Hi, we bought a Wii Fit for Christmas and it was absolutely great. But the truth is I haven't used it since late January. Just lost the motivation for it. But if you do it daily and commit to it, you could absolutely lose weight!! The excersises are not fun and games - they are the real deal and you will break a sweat and get a workout if you do them right and do them regularly.

We have one and I love it, I have lost some weight then got sick and haven't got my rear in gear to get back on it daily. (DS6 seems to bring home every cold that runs in the school and I always get it)

I do honestly believe that the Wii Fit will work on getting fit and loosing weight however it is like any other exercise routine you need to stick to it.

Thanks Tee,

If you need a Wii Fit Motivation Buddy, I'm here!

I just started and I'm really surprised at how "real" it is. I'm actually a little sore! Those balance games, forget it, but I do like the yoga and strength training. Hopefully I'll see some results soon.

Thanks for responding!

Thanks Tamara,

You are so right...it's the sticking with it that makes the real difference. I just started so I've been doing a little bit every day. When the new-ness wears off, that's where the real work will come in. I do like the exercises and the ability to track my progress. I just want my mii to lose that little tire around her waist...is that what I look like?!?

Thanks for responding!

Wii is one of the "BEST" inventions ever! My kids still go outside, and it's nice to have them still want to be active even after dark. We have sooooo much fun as a family, especially bowling. We were so sore for a few day's after we got ours we had to take a break. Wii has brought alot of laughter in our home! The Wii Fit is my next purchase. We just got Wii hooked up to internet today so we can play others.
Enoy, Enjoy!

I hope there are a few pounds gone for my next weigh in. The Yoga still makes me sore and that's really funny. I would have never believed that a game was as good as the real thing!

The yoga is a good workout. I haven't done the strength yet. The balance is just for fun, but if you do the yoga, you'll lose. I'm sure if you add the strength in too that will help.

Genell,

I wish my little ones were old enough to play...I look forward to it!

I hope this game brings my family as much fun as it has yours. Let me know what you think of the Wii Fit. We just got online last night...who knows, we may play each other soon. I have to get my bowling game together first!

I have heard about this. I was wondering if it worked or was it just a marketing strategy to get more people to buy the Wii. If it works then I will consider buying one. I know that my daughter will love to have the Wii in the house.
