Wii Fit and my Weight Loss

28 days ago I picked up a Wii Fit for my Wii.  I had read the stories of people losing weight, having fun working out, and generally just having a blast playing the balance games.  I’ve been eating well (or better than I had been) for a while but didn’t see any progress, so I hoped the Wii Fit would help me too.

My journey began at 304 pounds.  I have PCOS which has made weight loss hard on diet alone.  I’ve tried the Dr. Atkins diet and others with no progress.  Then I found a book by an endocrinologist that changed the way I viewed food.  The pure science behind what we eat and how it affects it our body just amazed me.  It was very similar to Dr. Atkins, but I was allowed to eat 15 carbs at every meal and 7 at each snack.  I felt better, had energy, and learned more importantly to eat in balance.

I’ve taken this information and combined it with 35-50 mintues a day (sometimes every other day) on my Wii Fit.

In 28 days I have lost 6 pounds!  I can only thank God for placing the information before me that I needed to finally make some progress. He has been such a help to me in seeing my body and my health for what it really is… a way to glorify Him.

I have decided to keep track of my progress and post pictures as I continue this journey.  I hope to inspire others who are searching for ways to lose weight, or even those who were like myself and questioned whether the Wii Fit could help them.
