Trying to lose weight
I am no longer going to update this page with further Wii figures from the games. I will however conitnue to post my weight every week (scroll down a little). Although I stll exercise on the Wii it is no longer everyday. I have written an article regarding my adventures on the Wii and invite all of you to read it and comment on it:
How the Wii Fit helped me lose weight
Please feel free to scroll down below to see how far my progess has come. Thanks!
*END UPDATE*
I'm going to put myself on blast. I figure this is the best motivation for me to lose weight. So I've decided to chronicle my adventures on my Wii Fit. So here's the deal:
I will post a new blog everyday I exercise on the Wii Fit. I will post my vitals, including my COB, BMI, and weight. I will post what I did and how long a exercised among other things. Every week I will also post my Wii Fit age. Near the bottom of this blog I will post my top scores for each exercise I do.
I don't do well on diets but I will eat better. I will also post anytime I do something other than the wii that contributes to my weight loss.
I am hoping this keeps me motivated so please sign the guest book below with any words of advice or to just say hello. Thanks!

Love it! I just started exercising about 3 days ago and I've already lost 1 pound! That's an amazing feat. for just doing the Wii Fit, but with diet, I expect even more weight loss.
Posted August 07, 2008
No. It's a fad that will run it's course. It has no benefit whatsoever.

Amazingly enough, we bought Wii Fit for our 13 year old son, a bit concerned because it is not a conventional game. He needn't have worried because he loves it! Don't think twice to buy Wii Fit for your kids!
Having read your lens however, I might have a go at it myself!

I got the WiiFit for Christmas. I love it! I have used it every day since setting it up. I do the yoga and the step in the morning, and strength and either balance or aerobics in the afternoon, about an hour total each day. It has motivated my 18 year old daughter to get active! She loves to compete against me to try to beat my scores! That leads to my question...is there any way to switch players during an activity, so that I can hula hoop, then she can hula hoop, and the system will track our mii's individually? Please respond to mrice22060@yahoo.com
I feel better, have more energy, pay more attention to my posture, and with a good eating plan, I am actually losing a little weight.
Good luck to every one who is WiiFitting!

I've been thinking about getting a WiiFit, if they ever become readily available for a decent price. What did you think of the system overall? I'd love to hear a review.

I have used my Wii Fit for 3 weeks now. My weight has fluctuated up and down 4 lbs. My jeans are getting loose and I do have more energy at the end of the day.

We got our WiiFit over the weekend. After 4 days of playing with it, I've started to think "Hey, I can do this," and went looking to see if other people have had any results with it.
