Seriosly O_o the thing is the best wieght lost program Ive ever tried, I'm losing weight pretty fast with it.

It's mean, very. but this is ussualy how it goes

You log on and it first measures to make sure its you, and then replys with one of three answres "oh....." like its disapointed "Oh!" like its happily surprised and "Great!" when it thinks youve gotten thinner.

It measures how tall you are compared to your weight so your little Mii character reflects how you really look like (you cant lie to this thing easly)

oh and it corrects you on your posture... even when your waiting for a fitness game to start.... (it never lets up!)

oh and it knows if you gained weight... and it scolds you then makes you think about it -_- for instance:

Jill: *steps on thing and corsses fingers*

Wii Fit: Youve gained one pound since last check! NOw why do you think that is? >:

Jill: TT_TT *clicks the "Late night snacking" option*

Wii Fit: Bad Jill! Remeber to not snack at night, it is the worst time to snack.

and then ever evening it now reminds me not to snack at night -_-

It also has a great system for measuring you, deciding how fit you are, and it has a great excersise and yoga program O_O

anyways I recomend it to those of you looking to shed a few pounds for Sakura con. The things spendy and hard to find but well worth the money. If you dont have one try to mooch off a friend xD Thats what Kenzie does to me.

I agree. I love the Wii Fit. It is like my best friend. Not only does it work your body, but it works your mind as well. Yoga is great, but I'm still unable to do a few moves...LOL! The strength training is nice...I feel my muscles toning!

I recommend too!

Sticking to it by finding time is the hard part. I get exhausted going to school and work. All I wanna do when I go home is TV and EAT! *nomnomnomnom*

That sounds amazing. Kahlan may be getting a Wii soon, so maybe I can start using that program. I certainly need the help, lol.

I had heard things about Wiifit before - like it being mean and ripping you a new one - but that actually sounds pretty awesome! I've always wanted something like a personal fitness trainor.. When I get a job, I'm totally looking into that! ^.^

If only I had a Wii.

D: That's nice for everyone who has a Wii.

Sayda · « **Reply #6 on:** February 11, 2009, 04:14:08 pm »

I just recently cleaned my room, (It was really bad. My mattress sat on the floor, and my clothes on my floor were taller then it.) to put in a new bed, and now that it's clean, I can once again do situps and leg lifts. I can also bring out my tredmill in my closet. So I guess even without a Wii, I can still get into shape, right in my own bedroom!

Now it's just a matter of actually doing it. ~ ~

I just started doing crunches, and push-ups before bed.

Works wonders.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #12 on:** February 11, 2009, 06:35:38 pm »

I walked a couple miles back to the house from school today!

. . After eating a cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate milkshake. I think that that made the calories burned null. >.>

Sayda · « **Reply #13 on:** February 11, 2009, 06:37:34 pm »

For a while I was going to the gym twice a day. But I had to quit that pretty quickly. It kills my gas to do that. And with no job, I can't afford to do that. x.x;

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #14 on:** February 11, 2009, 06:52:29 pm »

Twice a day is hardcore. Do you still go, even once a day?

Sayda · « **Reply #15 on:** February 11, 2009, 06:57:12 pm »

I haven't for a while now. It's really not that difficult to go, I've just gotten lazy. That, and my car's been driving on Empty now for a while.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #16 on:** February 11, 2009, 09:11:06 pm »

Oh, that's no good. What gym did you used to go to?

Sayda · « **Reply #17 on:** February 11, 2009, 11:57:47 pm »

I went to the George Fox gym. I'm college student age so they just assume I attend the college. :0

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #18 on:** February 12, 2009, 06:13:26 am »

I've got a fellow cosplayer moving into my apartment complex and we're going to find a time to go down to the weight room together and encourage each other to exercise.

I'd love to use the wii fit but I'd have to buy one, and a wii.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #21 on:** February 12, 2009, 10:57:37 am »

Thats good to hear. I am trying to get more people in my dorm to workout with me but it isn't working too well v.v

and I have the same issue with the wii and wii fit XD

Same here.. OSU scans our student ID's for the gym. I let my friend, who isn't an OSU student yet, borrow my ID to go 2 the gym 'cause my sched. totally prohibits me from going to the gym...

