My husband and I recently purchased the wii fit game and balance board along with a skin and battery pack for a very good price... I've used it a few times, and I have to say that I really enjoy using this. My husband and I have used this once before at my sister's house. I love that you can weigh not just yourself, but you holding something as well. I think it's a pretty cool thing! lol! So do you have a wii fit, and do you enjoy using it? I think I'll get some nice exercise out of it myself.

hiya SCG hugs*
You probably remember it's my daughter that has the wii fit and not me. I was up there on Friday and we checked our weight against the last records and she had lost 4lb and I had lost 1lb (but it registered different on my own scales lol) It goes through a balance procedure but I don't know if it had that option of holding something confused my daughter flips through it so quickly I don't get time to read rolleyes but it did have the weight of clothing. I'd like to try the yoga, but I still can't do the ski jump on the sports! LOL

Alice happy

The "option" so to speak as I can't think of a better word... popped up after I weighed I believe. I think what it says is you weigh, then weigh again but this time with holding something (they gave the option for a book)... I may try to hold one of our chihuahua's to see how that works out. The ski jump I can do the first time, but the second time I seem to be too late and I trip down the hill... one time I became a snowball, lol! I like the run myself, but we don't have another remote to do a 2P run.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5358)  3 years ago

I got a pic of Madison on my phone... I think it was the yoga she was doing, but nokia browser software is on the desktop pc. She did the run with my other granddaughter...but I haen't tried it yet. I think it's hilarious when they trip up... the sound effects are brilliant! lol I hope she gets the set of four so that we can do more on the guitar hero together, she is on guitar I am on vocals and my other daughter does the drums, but we can't all go at the same time, just the 2.


myLot reputation of 98/100. SomeCowgirl (14318)   ranked 1 out of 38 in mrs. hellcowboy  3 years ago

I've heard the sound when others are tripped. My husband and I have only one remote, but I do think that the sound effects on the "tripping" are great! As for guitar hero, My husband wants to get one of those games and a set of drums to go along with it. We're not big fans of the game, but he wanted to play the drums, I'm not sure when this was, but he said that he aspired too... I think it will be interesting as I would rather play the drums as well! I can see two sets of drums for the wii in our future...


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5358)  3 years ago

You won't regret it! here is my daughter on the drums last Christmas. You and HCB will have loads of fun with them thumbup



myLot reputation of 98/100. SomeCowgirl (14318)   ranked 1 out of 38 in mrs. hellcowboy  2 years ago

We still haven't purchased those drums!

This is a good discussion Baby,and yeah we purchased the Wii Fit Balance Board and the Wii Fit game with a skin and rechargeable battery pack for the Balance Board for an awesome deal since we are buying it from a friends sister,and yeah it is a lot of fun,and it is is awesome that you can use it to weigh yourself and check your BMI and you can do different fun exercises that can help you reach you weight loss goals,and I know we used it once before at your sisters house,but it is much more fun here at home,and I know we are both looking forward to using the Balance Board again later when we can get the television,and maybe my parents would also get some fun out of the balance board,I love you with all of my heart and soul,have a great day,good luck with all of your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting.


myLot reputation of 98/100. SomeCowgirl (14318)   ranked 1 out of 38 in mrs. hellcowboy  3 years ago

I think that it is a lot of fun and I know that we want your mom to check it out but she's always busy or tired, or your dad has the t.v.... Which is why we have to wait until later, but after you get off work the t.v. should be free... So then we can play it, and maybe weigh cracker with us, lol!


myLot reputation of 96/100. hellcowboy (5009)   ranked 2 out of 38 in mrs. hellcowboy  3 years ago

Yeah I know my mom is usually busy or tired,or my dad is watching television,but when I get home from work on days I close we usually do get the television,and maybe my dad would even like the balance board even though I do not know if we could ever get him to try it lol,and it was fun weighing all the animals earlier because we saw how much they weighed without having to use the actual scale,I love you with all of my heart and soul, have a great day,good luck with all of your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting Baby.


myLot reputation of 98/100. SomeCowgirl (14318)   ranked 1 out of 38 in mrs. hellcowboy  2 years ago

Yea we've hardly been playing the wii lately, we need to get back into it though I know you've been working alot and we've been using the 360 more.

