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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
