I recently was sent a copy of the Your Shape for the Wii to use as part of a 12 week challenge I was chosen for through Collective Bias. I have been using it now for about 8 weeks (minus 2 weeks in the middle when I was traveling) and I would like to share with you my thoughts on the game.
About the game

Developed in collaboration with fitness experts, Your Shape creates a fitness program personalized to help you meet your fitness goals. Featuring an exclusive camera (the first for Wii!), the game detects your movements so that Jenny McCarthy, your in-game workout buddy and guide, can correct your form as you exercise. We know how hard it is to stick to a fitness routine — that’s why Jenny will be by your side to encourage, motivate, and entertain you as you workout. Fitness has never been this effective or fun!” ~ taken from YourShapeGame.com click here to read my review of Your Shape

Skinny Minne, thats what people used to call me a VERY long time ago. Check out this waistline (me in 1989, hubby was pretty skinny then too…)
Over the years I attended college (can you say Freshmen 30), had 4 kids (used the fact that I was gonna have more as an excuse not to loose weight in between), and quit working (thus sitting around more on the couch). Put this all together and I have gone from “Skinny Minnie” to someone I don’t even recognize, someone who has gained 80 pounds in 14 years, someone who has to buy new clothes when the seasons change cause she keeps gaining weight, someone who is disgusted that she let it get this bad. I have been disgusted for years but I have not been ready to do anything about it, I think I am finally ready. Maybe its because I’m quickly approaching 40 (only 2 more years yikes!), maybe its because I can’t keep up with my kids anymore, maybe its because I can feel the fat around my midsection folding up when I sit down, whatever the reason, I want to be healthy for me and for my family. It’s time, it’s been time and I keep ignoring it.
