Personally, I’ve never tried Wii Fit, but I would love so I can get back on the wagon.

Recently, a sister of mine tried Sensa and she has lost over 20 lbs. within a few months.

Oh please Rachel, I watched your potato video (and voted) and you did not look fat at all! I know what you mean. Toby has a bit of a complex about himself. He’s 13, 190, size 10 shoe….he’s not FAT but he’s a big stout boy that slightly chubbier than his classmates. It bothers him but I just tell him that he’s gonna be able to take down Tyler so easy this Summer. LOL

Cooking less chicken fry? oy…good luck with that. Taters, steak, chicken fry oh my! I can maybe avoid eating it but not cooking it? My guys would kill me;)

Good luck with you’re walking! I got the Wii too and will be working out! :)

I did the potato video of me last night and when I watched it… I wanted to cry. How did I get that fat?
I won’t even weigh myself for fear.

We have the wii fit and I’m upgrading us to the Plus for Christmas. I’m going to start walking again in the mornings and using the Fit to hopefully lose the weight.
I made a vow a while ago to never talk about my body, weight or how I see myself around my children. I do NOT want them to see how I think or to think that how I look has any bearing on how others see me or my self esteem (did that ramble make ANY sense?)

I’m going to try to cook less chicken fried steaks, less pastas and be healthier…

here’s to hoping.

<3 thanks for writing htis

I think we should be better friends! haha! I weighed as much as you just a week ago. THEN – I got sick and lost 8lbs. Still in the 190’s tho. It makes me mad to think that I’ve gotten this way. But, seriously…who thinks about it until it’s out of control? Well, we should. I guess it just counts with what you do from here on out. Good luck – and wish me luck as well! I’ll stay in touch!!

I’m so proud of you for never giving up…here you are, still trying. I think the main thing I do is think that things are too hard or take too much time. When if I’d just go do it, it wouldn’t be hard at all!

I love the wii for weight loss, it (combined with counting points with WW) has been the first time I have lost weight in 10+yrs.

Btw, God seeks prayer from us in all forms, and tells us to ask for the desires of our heart. It’s a great idea to ask for the strength and discipline it takes for long term weight loss!

Well, Lori…I am right there with ya! You’ve seen me and can totally tell I’ve gained weight (arrgghhh). 15 lbs to be exact…ahhh!! But, I’m back in the saddle again (ya like the saddle analogy ;) – 2 weeks in to be exact and I can already tell I just feel better even though I haven’t lost a darn pound!

I will hold you accountable girl, I just need to know if you want a phone call, text, skype or tweet…cause I will be one you like chub on the rub…that will be gone oh so soon!!

I have totally fallen off the wagon. When I was younger I was depressed about being too thin. I could eat anything and not gain an ounce. Now I breathe and I gain weight. My stomach is so big, I have to wear spanx so I can see my feet. I feel like I’m pregnant. And the triple chin I have is so awful :( It’s like I’m carrying around a different person. My problem is not being able to really exercise and eating junk food and eating all of the time. Used to be that I couldn’t eat when I was upset now I stuff my face. Ugh!

I’m so with you on this. After baby #2, I worked hard at eating healthy and I was at my thinnest weight in years. Then I went back to my desk job, got preggo with number 3, started my business and the pounds starting piling on. Now I’m about 165 and only 5′2”. I’m tired of my double chin, and tired of being tired. I know a healthier eating routine will fix a lot, and some exercise will not hurt. Just need to get on track!