Well, we just recently purchased a WII. I have seen the WII fit, and know people who actually own it, and not sure if I will consider getting it or not. But I have heard that it does actually help people loose weight so that is a Good thing for sure. Keep us informed on how things go.


myLot reputation of 98/100. SomeCowgirl (14318)   ranked 1 out of 38 in mrs. hellcowboy  3 years ago

I really love the wii fit. You can weigh yourself, or other objects but first you have to weigh yourself. Even if you've weighed yourself before and it's only been one day, you can lose inches so weigh yourself and then weigh yourself and the objects. It's a pretty fun thing though, it even has yoga poses. It really will give you a workout. It measures your BMI, gives you a series of balance tests, and gives you balance tips. It can be a bit insulting in little ways like "do you trip when you walk?" I mean, I don't really take that as an insult, but it does sound like one to me. Um, yea, if you have any questions about it, I'll try my best to answer them.

We have a Wii Fit program, well actually my son does, he got it for his birthday but I use it probably more than he does. I really enjoy the exercises, it makes it fun and it is like playing a game. I also like how it charts your progress and keeps track of all your activity. My only problem is that I do not use it enough, only if I did I could lose alot more weight that I am currently losing.


myLot reputation of 98/100. SomeCowgirl (14318)   ranked 1 out of 38 in mrs. hellcowboy  3 years ago

Yes, I know the board recommends coming on every day and if nothing else doing the body test. It also says to use it at the same time each day, We've been using it at night since we've got it, but we got it on Thursday and today is now Monday. We didn't use it on Friday becuase we were spending the night with the friend who let us buy it off of him, his sister and mom. I'm probably going to use it this morning as the t.v. is free and I can spend more time on it. I love that you can weigh other things besides yourself!

I'm seriously considering getting one for myself to be honest with you..I've talked to a couple of friends who have them and they really seem to enjoy them AND a few say that they do get a workout using it and have lost wt too...


myLot reputation of 98/100. SomeCowgirl (14318)   ranked 1 out of 38 in mrs. hellcowboy  3 years ago

The please let me be another who has raved about this wii board and game. I think I saw an article once that stated that the wii fit or the wii sports ( I don't remember which ) were only supposed to motivate you... Well I have both wii sport and the wii fit. The wii fit, will give you a great workout, so yes you will lose weight with this! Or, if your goal isn't to lose weight, you will still have fun with it! The wii board talks to you, you get to choose between a male or female player... oh but when I say talks to you, while it does say things like "Measuring" the board itself doesn't actually vibrate beneath your feet... lol.

Have any questions? just ask away, I am discovering new things about it! Oh, and you can weigh other things besides yourself, though you have to weigh yourself first, and then the objects.


myLot reputation of 96/100. TrvlArrngr (2877)  2 years ago

I too, am seriously considering buying this. Thanks for the great thread on Wii Fit. I appreciate it


myLot reputation of 98/100. SomeCowgirl (14318)   ranked 1 out of 38 in mrs. hellcowboy  2 years ago

I am glad to help. It's a fun thing, there are many bloggers out there who blog about losing weight with it.

Yes, we have the Wii Fit Plus and balance board. I think they are great as it is so much fun, it doesn't feel like exercising, but you are still losing weight and getting fitter. I like the cycling the best, but also the yoga, obstacle course and many others. I need to get back into going on the Wii Fit 5 days a week like I was doing a couple of months ago.


myLot reputation of 98/100. SomeCowgirl (14318)   ranked 1 out of 38 in mrs. hellcowboy  2 years ago

I was on the wii like everyday for awhile until I just quit using it, laziness I guess. I had to get the wii fit out, the wii out, the balance board... too much work, lol. Especially if I had to put it back only 30 minutes later, it wasn't worth it.

Yeah, I have the wii fit Plus and I find it a lot of fun and it also does help encourage you to work out more. I also love the fact that you can weigh things with you. I have weighed my cat and it actually seems a bit accurate. I have lost a few pounds due to the excercises that they have on there.I've been using it like every day now lol. My favorite excercise on the game is running, boxing, rhythm parade and cycling for now. I have done some of the yoga and strength training. Those seem a lot of fun too.
