I went on holiday last August and after 2 weeks of fish and chips and bacon butties I came home to the resolution to shift some weight. I was fed up of none of my old clothes fitting, being the fat one when out with the lasses and always trying to buy outfits to disguise my weight. I dont think it helps having the stick thin image shoved in my face everytime i watch tv or read a magazine either. I agonised for ages about buying a Wii - a Wii fit, mostly to do with the cost, but after trying one out in a shop and seeing my weight on a screen I took the plunge. I love it, think its great. Exercises on it are great and there is the facility to weight yourself, although despite what it advises you, it advises you to weigh yourself everyday, I only weigh myself once or twice a week as it makes you paranoid. There are games too that are energetic and I think they will go along way to keeping you active too. It is gentle exersize though so didnt expect too much too soon.
