Fitness Friday-Starting Point
I have to start this post by saying that committing to this project publicly has been difficult for me. I have been overweight for the last 20 years. My weight has gone up and down. I have done Weight Watchers 3-4 different times, Beverly Hills Weightloss, Atkins Diet, South Beach Diet, Carbohydrate Addicts diet and who knows what else. I've joined the YMCA, Shapes, Curves, Jazzercized and I own at least 20 exercise videos. I have now begun a medical program prescribed by my doctor. I must lose at least 6 pounds a month to remain on my program and I see him once a month to weigh in. My total weightloss goal is 62 pounds in 2009.
I started the diet portion of the program 2 weeks ago and even with Christmas and New Years I have lost 1 pound. Tomorrow I start the exercise part of my program. This part centers around my Wii Fit. I have had the Wii Fit for 6 months and originally I was on it a lot. I lost 8 pounds rather quickly and then I stopped using it regularly. My January Wii Fit goal is 1/2 hour 4 days a week.
Each Friday I will be writing a Fitness Friday post updating the good and the not so good parts of this journey. I have joined 2 fitness forums. I am going to check them both out during the month of January and then I will choose 1 to stay with for the rest of the year (I can't overcommit to online activities). I challenge you to join me in getting healthier in 2009.

Great goal! That's mine, too. :-) It's nice that you know you can lose weight on it, isn't it? My problem is staying motivated so I'm hoping that keeping accountable with my Wii Fit Mommy friends will help! :-)
