Hey everybody, I know it has been a loooong time since I updated. A lot has changed in my life; lost my job and a few other things, but through it all I have managed to keep with this and lose 10 lbs. I had not been on the scale portion of the Wii in a month and it feels great. I knew I was losing weight when my pants fit better, but 10 lbs amazed me....especially getting through Thanksgiving.

Thank you for all of your well wishes. It's funny how much being able to breathe through your nose can change your life!

So now that I am back on track I was researching upcoming exercise games, since I have been unable to rent or play all week, and I found "Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009", which is set to release on October 28th.

I haven't forgotten about updating, i'm just ill and had a very busy weekend. I'll try to update tomorrow!

Alright so my deadline was today. My goal was 3 lbs in two weeks, I lost a total of 2.2 lbs! I am very disappointed that I did not reach this goal, but I know I could have done much better. There were a few times during the week in which snacks were offered at work...cupcakes, cookies, breakfast buffet...yeah it's very hard to say no to these things! I can for awhile, but whenever they sit directly across from my desk I give in.

This week's 'Game of the Week' title is going to be shared by two games, based on the same concept: Rock Band 2 & Dance, Dance, Revolution! I was visiting some friends and we played both of these games and I was pleasantly surprised by both of them. First I was given the task of playing the drums on Rock Band 2. By the end of a few songs I was breaking a small sweat. I attempted a few songs in 'Expert' mode and wow, my arms are still a little stiff! I have often wondered how Max Weinberg got buff, I now know!

I decided to add a 'Game of the Week', to alert readers to new or old games coming out that could expand upon your routines. This week's game is, 'Wii Sports'. While the Wii Fit has many great games I feel it lacks in upper body activities, which Wii Sports offers. It was the pioneer of 'fit' games as it offered training and a body test which gave your 'Fit Age'. The game offers boxing, baseball, tennis, bowling, and golfing activities.

I thought it would be fun to start a team for the 50 Million Pound Challenge. Just search for Wii Weight Loss under the 'Teams' tab! Come join me!

Greetings! I wanted to alert everyone to a new tool I have found to use along with the Wii Fit. The website is the 50 Million Pound challenge. http://www.50millionpounds.com/

Eldorian has been very busy lately and has graciously allowed me to begin to document my own journey on the Wii Weight Loss Plan to supplement his information. I am very excited to not only use this tool as motivation for myself, but hopefully for some of you out there as well. If you should indulge me a few moments I will try to share a little back story about myself with you.
