there's apparently an EA Active 2 that's out now as well, I've not tried it yet (want to get it soon) but have heard some good reviews on it.

 

[CRWx]

Hey all! I want to lose about 7-10 lb's over the next 6 months and then maintain for a year before wedding and TTC

I'm HOPELESS at keeping it up, so I need you all to shout at me haha.

I have the Wii fit plus and EA sports active (which I haven't used properly yet). I think I prefer the look of the EA one though-it seems better for actual fitness x

 

[Eala]

I have the original Wii Fit, but my Mum has Wii Fit Plus that she has never opened, so I might "borrow" it, seeing as I also have the Wii Motion Plus

Mum and I are going to Curves next Thursday. We used to go in 2008, switched to one near me, hated it there (was like a boot camp!) so stopped going. But now I can drive, it's much easier for me to get to the one near Mum (which is really nice) so we are going back there!

I need to be really disciplined when Uni starts back, as my (skinny!) friends have bad habits like buying me packets of crisps and things like that when they get a packet for themselves

I'm so determined that I'm not going to stall here just because I got back to my pre-pregnancy weight

Good luck girls,

broddy21, ill shout at you, if you shout at me too

Eala I`d definatly prefer to go to the friendly one too, I dont know anything about curves, is it points, or cal counting?

Ok I walked miles around town, did lots of sale shopping I am a 18/20 on the bottom and a 18 on the top. For all you uk girls, I went in debenhams, and got 2 tops in a 16, 1 skirt in a 18 and 2 dresses in a 16 all for £3 each, in there 70% off section, recommend it and getting smaller sizes i thought would motivate me!

I looked at the wii EA active 2 and that is what i am going to go for i think. Going to wait and make sure it all works from my friend first, and will then get it, So excited!!!

Good luck girls,

Curves is an exercise place You do a 30 minute workout, you get into the "fat burning" zone in terms of pulse rate, and then maintain it. You spend 30 seconds on a low-impact pad, jogging or doing aerobics, then 30 seconds on a machine, then 30 seconds on a pad, and so on. You end up doing 2 and a half "circuits" round all the different machines. Then you cool down, and do some stretches.

I think they give diet advice now as well, as part of the exercise programme. When I was there years ago, you had to sign up/pay to do an extra "Curves Diet" type thing, which was horrendous. You either went low-carb or low-protein, and followed their meal plans to the letter for X weeks, then went onto the next thing. It was so rigid, and going by the recipes etc was much more geared at a Canadian/American audience. That one was calorie counting, which I just don't do well with

I know that by keeping on top of taking my Metformin properly, I *can* lose weight, even just with diet alone. But it's faster with exercise, and I really want to get fit as well. I'll be just trying to eat what I eat normally, but cutting out the unhealthy snacks... My general diet isn't so bad, but I need to lose the crisps and chocolate

So... fingers crossed! And good luck to us all! We can SO do this ladies!

I started at 16 stone after baby was born, and am 13stone now (my ticker is trying to be motivational for me, I'm "starting" at 13 stone in this thread though ).

Current weight: 13 stone (182lbs)
Aiming to lose: 2.5 stone (35lbs) (initially!)

 

[topsy]

Oh well good luck with it. I was speaking to my friend today and we are going to see about joining a gym , argh bit scared as so unfit, but got to be worth a try!!!! I think you are right about the diet and exercise bit I love the choc and crisps too.

We are going out for new year tonight and having a meal, so bang goes the healthy eating, as I think i ordered choc sponge for pudding!!!!

Happy new year, we can all loose so weight in 2011 xxxxxxxx
