The pants fit ok, but the shorts do not. The skirts hide their out-of-shapeness. A bikini would betray me. <BR/><BR/>Wii fit would fix all that. It would let me ski and pull up those round hocks until you could bounce a quarter off them. It would encourage me to try out some toning moves in yoga. It would throw some fast tennis balls at me to make me lunge and swing and bring about some tense, lean muscles.<BR/><BR/>So, if you have any compassion at all, you'll forgive me for liking the curves I've got and encourage me to tone them up. You'll possibly forgive me for wanting you to bounce quarters off my ass, too.Mochahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035442586293974560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451787576920424275.post-52308283917084496212008-12-04T19:21:00.000-08:002008-12-04T19:21:00.000-08:00Every year around the 1st of Jan, I promise myself...Every year around the 1st of Jan, I promise myself that I will get busy and exercise. But to be honest, exercising by yourself just doesn't work and gyms are boring because all anyone does is work out - no conversation, just constant motion. If I had a Wii Fit, I wouldn't feel alone exercising and I wouldn't even have to leave the comforts of my home. I think I could finally get it done this Jan. 1st.BShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14825193282407371791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451787576920424275.post-49970699375748227532008-12-04T19:12:00.000-08:002008-12-04T19:12:00.000-08:00I wasn't sure if I wanted to post, because my reas...I wasn't sure if I wanted to post, because my reasons for wanting to lose weight aren't funny.<BR/><BR/>Two months ago, my mother died after fighting colon cancer for eight years. She's the second person in our family to die of colon cancer, which can be hereditary. <BR/><BR/>As I was searching through her files afterward, I found an odd collage of pictures of my siblings and me mixed with magazine clippings, play money and hand-written notes from my mother. It was one of those spiritual self-help, "wish list" exercises. She wished for us to have loving spouses, beautiful homes, successful careers, etc. But the pictures of me were pasted on the bodies of thin fitness models. Underneath she wrote: "This is Sandie happy because she's a healthy weight."<BR/><BR/>Finding that photo was such a heartbreaking shock. I knew my mother always wanted me to lose weight, but seeing that posterboard was horrifying. I looked at myself in the mirror and realized she was right. I need to do something this coming year to get to my true age's fitness level. I'm sick of looking 52 instead of 32.<BR/><BR/>So why do I need a Wii Fit? Because I need a way to work out at home (with three kids under 7 and a husband who's rarely home before 8:30, gym membership isn't feasible right now), so I can be healthy, not just for myself, but so I can ward off colon cancer and at the same time fulfill my mother's wish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451787576920424275.post-1716038173874715092008-12-04T16:10:00.000-08:002008-12-04T16:10:00.000-08:00I took my teenager out to play badminton the other...I took my teenager out to play badminton the other night and he was gleeful for the opportunity to beat me at something.

I’m a stay-at-home mom - my husband is gone 13-14 hrs a day - and if I’m going to be here by myself when they’re sleeping, I think it would be FUN to exercise.

I was just telling The Husband the other day how great it would if we could afford a Wii and the whole Wii fit package so that we could all "play" together as a family. <BR/><BR/>As a working mom to two little boys, I'm learning how hard it can be to make time for healthy activity for all of us.<BR/><BR/>In the Summer, we try to go out to the playground or for a walk whenever we can for a bit of play and exercise. <BR/><BR/>But, in the winter, I'm afraid we are couch potatoes. I hate going out in the cold weather - especially having to bundle up the boys. :)<BR/><BR/>With the Wii fit, we could have some healthy play INDOORS! AND maybe Mommy could get in a bit of me-time exercise after the boys are in bed.<BR/><BR/>I think this would be a great motivator to stay fit and healthy - and it would set a good example for my kids, too.<BR/><BR/>I know I don't have much chance of winning. But I think it's great that you are doing this.

