When I purchased Wii Fit and did my first weigh in, I came in at 185 lbs. Now, I’m not some chunky guy, but a 5’7” guy weighing in at 185 lbs tends to have some signs of love handles. I set my goal in Wii Fit to get down to 170 lbs. I set a goal of 3 months, figuring 5 lbs a month may be achievable. It’s taken a little while longer than that, but I weighed in at 170 yesterday. Now, my weight tends to head back up a couple pounds on the weekend, since this is when Paige and I head out to eat, but that’s fine. My next goal is to get down to 160 lbs. Wii Fit says my ideal weight is 148 lbs, but that’s just too skinny for me. I used to weigh that much back when I was around 28, and when I look at old photos my face was very skinny. I think 160 may be a good stopping point. To achieve this goal I pretty much just try to watch what I eat. I try to weigh in on the Wii Fit every day at the same time, and use it to work out when I have a chance.
