I'm considering this one done. A couple of weeks ago, I completed the "6 Week Challenge" on the Wii Active and each workout had lots of training with the band and using my own body weight for resistance. So even though I technically wasn't "lifting" weights, my purpose for putting this goal on my 101 Goals in 1001 Days list was fulfilled.
I didn't even turn on the Wii during Spring Break, but I did walk and hike a couple of times last week. This morning, I started a new "6 Week Challenge" on the advanced level. Oh. My. Glory. They're not messing around with the advanced challenge! I was totally out of breath, which may have had something to do with taking the last 10 days off. Or it may have had to do with the fact that I have no business setting the level to ADVANCED!
Regardless, I figured out that I've lost 15 pounds since we received the Wii for Christmas. Granted, my "starting weight" was calculated on the night of Christmas, and everyone knows how much you gorge during the holidays. Plus you weigh at least two pounds more at night than in the morning. Still, I've shed some pounds and am thrilled. Five of those pounds have come off since giving up sugar for Lent, so that's been contributing, too. I'm back to my pre-Jason weight, but not my pre-Mike's-unemployed-and-it's-the-holidays-so-I'll-eat-whatever-I-want 2008 weight. I still have 10 more pounds to go to get back to "normal" for me. And about the time I get back into my old wardrobe, I'll probably be knocked up again, but whatever. I'm not throwing in the towel just yet!

That's a good one to get marked off the list. It sounds like you are doing great.
I had my 6 wk today and will be at the gym in the morning. I'm so ready to get some more weight off.
My brother has a Wii fit and my kids love playing on that thing. They'll just run forever...
You go to LA Fitness right? Do you do the Body Works plus Abs class? It is awesome! Works muscles I didn't even know I had and also helps me with my form a lot. When I first started, I couldn't do more than a few pushups on my knees... thanks to that class, now I can do lots of man-style push ups! Be sure to check out that class if you haven't already!
Good for you Katie. I'm trying to get fit this year too, and have slipped again. Just reading this post has motivated me to get my wiifit back out and keep doing it. It must feel good to have that marked off your list.