I'm not a single Mom...in fact, I'm not any kind of Mom at the moment...and I haven't been laid off and I don't work at home and I do not weigh 300 pounds.<BR/><BR/>But I might, soon, because I've moved to the Bay Area, where all the food is good and it's always in season and everyone goes out to eat. And I'm single, and I'm starting to come to grips with the fact that I am no longer 22.<BR/><BR/>Well, my mental age might still be 22, but my metabolism is starting to approach 40. Or maybe 50. Depending on the day. <BR/><BR/>But imagine...with a Wii Fit, I will be able to begin working toward my only hope of ever finding a lasting, loving relationship: I have no choice but to become...A Cougar. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, if I don't lose some weight, I will be mistaken for a Double Cougar. And that's before my targeted gentleman of a younger age even picks up his third drink. <BR/><BR/>Besides, as an Official Cougar, I will need to have fun toys at home with which to lure those younger gentleman back to my pad. You know, toys like the Wii. "Honey, why don't you come back to my place and...jump rope with me. I promise I'll let you win this time."<BR/><BR/>genie (at) theinadvertentgardener (dot) comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451787576920424275.post-5854931783296783532008-12-04T14:08:00.001-08:002008-12-04T14:08:00.001-08:00So this is actually a comment for my best friend, ...So this is actually a comment for my best friend, Kim over at www.kimorlandini.blogspot.com<BR/>She's constantly annoying me with her "I'm such a fat heifer comments"<BR/>She watched me TAKE the BlogHer record for HulaHoop and she was green with envy.

He had fallen and had a massive brain injury. He was 80 years old, but he started to get old much earlier because our family doesn't have the "get fit" gene. Watching him slowly die (which he did in May) broke my heart in ways I never thought possible.<BR/><BR/>I know that in this life you get lots of chances and if you are lucky to make the best of them. It is important to me that I don't follow in his path - his health was so deteriorated in the last years that it was a struggle. I don't want to be like that.<BR/><BR/>I have been trying to exercise on my own, but the joy of it escapes me. It seems like such a chore - one that isn't fun. I think that with the gift of a Wii I could see what joy was really like and get fit - or at least have some fun trying.<BR/><BR/>It's been a really tough year and this would just make the difference - or at least be the chance that I can take to make a better life for myself while there is still time.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the contest and for the consideration.<BR/><BR/>Jacqueline<BR/>goodwolve@gmail.com<BR/>http://goodwolve.blogs.com/moxielifeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451787576920424275.post-46168603594016902662008-12-04T14:03:00.000-08:002008-12-04T14:03:00.000-08:00Oh my gosh I would love this.

Or just plain exercise at all to be more realistic.<BR/><BR/>Here is my sob story. 2007 was the year of the boob cancer testing for me. I had a biopsy in March and was fine but then had a lumpectomy in November and was also fine but it was a year of ups and downs and stress for me and I vowed to take better care of my body.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to use the Wii fit. I think my girls would love it, too. My husband also works like a maniac and was told by his doctor to lose weight since his cholesterol is high and he's under a lot of stress.<BR/><BR/>So basically we are stressed out couch taters and I want to kick 40 in the ass next year! <BR/><BR/>Thanks!BlondeMomBlog (Jamie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11678207937709971411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451787576920424275.post-23026230731317669042008-12-04T11:05:00.000-08:002008-12-04T11:05:00.000-08:00Want to see a 300-pound man move his body in ways ...Want to see a 300-pound man move his body in ways the no mere mortal should (or want to for that matter)?<BR/><BR/>Then I am your man.<BR/><BR/>The wife and I are on a mission to lose 150 pounds together in the next year and are willing to document our trials and triumphs of our journey using the Wii Fit through video updates on our respective blogs.<BR/><BR/>We may even let our daughter use it.

Its too expensive and you don't need it!" Winning one will just piss him off more then anything. When I get one I WILL challenge him to faceoffs! That is without a doubt!<BR/><BR/>Okay, I know some people will see this and be like "OMG, why would she need one? she is like 105lbs wet blah blah blah blah.." Its not like only a certain group of people need to exercise! I'm trying to quit smoking and want to replace it with something healthy and frankly it has to be FUN for me to stick with it! The Wii is basically the answer to my smoking problem. I've cut back on smoking but haven't quit yet... I HAVE TO QUIT!!!<BR/><BR/>And let us not forget the faceoffs with my children! I MUST beat my oldest daughter because we are so competative with each other! AND its a good way to get my 3 children off their butts (well unless you are playing that bunny something game which i can't remember the name of right now but you are on your butt for that one) instead of playing that thumb hurting annoying XBox we have. Granted we have a Nintendo DS which I LOVE and a Nintendo GameCube that I LOVE... *props to SSX Tricky the game.. <--love it also!*<BR/><BR/>Either way, I do think that Nintendo did a great job of getting people off the floor breaking their thumbs and moving their bodies!

