing weight but about gaining some flexibility back.

I am 42 years old and weigh in at around 237 lbs. I am an IT geek that works on computers all day long so I spend a lot of time sitting on my you know what. And eating junk food. Over the past year I have noticed that I am becoming more tired and less active. at the same time I started gaining more weight. All of this mixed together has made me more concerned with my health.

So I decided to start exercising this year and since we received a Wii and a wii fit for Christmas I thought  what a better way to start to gain some flexibility and possibly lose some weight.

We started Christmas night but due to family being in town we skipped a couple of nights. however i have been at it pretty regularly for the past 4 days and am doing at least 30 min a night 7 nights a week except when I travel (which is not often). And so far it has been a lot of fun.

So far I have not been able to figure out the Wii fit age formula because I have been as high as 56 and as low as 34 in wii fit age. My BMI has been pretty consistent every measurement. And I have steadily been going down. My goal is to loose 2 lbs a week. However that is not a hard set goal. My most important goal is to gain some flexibility and overall balance and strength that  i feel I have lost from sitting so much.

Over all right now I have already noticed an improvement in my general health and i am no longer tired in the morning and feel very alert most of the day instead of wanting to take a nap. I will admit I am hurting but that is a good sign.

we will just have to wait and see how it goes.
