I'm now 100Kg's (thats approx 220lbs), I'm 182cm's (just under 6\"). I hope to loose some weight.
I got a Wii for my birthday and I hope this will help me to achive my objective. Let me explain: About 7 years ago I used to play squash a couple of times a week, occasionally tennis and in the summer months I was very active in the local (navy) sailing club.
shortly after this we moved and our first child was born, anyway to cut a long story short I stopped doing sport all together.
About 4 years ago I tried to start doing some sports again, only to be continually plagued by back troubles, mainly muscular problems. I've since tried jogging and playing tennis but it doesn't take long before I get problems with my back again (and this is a right pain when you want to ride).
I'm hoping that the Wii will help me build up my lower back strength to a level that I can start doing more sport again.
The Wii fit also weighs you and using height data it calculates your ideal weight and tells you how overweight you are, anyway I was shocked to find that I'm \"obese\", OK I'm just over the \"overweight\" catagory but still
As I said at the beginning I hope to loose some weight, I'll be avoiding too much sweet stuff (sweets, fizzy pop, sugar on cereals), sauces, large portions and snacks after 8PM but I'm more interested in building my lower back strength as this is the key to the rest of my getting fit (and in doing so loosing weight) in 2009 :thumbup:.
