Then just loose those 4 lbs and you're set! I used my Wii Fit to get a little in shape, and when I thought I was ready for more, went to the gym. After some time in the gym, I tried swimming. And after some time swimming, I'm dancing. This way it isn't so hard to get used to exercise, and also you don't get too tired. Oh, and Wii Fit it's great to use while you watch tv! PS: Hope it helps you! Good luck!

I'm a PT and have used the Wii Fit and would like to point out that more than 90% of these replies are made by unintelligent, ignorant asses. My view on the Wii Fit is that it's amusing but not the best way to lose weight, especially the large numbers you're looking for. The balance board isn't that great, it added over 6 pounds to my weight, which isn't something you can overlook by saying "scales vary." I will say it's good at showing you basic movements and pretty decent at making sure your doing them correctly. In the long run, though, people need to change up the workout with weights or balance or it becomes repetitive motion and nothing more. You could try to run the exercise previews to see what they are and doing them without the board. While I haven't used it, the Wii Active is getting great reviews among trainers and doesn't require the balance board. But given your rehab issues, it really isn't a good idea to try anything without seeing a certified trainer, and even then, they'll want a detailed medical history if not doctor's approval before they can give a helpful work-out plan for you. I will recommend making a food log, not counting calories, but writing down exactly what you eat and when. You would be really surprised on how much that helps because a lot of my clients have no idea on how much or what their really eating in a day. Plus looking at it you can find healthy substitutes. Eating 3-5 small meals and snacks will keep you full throughout the day so when dinner comes you wont over-eat, like so many Americans have now been raised to do. I'd also suggest getting "Eat This, Not That: Supermarket Addition," it explains exactly why foods are good for you and gives you alternatives for everyday foods. Plus it explains how to read food labels, and that calorie numbers aren't the most important thing to consider (Reduced Fat may be less calories but 99.9% of the time the way their made actually makes them worse than the regular food). I understand that walking is still difficult, but any physical activity is better than nothing. Biking is your best bet for low-impact, swimming wont bother it at all, and even walking laps in a pool will take the pressure off of your leg. I get that the gym/trainer probably isn't an option for you right now (I know my pay compared to what people are paying to see me), but at this point it's probably your best bet. I've worked with clients with all sorts of backgrounds, weights, and injuries and we're trained to know how to work all your muscles out so you can lose the weight without making pre-existing conditions worse. Hope that helps.

Thank you for posting your story. Like I said earlier, we have a bunch of self-righteous ASSHOLES rampant in the comments sections of this site! You should all really be embarrassed for yourselves, and your parents - no matter what their age or yours - should be ashamed of the type of insensitive ***** and pricks they raised. **** all your lives for what you've said here today about this person!!!

Shut the **** up and stop whining. Your just a little bitch who wants to look good and i think a lot of people would agree with me shut the **** up

Your hurt ankle doesn't control how much you eat everyday. Your ankle is no excuse for how fat you have gotten.I'll try to help you. Eat less junk and more vegetables and fruit. Also drink more water and less everything else. Exercises that do not hurt your ankles are like Push ups, Sit ups, Bicycle kicks, Leg lifts like when you lift and hold your feet 6 inches of the ground. I don't know what you can do with your legs since your ankle is so hurt. Return the Wii Fit if you can and do regular exercise and eat right like a regular person. And my previous comment just above this is to Skullbasher not the OP

@ LoveMachine101 (heh) - Thanks for clarifying that. When cruel assholes like you jump on here to make your snotty little comments it's really hard to tell who you are talking to. And yes, people are here on FML trying to "look good". You're an idiot! Now that you are done reading this, go ahead and stick your head back up your ass...

Suck my dick ******

#242 - Wow, the sophistication emanating from you is overwhelming...you don't play Halo by any chance, do you? You sound exactly like the 85% of them on XBL whose entire vocabulary consists of vulgarity and slurs upon one's sexuality.

Good on you for making the steps to start to loose weight. **** the people who are putting you down. it doesn't matter HOW you put on weight... it matters that you care. I'm at 270, I was almost 300 when I realized it was time to start my weight loss journey. Try a nice simple exercise video to get down to where wii fit will let you, because wii fit is FUN! and wii in general helped me lose weight (I made a vow to use my whole body. That way any time I played games I played like a little kid... and it made exercising fun.

Good luck on your weight loss, I just recently lost about 35 pounds. It feels really good. Slow progress is better than no progress. Also I wasn't aware that the WiiFit had a weight limit.

I lost weight more from eating right than working out. 50lbs in six months.

I've never seen a comment that drains my faith in humanity more than this one.

**** off you ******* prick

Hahah omg
