[quote="WiiMarie"]Hi I did put it on hold but lost my sense of where I was by the time I got off the phone so messed it up and missed a ball."

That's happened to me too...

"I've lost 11lb since then and am at the lowest I've been for years. Still have about another 24 to go but I finally feel like I can do it."

That's great! Good for you! Glad that you found this forum too, the gang here are all very supportive.

FINALLY I have done it. OK so 25 mins is nothing compared to what I have been readin on here but I am so pleased with myself. I really didn't think it was possible and reading these posts inspired me. Not only that but I managed to get a new bike this afternoon too. Now to get the time down...

Great job Wiimarie. Speed will come now with practise.

Hi, this is the first ever forum I've joined, so yay.
I got my new bike today and had an idea (thus why I joined) has anyone gotten all the balls with the new bike gotten a dog and gone to one of the possibly secret possibly just a door doors?
Next; you know the rock near the castle, the big one that if you peddle hard enough you can go up on top? Well from the top of it you can clearly see the three tiny islands don’t they look like stepping stones, I’ve been trying to strategically fall onto the closets one all day but it’s not really working, any ideas?

FINALLY! I was able to beat my time today on the free ride bike, plus go farther than ever by 1/10 of a mile. Time Posted for all 20 Balls: 20:40.10 and 11.19 miles. AND, this is the best part, I have lost another 3.3 pounds. My fit age was like 21, wish I really felt that, haha! God I love this game.

Hi Sanna, we have tried everything trying to break open those doors. Maybe by next fall when things get busy indoors again there will be a new WiiFit Plus Plus with more intrigue and maybe even success!

Congrats on the weight loss, Maimiolivia, and the progress.

Thank you for the encouragement I feel I have kindred spirits here in this forum. At least if I am crazy, then there are a lot of other people who think this is normal behavior to frantically chase down blue striped balls on a video game and try, within and inch of our lives, to better our time. I broke the barrier again and am down to 20:03.30. It will be a while before I can do it faster. I think I will have to break down and see what others are using for a route as a person cannot possibly go faster on the one I use. Nearly at the 12 mile mark as I continue to speed counter clockwise until my 30 min runs out. Oh, what a world!

Yes. I recommend the route Didi started and jvv and I also use. It saves a lot of hill climbing and I don't see how there could be a better one. I think it has been outlined 2 or 3 times on the 26.5 thread.

Our computer monitor is dead so my guys have hooked the computer up to our main TV where the Wii sits waiting. It's one thing after another, but I do love my cycling and will conquer.

Once I finish finding all the beach balls I go back towards to top of the mountain as fast as I can. My fastest time is 23 mins and a few seconds, without any jumping off things cheats (mainly because I just can't seem to find the right places to jump with any kind of regularity). My best ever end point is back up at the castle. I always start at the top onf the mountain and end on the beach. I'm sure there are quicker routes but at the moment I don't have time to work them out. Maybe when I have a wek off work at the end of April I will look at it again. I have been seeing reports of an actual exercise bike you can buy to do the cycling on. I'm not sure if it is available in the UK yet but I bet that would be even better than running on the spot. If anyone has one I'd be interested in hearing about it.

Hi. I'm a late starter with Wii Fit Plus, and yesterday managed to get all 20 beach balls for the first time (in 24:36:00, 15.389km).
So I've a long way to go to catch up with you guys. But where are you all? No posts since March 2010!

My next tasks are to find out how to get the pets to help me, how to get a new bike (what's the benefit of a new bike?), and how to land reliably on the roof tops (only succeeded once so far, but then fell off ).
