I have the wii, but the not wii fit plus; I enjoy using it because I am disabled and could never go and actually play tennis, bowling, baseball or do boxing. Let us know how the wii fit plus works because I was thinking of getting it.

Good luck with the weight loss.

I have the Wii fit plus too, which is great as i'm disabled at the mo as well due to surgery on the hip, although there are things i still can't do as i'm on 2 crutches so can't do the yoga, but i think it's great as a tool to lose weight. xx

If you have the Wii Fit, definitely upgrade to the Plus. You get the same workouts and you get a bunch of new ones, too. Plus, you have the option to set up routines or do some routines that are already made. This makes the transition between exercises a lot easier. I liked my Wii Fit, but got frustrated that my heart rate would go down so much while I fumbled through the menus and tried to pick the next thing I wanted to do. Now, I just select what part I want to work on (hips, stomach, etc.) and it plays exercises out for me one right after other.

I have the wii fit plus and i use it to compliment the days that i can't make the gym. I am not sure how it will work for weight loss but i am sure that it helps to tome you up and keep you fitter than you would be if you did nothing. Don't give up on it and keep us posted let us know how it goes.

I just got it yesterday and was so busy that I really didn't have time to mess with it. I have been on it a lot today and I love it! I think I have actually over done it! DH and I take turns and have decided that we both will probably be sore tomorrow! But we love it! I agree, I don't know what it will do for weight loss but I have definitely burnt some calories and I am using muscles I don't normally use on a day to day basis! Definitely lovin' the Wii fit!

I had the Wii Fit since last Christmas and upgraded to Wii Fit Plus this Christmas. Love it! Love the new games. After you do the step aerobics a bunch of times, "Free Step" opens. You can choose a time frame: 10 mins, 20 mins, 30 mins. I just bought the step accessory that raises the balance board to the height of a regular step for step aerobics. Wow! It was great! I did 30 minutes, and on "Free Step" or "Free Run", you can change the channel and watch tv while doing it.

The other nice thing about Wii Fit Plus, you can swap players without going all the way back out to the main menu.

We got the plus too but right after I hurt my ankle and have not got back on it....been running on my Bowflex treadclimber as of just this week and trying again to lose....going to have to get it out again and try it out.

I love my wii fit, (i have Wii Fit plus), I find it great as I don't enjoy exercising with others. Often i'll just do a free step for 20 minutes if I don't want to think too much.

I used my in combination with other things, but found it great for fitness (and fun).

Well, i'm a dedicated gym rat and so i'm there 6 days a week, but the wife hasn;t seen the inside of her gym for about a year :( . So her and her mom finally got the WII so that she could do that @ home since i can't get her to go to the gym. She used it maybe a handful of times for 5-10 minutes here and there, but unfortunately would still rather be in her recliner with her laptop playing those BS games on FB !!

Like any other home exercise equipment, unless it's in you to WANT to do it...it's gonna collect dust or become a clothes hanger too :(

Great job tho all of you for whom it's working well :)

I even use the balance board via sitting on a chair behind it, (due to broken bones in the pelvis and femur!) so this way i can still work the tendons and muscles without actually standing up, the slightest movement really works the muscles for me seen as they were cut in two. You have to make the board super sensitive. I went on Wiihabilition as adviced by my physiotherapist so even if your housebound, in a wheelchair or any other reason you can still exercise on the wii, and it's heaps of fun.

But like the above post says, only if you use it!!

The wii fit plus is always sold out whenever my girlfriend and I try to find it so we bought and alternative called EA Active. This is balance board compatable but just doesn't have all the games like wii fit. It comes with a resistance band and a leg strap. 30 day challenge is helpful if you stick to it and it does help with the little trainer guy barking orders.

I have the wii fit and wii fit plus and love them. Wii fit plus is way better i love the locker room and the routines. NOw only if i did it more often or kept up with it, but thats another storie. Good luck with your weight loss

We got it when it first came out and recently upgraded to the wii fit plus but I have yet to put it in. I got burnt out on the same routines from the first one and never saw substantial weight loss from it so it kind of got abandoned. I vowed to start the new one this week though so we shall see how that turns out. We also have ea active which I love! The resistance bands really help with building upper arm strength which I need.

I have the Wiifit and its great for keeping track of your weight and toning exercises although I ended up getting and exercise bike for a more intensive calroy burn

Well, at least the injuries from it seem to be real. Like Wii-knee. (Say that out loud.)
