, and it was one of the best investments in my fitness that I made. The Wii Fit met my need for a convenient way to work out, plus it was as fun as playing a video game. It's easy to see the goal in front of you when you're trying to beat someone's high score. Plus, the exercises were low impact, so it was great for getting back into shape and not have to be as concerned with injury.
One of the added benefits was the weight tracking in the system. This is what I think really helped push me over the hurdle for weight loss, since each day I could see the results of my hard work or the consequences of overeating. Along with this, the program lets you set a weight loss goal for a certain time period that you can easily follow to see how close you are to meeting your goals with a handy chart.
Thanks to this, I know how far I've come in the last couple of months. I started the program weighing 225.1 pounds. As of today, I'm at 205.3 pounds - a difference of 20 pounds in 74 days.
The other thing with the Wii fit that help me take things to the next level is that it got me exercising everyday. Over the summer, I was only running 3 times a week. But with the fun and convenience of the Wii Fit, I was soon exercising 30 minutes each day. I figured I wasn't burning as many calories as when I was jogging, but burning 200 or so calories each day was paying off.
Now, it wasn't just doing the Wii Fit that got me where I'm at and is getting me where I'm going. The other component is diet and nutrition, which I'll talk about next.
