Interestingly enough the Wii Fit system uses your body weight, age, balance and some other factors to determine your "Wii Fit Age", which is supposed to give you some indication of your overall health in relation to your chronological age. While most of my family and friends are finding their Wii Fit ages to be 10-15 years older than their actual chronological ages, mine seems to be 30, which is 6 years younger than my age at the moment. Interestly enough, however, it shows my BMI in the "overweight" range and even nearing "obese" which is a bit disheartening.
Anyway, if you've not experienced the Wii Fit system, I encourage you to check it out. It's become a reason, in our house, to share some great quality time together, as a family, talking about the importance of health and also challenging each other to "hula hoop contests!"
Cycling update: I'm getting between 75 & 100 miles a week on the bike and am planning an 85 mile ride tomorrow with my 1/2 way point being the Old Country Buffet for lunch. It doesn't get much better than that, does it?

Nice work! I enjoyed browsing through your blog and found it all very helpful and encouraging. In reference to plateaus, here's an interesting tidbit of info I picked up from a local health clinic. The doctor said that people who hit a plateau in their weight loss are actually going through changes not measurable by the scale. If you put them on the BMI scale, most of the time it will indicate a shift from fat to muscle is taking place even though your weight appears unchanged. That's encouraging, yes? Have a good one!
Wish you were still posting...hope this finds you doing well.
