Karlynn, the Wii Fit sounds awesome. I've barely used a Wii (my stepson & his wife's Wii); it encourages activity for most of the games I saw. I'm impressed with the detail to health enhancement they've offered. Cool!

My Wii Fit lasts longer than 5 minutes.Karlynn...that is amazing!!!....Sounds like fun......sorry...I think I will stick with SuperBob's old style trainer....out dated?....maybe....but smells good and is softer
I need the sustained cardio workout as well so I feel I have to encorporate both. Not to mention the warantee on my "Gii Fit" expired long ago so I can't return him.....oops.....I mean "it". My "Gii Fit" must be the old model because "it" isn't particularly soft and only smells good if I nag "it" to put on after shave. But "it" is as cute as the dickens. 
My Wii Fit lasts longer than 5 minutes.
Longer than 5 minutes....LOL.....musta paid a lot for "it".....LOL.....Don't be confused, the old style can be traded in for a new model but that's extremely cost prohibitive

The Man of Steel made no progress in losing his second bundle of 20 pounds this week. Stuck at what's effectively been a plateau for a while. No change.
Today, Superbob has his first appointment with the physical therapists for his knee. Maybe that will lead to some exercise being back in the mix.
Superbob does think he deserves a little credit. He knew where DW's coconut custard pie was at midnight last night, but he refrained from taking even a little whittle.

Good job?..I too am stuck on a plateau that swings three pounds?.I guess I need to reconsider the ?E? word and get off my butt?.
Great resolve!!!!....That pie would have been history at my house.

Mary - you rock!
Cooker - well, you figured it's wouldn't be your best week. Just get back on the horse.
SB - You have mitigating circumstances with your knee and not being able to exercise for a while. Keep the resolve!
khawkk - you down 9 total - a +1 could just be a little water retension
I was down 4. But my scales were going Cah-ray-zee. So my new WW scales show I'm down 2. But I think I'll just use that as my new starting weight and start a new assault. I told my Wii Fit that my target weight loss was 12 pounds. So I'll report on that.

It looks like everyone is having a good week!
Jack, that is awesome! I don't see a sewn up mouth in your future. Maybe in our CEO's, but not yours!
Wise and Cindy, you've both surpassed my weight loss efforts, and I'm happy for you both! I seem to do better when everyone else is doing good. Must be the old "strength in numbers" attitude!
Karlynn, congratulations! You and the Wii fit trainer will have the 12 pounds off in no time!
SuperBob, once again, your icy resolve to battle coconut custard pie saves the day (oops, guess it was night!) Way to go!
Cooker, celebrate today, and then get back on the plan tomorrow. And frankly, I think your personal trainer idea is a good one! I believe she goes by the name DW!

Sunday I was down a pound, Monday back even, then the digestive tract decided to go on holiday and I am considering mugging Cooker for his prunes. I'm up to 130 today, from 127 last week, despite behaving myself food-wise. UGH.
I just have to keep behaving, make sure I get my exercise and swap oatmeal for shredded wheat.

...the same thing happened to me?..Hang tough?.and if you are exercising anyway?put in a lap or two for me

Good morning! Sounds like most everyone is doing well, or at least not going backwards.
I, too, am at a plateau of sorts. Haven't lost, haven't gained. Fluctuates 3 pounds on and 3 pounds off. But still holding onto the 25 lost since surgery.
My life is finally (fingers crossed) going to resemble normal now, if you can call going from empty nester to 2, 20 year olds coming home to live for the summer. Yep! Our daughter returned from her 4 months in South America on Wednesday. OMG it is good to see her. And our son in Seattle has decided to move back to Portland and hang out with us until he finds some roommates. He does have a full time job waiting here, so that's good. However, we're in the suburbs and buses not too good, so I'll be playing taxi driver a LOT this summer!
I had hoped I would be down another 20 (or at least 10) pounds by the time our daughter returned. Nope. But during that time, I have been just inundated with caring for my father's needs. The latest bout (and I so hope the final adventure) was getting him into the hospital for a little prostate work. While in recovery, his residential facility called me to tell me not to bring him back. I had already given 30 days notice since I had found a locked facility (remember, he has Alzheimer's and walked off his campus and hopped on a city bus. Plus he has combativeness issues). But I had not even gotten things finalized (not even an assessment by the new place as to whether they would even take him or not). He was due to be released from the hospital the very next day (last friday) and OMG. That was an awful day full of phone calls to attorneys, ombudsmen, social workers, referral people, new facility administrators. Ug. The hospital social worker was an angel and said how rude for the old place to "dump" him and he could stay in the hospital until the new place was ready for him. Gratefully, the new place got their rears in gear and got things set up for a monday move. So. Monday I moved him in. The whole weekend my husband and I moved out his apartment full of stuff. You'd think, with the 95+ temps and all that sweat I'd have lost some weight!!! Definitely got a workout.
ANYWAY (thanks for listening!). He is adjusting beautifully to the new, very simplified (and locked) facility. He has a great outdoor walking path (with a fence that was coming un-nailed which I pointed out to them!!) and he is pretty confused but I honestly think, misses his beautiful old place even though he can no longer articulate such things (it really was quite innovative and lush with gardens but too much freedom).
So I've learned that I definitely use chocolate for a stress fix! I think since I am not able to drink caffeinated beverages much, when I get stressed, I want to think clearly and reach for chocolate for a quick pick me up. Then, of course, I do a sugar nose dive and it becomes totally counterproductive.
But boy, that bag of cookies with the fudge center did taste good!!
My policewoman is back (my daughter) and she will scold me if she sees anything in the house resembling a diet buster. So that is good!!
Okay. That was way too much information, but I come here more like you are my psychologists than my nutrition counselors!!! Time to get off the "sofa" and get my a** moving again.
No plans for weekend. Daughter in a wedding, but a small affair with only a dessert reception (I will not partake....unless there are those melt in your mouth "wedding cookies"....the softly crunchie powdered sugar dusted melt in your mouth crushed nut things.....oh........just 2! I promise!!!!)
Hang in there everyone.
