Wii fit and Balance Board Review  

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.

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! 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.

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...

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

We still haven't purchased those drums!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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.
