Saying Bye to My Wii Fit

Dear Wii Fit,

You've helped me so much, getting me off of the couch and onto an exercise routine. In fact, I lost eight pounds and two clothing sizes because of you. You were the type of friend everyone needs -- the one who tells people when they have spinach between their teeth. I loved how you would groan when I stepped on you, just to let me know that I'm still not skinny. How you would keep me honest with any weight gain, even making me try to figure out why I gained weight. On my birthday, you even wore a little birthday hat! And, when I didn't see you for a few days, you'd yell at me, and wouldn't be willing to listen to any excuses, such as "I was on vacation" or "I had the flu".

But now, I'm moving on. You got me so into working out that I've moved past what you can provide. You knew that -- you even suggested I start doing outside activities. But now, I haven't seen you in over a week. I think we've done.

I'll still visit, once in a while. I may need to work on my balance or try something different. But, I'm not going to see you daily anymore.

Thanks for everything!
Love, Jodi

You have renewed my dedication! I was getting a bit upset that I wasn't seeing any significant progress. However, to read that you were Wiing everyday and actually lost sizes, wow. Now I know what I am doing wrong, allowing life to make the excuses...

Michelle - keep working at it! I think the hula hoop was most effective at trimming my clothing size!

Wow. Eight pounds and two sizes. Way to go. I think I hear my balance board calling me!