I do the Wii fit on weekends. Weekdays are my lazy days, I guess.

GenkiIchigo · « **Reply #23 on:** February 12, 2009, 11:32:26 am »

Wii fit sounds awesome! It's been really hard to find around here! One of these days I'll get it.

So I have heard of Mustash and Toxicon in the dormys...you 2 eh?

Nah, I commute to campus. This poor college student can't afford the dormys, BTW, how are the dorms? Well, Wilson, since ur there. I haven't heard the greatest about OSU dorms...

I love my room. I got one of the singles and it is great. The only bad thing is the guys next to me like to slam their doors >_>

But we need to get a meet-up together now

Gourry Gabriev kun · « **Reply #29 on:** February 12, 2009, 11:57:26 am »

I wish I had a treadmill, more than wiifit... If I had a treadmill, then I could work-out while my dad's watching TV (because if I relied on the wiifit, I would only be able to work out after my dad goes to bed - which is around 9:30 every night) =__=

One of my best buddies goes to University of Oregon, so you guys would be rivals, huh? lol. I'm too lame to go to a university for now, but, If things go my way, I'm planning on transferring to PSU this fall/winter (atleast, that's what my AAOT transfer degree is for..)

jAH, that would be fun. Although I work immediately after classes, so I'm not really on campus a whole lot! ^_^ Good to know that K-con-ers are walking on the same campus as me though! JOY, JOY, JOY! Aww..tell those dudes to quit slamming doors or....you'll send the K-con mob right at them! Lol...

So all students get access to the gym? I THINK CCC has a gym, but I never bothered to go... It's always full of wrestlers. D:

That sounds like a pretty cool deal, though! If universities weren't so expensive, then I would be more excited about going.

I love those things! My mom has a elliptical at her place, but I only get to use it on weekends. ;__;

nikkiolie · « **Reply #34 on:** February 12, 2009, 12:11:38 pm »

yeah as long as you have an ID card you can get in here.

I went to LBCC for a few years, and they had a gym, but you had to take a class. No open gym for students. I wonder if other CC's are like that? Yes, Uni's are overly expensive.

But, nothin' can do but work and starve.. Um, just kidding about the starving part.

Gourry Gabriev kun · « **Reply #36 on:** February 12, 2009, 12:17:59 pm »

Yeah, starving is a no-no for me.. Just like Gourry, I love food WAY too much! Hell, if I don't eat breakfast (which sometimes I don't, because my classes are so early >.<), I get epic stomach cramps. xD

That's a big no-no! Breakfast is THE most important meal! Well actually ALL meals are important! I am LINA when it comes to food. Let me have at it! When it comes to sweets, I am L (Death Note) or Vash (Trigun). If you don't eat, ur brain will send signals indicating that your body maybe starving and will store MORE reserves as fat. Too much of that won't be good for your Gourry cosplay!!

And its not healthy so eat up! Bring some fruits/veges/ portable snacks to eat.

Gourry Gabriev kun · « **Reply #38 on:** February 12, 2009, 12:43:40 pm »

I really should... And I think that my obsession with food is not healthy (I always think about what I am going to eat for my next meal, and what foods I am craving - salmon chowder and donburi sounds SO good right now).

Aww, I wuvvles Vash! I re-got into Trigun earlier, and actually managed to read the whole manga (which is so.. It's greatness can't be expressed properly in words) and I heard there is a movie coming out! Excitement overload! *Head explodes*

I'm hoping that I can get a job soon, so I can save up for cosplay and possibly getting Wiifit. Even if I don't get it in time for K-con, I'd still want it to loose weight (my goal is about 20 pounds DD: )

Linfield college makes you swip cards. But if you go in there and act like you know what you're doing, they usually ignore you. x.x;

It's weird though, the George Fox gym has people of all ages in there. Middle schoolers, middle aged people, students, etc.
