I have reached a point in my life where I know I need to do something about my weight and fitness.  I love computer games so thought it would be good idea to try and combine the two.  I decided to borrow my friends Wii Fitand do it for two weeks and see how I get on.  I have also changed my diet this year and I have lost over 1 stone (14lbs) in the last 6 months but there is still plenty of weight to come off.  My general fitness level was so low I could not even play with my son for 30 minutes without getting sweaty and out of breath, that’s when I realised I had to do something.

I don’t know much about fitness so didn’t want to jump in and hurt myself and end up not doing anything about it once I recovered.  My thinking is that the Wii Fit will get me started then after the two weeks are over I will start a real world exercise routine.  I especially want to start running so once I am fitter and lighter, I will be more confident about getting out there and really going for it.

I will be posting my Progress over the next two weeks so I would appreciate any support from anyone who is reading this.  Below are the details of my current position and my goal for the end of the two weeks.  I truly believe I can do this and I can’t wait for the last post in this series when I have reached my goal.

Day 1:

I have taken the initial tests before actual training and here they are;

BMI: 35.03

Weight: 18st 7lbs (117.3 kg)

Obese

Wii Fit Age: 29

Now acording to the Wii Fit, because my Wii Fit age is the same as my actual age, I am in good shape, but thats straight after it said I was obese.

Well there were no surprises during thoses tests, I already new I was overweight and my BMI was through the roof.  I set the maximun loss I could which was 1st 8lbs for two weeks and the target BMI for that is 32.04.  I know really my BMI should be about the mid 20’s but every journey, no matter how long always begins with one setp.
