I have a friend that does Wii fit in combination with Weight Watchers and walking, and she's lost over 30 lbs since December.
Hope that helps!!!!

Re: WII FIT owners !!!
Its very low impact so I don't think you can lose weight from doing that alone. Maybe if you do it for a long time, every day. I like how it tracks your progress and goal though. I got it with the intention I would use it all the time and lose weight but that didn't happen. It's fun but just don't always have the time to do it. HTH

Get the Wii and the Wii Fit!! The Wii Fit is so much fun! I think using it with a combination of other things will help you out. Also, there are strength training exercises that have really strengthened my core.. it may not have helped me lose massive amounts of weight on its own but I have a better sense of balance and feel stronger. It tracks your weight, which can be annoying sometimes, but I think it's GREAT. Plus, when you buy the Wii you get the Wii Sports for free.. I think that is so much fun and active, especially playing tennis!

Re: WII FIT owners !!!
I love the Wii Fit for days that I can't be active in other ways.
But I must agree with Barb when she says the key to weight loss is eat less, move more. That's the only way. You won't lose weight just on exercise alone if you're not changing eating habits.

Re: WII FIT owners !!!
we have the wii fit and thought we would use it all the time but we dont. like someone else said, its low impact. you might get a lil sticky while doing it, but not sweaty. i dont think its gonna compare to doing time on a treadmill or eliptical. sure its better than doing nothing because you are moving and stuff but i dont think it will give you teh results you want, even with the combo of other things.

we have it but it kind of loses its appeal over time. i have to agree with what the others said about it being low impact. the workouts can be fun but unless you do other major exercise and dieting i do not think you will see any drastic results. i only use it on occassion now because i like to see the chart that marks my progress but you can do that with a pen and paper if you really wanted to. hth!

couldn't agree more. WIi Fit is fun. But you wont lose anything- youre better off with a gym membership. The Wii fit doesnt feel anything like a workout.
BUT with the game you get with it, it is more fun than effective.
I would suggest the Wii Fitness Coach game, you don't use the board but it's similar to doing a workout video...I find it effective

Re: WII FIT owners !!!
if you use the regular wii fit game they give then no really won't be effect. BUT they have other games out there for the Wii fit that are great, well theyre not games. Jillian Michaels has a wii fit and its like bootcamp, and gives nutritional tips too. If you do 45 mins to an hour or even 30 mins of her bootcamp it will help. She makes you run for 2 mins, then an obstacle for 2 mins for example rowing, then run another 2 mins, then grenade throwing, then run for 2 mins, then pump car or forgot what its called and then run again and you get the point. She has about 15 obstacles or something like that. You can pick the amount of time you want to do it for.
Theres also golds gym too and other workout games.

Re: WII FIT owners !!!
I finally hooked up the Wii Fit. It is hysterical!! The days I seem to do it are when FH is on the computer/phone in the office which is where the treadmill is. I'll hop on that for some balance exercises. That's the only part I've done so far. I'm guessing that the lose weight mentality won't really work here. It is a great way to track for yourself though. No, I'm not quitting WW.

Re: WII FIT owners !!!
Sorry to crash....
DH bought us Wii fit in September and honestly the game that comes with it gets boring after a while.
I recently bought Gold's Gym Cardio Workout. It is really great! It's not boring at all...there are so many different workouts you can do. It works just like Wii fit...the more you use it the more things you unlock. It even gives you 'gold' that you can use to buy clothes for your Avatar. So cute!
You can even choose your own workout music.
My only suggestion is that you buy (if you already don't have it) another controller. You can use the connection device that Wii Fit comes with but when you do a bunch of punch combinations the connecting cord wacks you right in the face or arms! OUCH!
