spaceace12 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I need to think about joining a gym, I would like to weigh about 220 (around 250 right now) or a little less because I got a gut on me. I just work in an industry where I get 25 minutes for lunch and I don't eat too healthy at all. ^Yeah that's obese! Robb is just fluffy What stage of fluffy though?
robbalvey Posted November 13, 2008 Author Posted November 13, 2008 Robb, I think it's great that you're trying to lose weight. Though I thought the Wii Fit went a little overboard calling you 'obese'. I mean you're pretty big, but you're not obese! Don't worry, I didn't take any offense to Wii Fit calling me obese! The little guy just calls them as he seems 'em! While I may not look so "obese" on the outside (Here's a pic from a few weeks ago)... I do hide my obesity well! --Robb
terrancew_hod Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 ^MMMMM... Walffle House! Perhaps, I'll give Terrence a run for his money. Oh yes, I demand hobbit feet pictures! 1. Ditto on the hobbit feet! 2. Run for my money, eh? Well I still got a ways to go myself; although for a guy about 6 months from his 41st birthday, it's not bad at all! I got exes to make jealous! Terry EDIT: For those without a Wii I used "Yourself Fitness" (for PC, XBox and Playstation 2) to lose 30 lbs when I started my exercise program. I was consistent with the program and it randomized my workouts which I liked. Select the type of workout so Miss Maya can wear you out!
grinch1313 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Good luck, Robb! I'm also using the Wii Fit method of weight loss. I just finally found my copy on Thursday. I was so excited. So far I'm down 5 lbs and my Wii Fit age is down from 41 to my actual age of 29. It's actually really fun and motivating me to exercise. My brother and his girlfriend are both playing too and we keep bettering each other's scores.
notudon Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Good luck. I found Wii Fit to be a good work out and fun at the same time. The hardest thing is using it consistently.
nay Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Good luck! I love that video games offer a fun way to lose weight and become healthier. It looks like the DDR craze has faded, but I used to use that quite a bit for exercise. Looking forward to seeing your progress!
spacemtfan Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 You know...that Wii Fit game really reminds me of the Brain Age games for the DS. What stage of fluffy though? I remember that Gabriel Iglesias made that joke. Last time I checked, the five stages of fat are: Big, Healthy, Husky, Fluffy, and "DAMN!".
TheRapidsNerd Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Robb, you've got my support. You did it last year and you'll do it again this year. No doubt. Kick A$$ and take names!
JFrombaugh Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 You weigh 260 lbs Robb? I believe that's what Homer weighed when he got stuck on the H2Whoa slide, and decided to lose weight! What a coincidence!
BarryH Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Good luck, Robb! You know, 30 pounds in 30 days calls for a... montage! Montage! Girl, we need a montage!
baekbal Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Good luck! I'm sure your wife will love your new look! Also it's not only for the appearance but importantly your overall health. I'm a health freak so let me give you some tips. You need to exercise according to your body type and level. Extreme exercises should be saved for later. Diet is very very very important! Proper diet alone can shed so many unwanted pounds. 30lbs in 30days is very achievable, with diet you can exceed that. If you are really obese, exercise that require you to stand for a long time can cause damage to your joints. So consider bikes, swimming, ball exercises, or certain machine until you feel more comfortable.. Anyways hope you the best!
mr_teisco_delrey Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Good luck. I was riding a bike over the summer with great results, especially for my bad back. With winter coming I need to get a trainer to put my bike on. I might just look into a Wii to supplement the riding. I know my kids would love it.
carolinacaniac Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 montage! Montage! Girl, we need a montage! YES!!!!!! You can always count on Team America! BTW, Will this edition of 30 lbs. in 30 days feature Icees?
rollin_n_coastin Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Robb, sounds like you're pumped! Can't wait to hear all about how the Wii Fit helped out. Wishing you only the best of luck. I'm sure, like many of us on here, know that you'll meet your goals, both short and long term! Best, J
kenshinmac Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Ok I'm definitely going to keep up with this thread and use it to inspire me. My WiiFit hasn't gotten near the workout it should have. Besides I need to feel a bit better in a swimsuit by Schlitterbahn... We're rooting for you Robb! You can do it!
AllenA07 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Best luck Robb. I'm actually wanting to do basically the same thing right now, but I'm having a hard time find a Wii Fit.
JimmyBo Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Way to go Robb. I believe in you. If I ever find a WiiFit out here in AZ I was totally going to use this as a source of exercise. You know what the monks say..."If you have more exercise in your life, you can drink more beer and it won't show in your gut." Good luck fatty...I mean Robb
larrygator Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Good luck fatty...I mean Robb My exact sentiments.
PeoplemoverMatt Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Good luck Robb!! Though it wasn't my original goal, I did about 100lbs in about 120 days from September to December 2002. It was just about the best thing that I've ever done for myself. Go for the insane, then go beyond the insane, and keep going!!
thrillerman1 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 You can do it! I wish you the BEST Robb!
Big Mike Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I will donate 2 free movie tickets if you make your goal! Oh wait, that was a different weight loss thread! Best of luck dude!!! You da man! Peace, Big Mike
Guy T. Koepp Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Want me to come over there and work your ass off tomorrow night and Friday? Perhaps we can hit the gym as well.
