Win a Wii Fit – PART 2!!!
Okay, ladies — how are your New Year’s weight loss resolutions or goals going?!?
On January 1st, we told you all about a fantastic site designed to help you lose weight through Visual Motivation called www.weightview.com.
The idea is simple. And it is FREE! You send in a photo of yourself and tell them your weight loss goal. They modify the photo to show you what you could look like after you reach your goal.
You use that “after” photo to motivate you to lose weight.
We also love that, since support from friends is key to your success, the weightview site has a great community where you can share your journey and have fun while getting healthy.
Testing WeightView.com
We even had three of our 5 Minutes for Mom readers be our TESTERS and sign up at www.weightview.com and submit their photos.
We promised to follow these ladies and check in with them at the end of the month to see how much closer they are to their goals.
And now, it is check in time…
Angela — MamaBearGetsChatty
The only time I was ever really slender was when I was single and B.C. (before child). I want to be healthy for my 15 year old son, my 2 year old son (whom we are in the process of adopting), and for my husband. I’m actually starting a “15% Club”, and have blogged about it at MamaBearGetsChatty.blogspot.com. I’ve invited any woman who wants to lose 15% of their weight or more, to come and join me on this journey to health, energy, and being able to shop for clothes that aren’t “plus sizes”! UPDATE: I really like www.weightview.com. It’s so motivational for me! I can look at that photo, and think “That’s going to be me in just a few months!” This has motivated me so much, that I have started a “club” for gals who want to lose at least 15% of their weight. It’s called “The 15% Club”. We have a private blog that only “club members” can view and post on. Some of the gals have even submitted their own “before” picture to www.weightview.com! |
Shelly — Write For A Reader
On my blog, I review books — mostly children’s books, but also YA, and adult titles. I have never been small, weight wise, but because I am tall I can carry more weight. About 3 months ago, I started to notice that my body was taking on a different shape, and my pants started to fit differently. So, I decided that, Jan. 1, I was going to do something, anything. That’s when I heard about weightview.com from 5 Minutes for Mom and knew that was the motivation I needed. UPDATE: WeightView is a great site! The submission process was a breeze. Once I logged on, I was walked through each step and found it very user friendly. All in all, it took me less than 10 minutes to set up a profile, add my pic and get started. It has been motivating to have the before picture instead of just a goal in my head. I have that “look” staring me in the face and the thought that I don’t want to look like that anymore. WeightView sends out motivating newsletters to help keep you going, and I’ve found that helpful as well. So far, I’ve lost 11 pounds, even with cheating now and then. Thank you for sharing this site with me. |
Michelle — Michelle’s Family Journal
I hope to lose 35 lbs give or take 5 or 10 lbs. I plan to eat more salads, fruits and vegetables and go to the gym while DD is in pre-school or art class. My after picture is the incentive that I need for motivation. Join me on my weight loss journey as I blog about it at Michelle’s Family Journal UPDATE: I do find that WeightView is helping me to lose weight, I’ve done very well if I say so myself at not buying junk food but eating fresh fruit and vegetable. I have avoided pop for the most part which is hard it’s like the cup of coffee to other people. I look forward to spending a lot more time browsing www.weightview.com in the evenings when I’ve time to look at exercise and meals that are low fat. I want to have more energy for chasing and keeping up with my daughter. Plus I’m tired of being asked “When are you due?!” |

Wow. That is all I have to say. I actually didn’t want to submit a photo at first because I thought they placed it on their website for all to view but I went ahead and submitted a photo anyway (one you couldn’t see my face just to be sure). Found out they don’t post your photo unless you tell them to. Which is great. The photo they sent back was amazing! How do they do that. I didn’t look all weird and distorted just a bit skinnier than I currently am. I started on the treadmill soon after and I just put on a pair of pants I haven’t worn in a year.
Great site.
