Doing more research into the calorie count thing. It does appear that a person can burn off too many calories when exercising. In this forum thread (haven’t found anything more scientific yet), they say you want to be no more than 500-800 calories short of what it takes to maintain – or you hit starvation mode (and your body hits your muscles not your fat for energy).
Another note from that forum thread is that we ought to give our bodies a chance to rest. (I haven’t done this. Only missed 1 day of work out since I started and keep pushing myself harder. So I’ll be going slower the rest of the day.)
I am eating enough to not be tired during the day and feeling good, but I will slow down today and perhaps Thursday (with a birthday in the family will need to focus on that). Have been sleeping like a log lately – long time since I’ve been able to sleep soundly. (Yay!)
I’m in the beginning of a Wii Fit experiment myself. Good luck with it!
Thanks for your visits and comments! It helps me to keep motivated when I know people are reading my stuff.
I hope your weight loss goals come true! 
Have a great day!
