Rep Power: 50 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Diet: Slimming World Height: 5' 6" | Wii Fit Plus and a question. Hey Guys, thought i'd tell you about this, as my husband bought it for me today, i must say its fab. I have the original one, which i really enjoyed. The new one uses all the data you collected in the first one and has all the same games on it, plus the new ones so you don't have to keep swapping discs. The best thing imo is that after each activity, it gives you the amount of calories you have burned and counts them all up. I think you can create your own workouts, i only had a quick go on it, but i love it already. It's only £17 which for a wii game is great as they're usually much more then that. My question is, how many calories should you burn daily to make a difference to weight loss? |

Hmmm, does anyone know how many calories you save when using points? Does say 20 points mean you only have certain calories like 1500 a day? etc I have heard great things about wii fit, plus etc, I've got EA Sports and My Fitness Coach! Both very tiring and have me aching afterwards! EA Sports is amazing! I burn about 600 calories in 3 workouts, I tend to do the proper 20 day challenge they set out which you burn on average about 180 calories per session, and then i do my own picked workout afterward for 15mins doing boxing and dancing to tone up my arms! and that burns about 120 really great fun, only about £25 in some places, definitely worth the money |

but i know what you mean when i first started i jumped into the deep end straight on medium, i felt so bad after lol, in a good way of course! Soon went straight to easy, but then got into it, now back on medium and making my way to do hard mode! It is great fun, but like you say sometimes you feel like your dying especially with the running! I'm a bit worried about my calorie intake at the moment, after hearing you need to lose on average 3500 a week to lose 1lb?? I have just counted up all my calories in which I've eaten up today, and it comes to approx 1000 and I've burnt off 300 of them on EA Sports... so I've only had 700 calories today? - i know i want to lose weight, and I'm sticking to the points, but seriously no wonder I'm not shifting this weight if I'm only having so few calories a day? so confused! | |

Might have to give it another go. I no what you mean about the calories but i imagine (could be wrong) that if your bigger its different, |

Obv everyone is different and the maintain start calories are determined by height/age/activity levels/gender etc The 3500 calories less per week is the same for everyone though - its just the daily allowance start amount that would differ. Most healthy eating plans don't recommend eating less than 1100 ish per day anyway. Hope I havnt confused it now he he

PS: what do you count fruit as in calories? I've never been able to figure it out, i know it's not much but might help a bit to put more calories on to the daily amount lol | ||