I have lost 29 lbs. I need to lose 29 more lbs. to reach my weight loss goal! I hope I can make this happen in 2009! I would love a Wii Fit! The $160 would also help with modivation for weight loss! Great giveaway! Thanks!
I would like to try the wii fit it looks like fun.
Just started, at the advice of my doctor.
i want to lost weight so much
I had bariatric surgery a yr ago this past august… I have lost 240 lbs. this would help me maintain my goal weight!!
Thanks for offering the prize !!
That’s so cool! It would be neat to see each of the ladies after they’ve lost that amount of weight to see how accurate the body predictions were.
It is so much fun to read about everyone’s success. The photos are amazingly motivational! I didn’t feel like it was a good fit for me because I don’t need to lose any weight. I just need more strength training.
I like the Weight View site.
i tried getting one of these at christmas to no avail
The Wii is a good way to exercise.
this looks like fun
I would like to try the wii fit. I lost some weight but I need to tone.
Looks like a great motivator!
THanks!
Enter me please
Sign me up to win!
Thanks so much again!
The photo was amazing! Although at first I think it depressed me because I used to look like that. I think weightview is pretty awesome. I haven’t lost much but I am nursing and the pounds are clinging on for dear life trying to protect my baby from starvation. I am working on it very hard though. I would so love to have WiiFit
I signed up a couple of times and still havent recieved my photo back. I think the idea is great and would love to see my photo. But it has inspired me and I re-signed up for ww for round 2. Thanks for the inspiration! WiiFit come home baby!
I would love the chance to win.
Thank You!
I really liked the weightview photo, although after they made me look smaller my head is a little bigger then the rest of me I’m sure it’s just the way I was standing.
Please enter me into the wii fit part two.
I subscribed to your e-mail.
I’ve also lost 4 lb since I did that picture as well as been excersising every day, and I’m trying to eat more veggys and lean meats.
I also placed your button on my sidebar.
weight view is really inspiring – what a good idea!
count me in!!! such a great idea!
Weight view is absolutely amazing and the wii fit would be a nice, subtle motivator.
I signed up with weightview and entered your first contest. I am not sure what happened, but I never got my “after” picture, however, I was very motivated by everyone elses pictures and can just imagine myself 20 lbs less. I have lost 10 lbs already and am well on my way to a healthier lifestyle and it feels GREAT!! A Wii Fit would make it SO FUN to stay in shape!!!
I love the help with visualizing the weight loss. It can be so frustrating when you hit a plateau and seeing the picture is wonderful motivation.
This would be a fun way to lose a couple extra pounds.
I could really use it. Never in my dreams did I think I would
Please sign me up.
Thanks.
I submitted all of my info and photo, but never got one back. I’ll have to try to log back in and see what’s up. Hopefully, I’ll get one back this time. I sure would like to get motivated and see what I would look like.
I am a realtor who gained over 30 pounds. I really would like to start exercising at home and this would be the best!!
This would be wonderful for those days that I just can’t get it together to run…
well its looks like I’d got my contests screwed up but what do you want from someone who only been sleeping maybe 12 hours in the past 2 weeks or so, well WII fits great both my 12, & 13 yr old love going to my big sisters house 2 play on theres, and I’m going once a month because its not in our budget with job cut backs here!~ great contests guys,
I participated in the first round of your contest. Weight View has definitely inspired me to continue my weight loss program. So far I’ve lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks, but I have many more weeks to go and many more pounds to lose.
perfect for my diet…:-)
This is an excellent giveaway. I tried to find the Wii fit at Christmas with no luck, I think it would be so helpful for my diet to have a WiiFit!
The Wii fit would be a great addition to my Wii, it’s so hard to find.
A Wii fit would be fun.
looks like something that I could benefit from. Thank you.
I have been wanting to try this, I have heard great things about loosing weight and having fun.
I want a Wii fit so so bad !!
I have always wanted a Wii!
Ive wanted one of these for the longest…Just sooo expensive!! I hope i win and good luck to everyone
My friend loves hers and I would love one too!
