How I Lost 100 Pounds: Wii Weekly!

700 days since I last used the Wii fit, and I still take offense when the little board sadly sighs "oh" when I step on.  Yeah, buddy, I'm back.

I'm motivated by the progress charts, by the improvements I know are on the way, and by helpful messages like this:

 Yep, I can do better than that, and I'll hit it again tomorrow.  Wii!
