...WHY I LOVE THIS GAME I recently bought this after buying the wii console from a catalogue. Its great to use and simple to use. There is no cables to trip over as its wireless and connects to the wii console using infrared. It has lots of fun activities for the whole family and allows you to workout in freedom of your own living room instead of having to pay out for expensive gym membership.

It has a variety of exercises to do which include the areobic side of it which is step, boxing, jogging and hula hooping.

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

LOSE WEIGHT, LOOK GREAT

Advantages: Losing weight is easy and you don't have to give up your favourite foods, great support offered, lots of local meetings during the day and eveing
Disadvantages: Weekly fee can make it an expensive way to lose weight

...At the beginning of the year I was prescribed Xenical to help me lose weight, it did work but was very slow and the side effects were very nasty so I wasn?t disappointed when my GP temporarily took me off them when I went down with a nasty illness in the Summer. However, whilst the side effects had gone there was still a downside ? having stopped the tablets all the weight I had lost, and more, suddenly started to pile back on. Initially I ignored it but when all the new clothes I had bought got to the point of being too tight I decided I had to do something positive but something that didn?t involve going back on the Xenical. I had often thought of joining Weight Watchers and it had been highly recommended to me by several people, however, as I?m not a fruit, salad or veg person I didn?t believe that any kind of ?NORMAL? diet...

How I am managing to lose weight

Advantages: Finally found a way!
Disadvantages: Takes a radical change of lifestyle!

..., restaurants became our haunt. Every week I would eat in a fancy restaurant, spending thousands of pounds on food. In 2004, with my wedding approaching, I wanted to lose weight for the first serious time ever. Taking a leaf out of my then anorexic wife's book, I starved myself, eating just fruit or salad, cutting out everything I could. I was ill, tired and run-down, but I slimmed down to 14st 1 and felt pretty good. Clearly, something was wrong - I was not eating healthily. PART 3: TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT STAGE ONE - THE WEIGHT LOSS GROUP By early 2006, my wife was free from the power of eating disorders, but I was locked in a cycle of poor eating habits. I hated the feeling of being fat. I'm a teacher, and it makes you painfully self aware to stand in front of 150 different kids each day. They can be cruel, and some weight related comments...

Review of Charlie Brooks - Before And After Workout (DVD)

Lose weight the easy way

Advantages: Losing weight in a healthy way
Disadvantages: You need to be mentally dedicated otherwise its easy to stray! Can be costly.

.... The first one you get is half a stone which may not sound a lot but they show you what 2lbs of fat looks like and its not a pretty site! There are also awards for Slimmer of the week and Slimmer of the Month. Sadly I have never achieved these but not to worry! Then there is Club 10. This is basically awarded when you have lost 10% of your weight. They do well you in your handbook how to work it out but they do tell you what it is if you ask. So that's good for anyone who is hopeless at maths! They say that losing 10% of your weight has amazing health benefits and this is why they do it. If you manage to keep it off or lose more for 10 weeks then they will give you a week for free. I was gutted as I went 8 weeks losing or maintaining and then I put on. I tried my best but I was really ill and had to keep eating loads (that's my excuse anyway...

Review of Slimming World

I can eat food this good AND lose weight??

Advantages: tastes gorgeous, satisfying
Disadvantages: A little bit more expensive than some meals

...Ok so maybe I'm eating too many ready meals at the moment but I am determined to get in that little bikini ready for my much needed holiday in the summer and I'm sure there's many of you out there like me, who need a little help and don't have the time to prepare a fresh meal 2 or 3 times a day. So with this in mind, I am hoping that this review may help you out a little bit! I joined Weight Watchers after putting on a little bit of weight due to the birth of my daughter. I had always been a size 8 - 10 and I just wasn't happy with the extra pounds I seemed to have gained so was determined to lose them again. I found that the plan really worked for me and I lost the additional weight really easily (it's always easy the first time, eh?) and was back to my old, thinner, happier self within a few months gaining gold member status...

Review of WeightWatchers Chicken and Lemon Risotto

Try this if you are trying to lose weight.

Advantages: Lose weight and feel great
Disadvantages: weekly fee a little expensive

...I have never had any willpower when it comes to loosing weight, after yo-yo dieting for many years, since the age of 15, I had resigned myself to being fat. I would never have thought of going to a slimming class in my life, you here all these horror stories of going to slimming classes and having the mickey taken out of you, especially if you had not lost weight that week. So the thought of going to a slimming class made me feel sick with fright. My two cousins persuaded me to go along with them, although not totally convinced that it would work, I thought why not give it a try I had nothing to lose Within the first week, we had made friends, and I felt quite at ease at the class, I was worried that I would be the fattest person in the class, but when I seen that other people were in the same position as myself I felt more...

Review of Weight Watchers

Watch your weight, but don't lose it

Advantages: Not restrictive, flexible
Disadvantages: Expensive, may not work

...and broccoli, this might be the way to go. You eat what you like from the list, and supplement it with a certain number of 'points' foods a day [for instance, you might use the points to add some parmesan on your pasta and veg]. These two diets together are called 'Switch'. Exercise is also included in the diet in a sense. Exercise has a points value, up to a certain daily amount, which you can substract from your point intake, thus allowing you to either eat more or lose weight more quickly. What else is there? Well, included in your price is the use of the website, with calculators, articles on things like exercise and healthy eating, success stories, motivational tips, message boards, etc. Some people seem to love the message boards, and I'm sure there are some wonderful people there. However, I didn't find them too helpful...

Review of Weight Watchers

There is a magical way of losing WEIGHT!

Advantages: An easy to follow diet, meet new friends
Disadvantages: It is a little expensive every week

...I gave birth to my first baby in December 2002. Before I had her, I was always on and off of diets trying to shift the "extra" stone I considered excess weight. Nothing ever seemed to work for me. Looking back I can see that was because they never gave away a free "willpower" and thats what let me down. **I swear cakes and chocolate have little voices only I can hear and they call my name and beg me to eat them** After putting on 4 stone (yes 4 stone, i really did eat for 2, well more like 12) during pregnancy, I decided that for me to have any chance of losing the weight, I had to join some kind of diet group pretty darn sharpish. Weight watchers was recommended to be by a friend who has to date lost nearly 5 stone in 9 months. I decided to go, knowing that i'd probably still eat cake, but at least i'd have a shoulder to...

Review of Weight Watchers

Lose weight feel healthy with the suport of others

Advantages: eat what you like, easy to follow, lots of products avaliable, good support
Disadvantages: costs £4.95 a meeting!

...Well I only joined Weight Watchers 3 weeks ago but already I feel so much better and i've lost weight!! My first meeting started by filling out a registration form and then facing the truth of how much I weighed! I was surprised to find I was 10st 9lbs, 7lbs more than that time last year! After being weighed and it being recorded on my membership card I then stayed for the optional meeting where the leader discussed what to avoid and what kind of swaps you can make. I then stayed after this meeting with that weeks new members and we talked through the handbook we received and chose which diet to follow: the No count plan where you can eat as much as you like of certain approved foods such as lean meats, veg and fruit, however I chose the Full choice plan where you can eat whatever you like when you like as long as you stick to...
