good luck - IMHO forget the wii, nothing beats fresh air and exercise - i dont deny that you can get a good sweat going with the wii fit kind of stuff, the thing is making the commitment to get dressed, lace up your sneakers and get out that door is a discipline builder, and to maintain a healthy weight requires (for most of us) a lifestyle change that HAS to be permanent, and that takes discipline

you can do this

Except for the part where in the middle of summer here it's about 100F, so indoors > outdoors. The EA Sports Active "game" is a fairly intense workout, so it works well in tandem with other things.

I had made a lifestyle change for the most part the last time around, but then I moved, took up a desk job where I actually had to work in an office, got sedentary, stopped working out, and ended up gaining close to 50lbs in a year and a half.
