The GayGamer.net 2009 Wii Fit Challenge
A new year has begun and everyone has made their resolutions. One of the most common for this time of year is losing weight. Gym memberships swell in January and then sort of trail off after people get bored, forget they made the resolution in the first place, or they simply just don't have time. Well like all those other folks, my big resolution is to drop some pounds. I was doing well there for a while and then my friends Ben and Jerry started stopping by on a regular basis and it was all over. Then our own Wootini showed us all how it could be done with his amazing transformation using Wii Fit as part of his exercise routine. Needless to say, the shots of his new hot bod inspired many of us to wish we could get that too.
So, here is my challenge! I have gone out and purchased a Wii Fit and I plan on dropping 40 lbs. I'm sure there are others out there who wish to do the same thing and Wii Fit or not, you too can join in on the challenge. Of course if you do have one it makes things much easier, but this is really all about getting healthy. I have started a group in our forums called "The GayGamer.net 2009 Wii Fit Challenge." Anyone who is interested can sign up and we will use the forum as a place to meet weekly and post our Wii-Fit results, share pictures of our progress and help encourage each other to keep trying for our goals. Whoever loses the most weight by the end of the challenge (date to be determined) will win a fabulous prize (prizes to be determined)! Prizes will be given out for most weight loss in both categories: with and without Wii Fit.
You must be a member of the forums to join this group so if you are interested in joining you can sign up for the forums here. If you are already a forum member and wish to join the group, you can do it here. Well be taking applications for the rest of the week and weekend and the official challenge will begin this coming Monday. Good luck to everyone and I hope to see you in the challenge!

I just put in for a join request. As it is the wii fit makes for an expensive door stop
Good luck guys :) Might I add the suggestion that you give the prize to the person who loses the most relative weight, since someone who is 250 losing 50 pounds (20%) is a bigger accomplishment than someone who is 400 losing 50 (12.5%), just a thought.
I'm in that crazy boat where I am trying to gain weight, WiiFit says I am underweight :(
Totally count me in on this! I'm definitely getting in shape this year!
And how do you describe the categories? Right now I'm using Wii Fit as an additional tool for weight loss. Is the "With Wii Fit" category solely using Wii Fit without additional exercise?
I like the sound of this! I put in my request to join the group!
I'm in! Wootini is making the rest of us GayGamer writers look bad.
Wait, so does this mean I'm disqualified? No fair! ;-)
Hey, all. I'm also trying to loose 40 or perhaps just 30 pounds. I to just got Wii Fit but I need a Wii Console so hopefully I can get one a.s.a.p. and I'll post my updates as well. Good luck!
how very oprah :D
