I don't like to say that I'm on a diet, but I'm...erm... watching what I eat and exercising more so, therefore, I'm on a diet.
I don't really know where it all started but I had a go on the Wii Fit and now I can't stop playing on it.
I've been using the Wii Fit for almost 2 weeks now. I like the balance games which are very low impact in my joints and I love the tennis on the Wii Sports. I have to play with my left hand because of my shoulder but I'm doing ok and burning a lot of calories doing it.
I've also been using an app called My Fitness Pal where you can log the foods you eat and how much exercise you do. There is also www.myfitnesspal.com which syncs in with the phone app so you can use both. The app has a barcode scanner so you can tell how many calories are in something straight away. The only criticisms I have is that people can put in what they think the values are so therefore I think some of the values might be a little far fetched. Also, people don't cook anymore so trying to find the value of a parsnip was a little tricky. My Mum is a proper cook so working out what's she's made can be a pain. I have to add everything together and divide by how many portions she makes.
My Mum and Dad are really helping me, my Dad bought me some scales to weigh my food which was lovely of him.
After first week I lost 6lbs but then then the next day the Wii said I'd put 4lb back on so I don't know what happened there.
I didn't have a good weekend with food as I went to see my friend from university. She's using the same website as I am and she's lost 2 and a half stone. We were a little naughty this weekend but according to the scales I haven't put any weight on so that's good.
I'm weighing myself every Thursday morning to take an average over the week.
So from here on, I'm trying to lose weight and now I've written it on here I've got to do it!
