I decided to go with the weight on the wii. It's the difference between a $200 console and a $100 sensor pad vs a digital scale I paid $20 for that often gives me a reading of E (error) twice before coughing up a weight. I realize it's probably weighing me about 2 or 3 pounds lighter than the cheap scale did, but it will all even out in the coming weeks. The wii also measures my body fat more accurately. I'm happy with that.
I am really loving my wii. lol
I've read the reviews that state you can't get a good workout on the wii. I think they're wrong. For someone my size and age, it's perfect. Anything that will help us get moving!
I want to go swimming. I have the pass. I have the suit. I don't go out before 3 in the afternoon, when the sun is a little less intense, and of course, that's the time the storms roll in every day. Maybe today, I'll try a little earlier, make sure I have my sunscreen and not stay out too long.

I agree Lavinnia - if you are in great shape the wii might not work you out very well but if you are out of shape then anything that gets your heart pumping and you body moving is a great workout. I think I might like a wii. My sister has one and I don't think she ever plays it... maybe she would let me borrow it.

Hey, it's worth asking her. If she doesn't have it, you will need the balance pad. They have one that comes bundled with the wii fit plus. That's what I got. My friend likes the biggest loser. I have it, but haven't tried it yet.

Lavinnia, I have been having the same problem with the storms here in Missouri. Finally got it in last evening, right after my walk, and it was heavenly. We worked out with resistance bands and swam for an about hour. Then we power-walked around the shallow end 8 times, until our legs couldn't take anymore!! And I feel it today! lol Great job with the wii. My sis has one, and I owuld love to get one, but can't afford it right now. She is going to loan me her Jilliam Michaels shred video, but I am not sure about that one. It may be more than I can do.