Ok ok, so maybe I do live in a neighborhood next to a few congressman, but honestly, they're the reason I stay in!<BR/><BR/>The Wii Fit also will allow the kids I'll have in the next decade to have a video game console that is positive -- I promise to keep the Wii forever and ever ;) It'll also bring all my snobby Washintonian friends together and hopefully humble a few of them, and most importantly, I half Japanese :) What does that mean exactly?

While he was there, he got a staph infection and nearly died. He spent 3 months in the hospital and was a Realtor and during the time, all his listings were pulled from him. <BR/><BR/>When he got out, after having a portion of his intestines removed, he had not only the long recovery of getting his business back, but also his body was never going to be the same. <BR/><BR/>As long as I can remember, my dad has always went to the gym and even been in body building competitions when he was younger. <BR/><BR/>Now his stomach, where he had surgery, was bent over and the scars so deep that it looked like a woman who had a Csection many times over. His once strong muscles were nothing. <BR/><BR/>I know that it took a lot of his pride away from him. I know he felt emotionally battered and financially drained. <BR/><BR/>But my dad is a fighter. He had me at 17 and raised me, without my mom, to be a strong, independant woman that went to college and got a degree. <BR/><BR/>NOw, two years later, he is looking better, and although his stomach will never be the same, he has steadily went to the gym again, now going 7 days a week and will be competing in a body building competition in the fall-just to prove that he can do it again. <BR/><BR/>I would love to win not for me, but to give it to him. He has been through SO much and I really think something like this would be a fun way for him to come home and exercise, rather then having to stress his body at the gym every day of the week.<BR/><BR/>We are so proud of him and grateful he is in our lives. I love my dad like a best friend. <BR/><BR/>I looked for a Wii fit but have not been able to find one at the store becuase the consols are all gone. It would be fulfilling my dream to give him this for christmas. <BR/><BR/>I would be honored to be chosen and thrilled to win.<BR/><BR/>trisha<BR/>momdot.comHaasiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17922061510146257818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451787576920424275.post-63545605330183789702008-12-04T09:50:00.000-08:002008-12-04T09:50:00.000-08:00I can tell you exactly how the wii fit would fit i...I can tell you exactly how the wii fit would fit into my life: my 2-1/2-year-old will think it is for him, despite the fact that he is in prime physical condition and can kick my ass and his dad's ass simultaneously with both arms tied behind his back. He will use it as a step to enable him to climb on top of the television. On the plus side, once he's up there I can use it to get some exercise. On the negative side, as soon as I am doing some complicated balancing thing he will leap from the top of the television onto my head. Honestly, it will not be much different from our lives now, except that my TV will be telling me that I am overweight and unfit. AWESOME.

I would love to lose my steroid weight with the Wii fit. <BR/><BR/>Everyday I see myself looking different and I hate it. I am so upset that the steroids made me like this.

Lets chat about how this summer I had to study for the bar exam after graduating from law school (you would think, I dunno, completing law school would be enough) and during said three months of horrible-ness the only thing that kept me going was the thought of a cupcake at the end of the day. And those cupcakes added up, along probably with all the lattes and now, I'm looking at myself and my suits that I have to wear to my job that, lo and behold, barely pays me enough to pay my rent (law school = not the dream they advertise it to be) and I'm realizing these suits don't look so hot with the cupcake/latte weight. Combined with the fact that said low-paying job makes me stay there until awfully late, I've been pining/coveting for a WiiFit with a thought that FINALLY, something I can do in my OWN LIVING ROOM. That doesn't include skinny lawyers with high paying jobs looking at me with pity in their eyes while I try to not fall off the treadmill (did I mention my coordination isn't perfect?). So that is why I really really really would enjoy a WiiFit.

And a sad hubby. and sometimes sad mama.<BR/><BR/>So with the Wii I can wear out my child when it's too cold or god save me, like the last 3 days, she's been too sick to go out. If she's worn out from the Wii (and hopefully I'll get a chance to play with it too), she'll be so exhausted and go to bed early.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, I'll be all fit and sexy from my Wii workouts.
