Wii Fit

My son got one for Christmas and I have been using it everyday since he got it. He didn't actually get it until this past Tuesday, but today is my 4th day. I haven't seen any lose in weight yet, which, I am only 6 lbs from the max that you can be on it. My weight is 324 on it. :-( But I can feel that my muscles have been working and I do burn calories cause I sweat. Has anyone else used the Wii fit? I totally recommend it to everyone.

I don't have a wii, but my daughter has one. She doesn't have the wii fit for it. However, someone I know in another group here got one recently and loves it!

I can't afford to get one, so I have to exercise the old fashioned way for now. I can't walk the courtyard like I had started, so, I'm going to start stair climbing in my apt bldg. I also am taking Karate. Now, there's a workout!!! Everyone has commented about how they can see that I've been losing weight. But, the scales and my clothes don't show it yet. So, I figure that 1. I'm building muscle as I burn fat and 2. Things are shifting around. Soon I should see a difference on the scales at the dr's office and my clothes should start to get big on me.

I just got my Karate uniform and it just barely fits. I can get into it and work out in it. My instructor feels that I should keep it and wear it and soon I'll fit into it better. I'm determined that one day it will be to big and will need a new one!!!

I do hope one day to get a wii and also the wii fit!

I've heard good things about the wii fit but unfortunately I exceed the weight limit. Once I get down below 300 I think I will reward myself with a wii fit. Yes, I think that would be a good reward. For now it's the treadmill 30 minutes a day for me.

JavaFirst, I think that the weight limit is 330lbs. I'm 324 so I just barely make it. I also just read on another forum that you can do a trial mode where you can play the games without a profile but you are still getting the advantages of the games, you just can't save your progress. The board itself actually supports up to 600 lbs, the program is what only goes to 330 lbs. I'm really loving it and would suggest it to everyone.

Right now I'm above that weight limit but like I said when I get to 300 I think I'll buy myself one. I've heard lots of good things about it. Care to share some of the good things about it you like?

I have been doing the hula hoop games and the step games and even the yoga and the strength training. I am feeling muscles that I haven't felt in years. My abs are getting stronger and so are my legs, the only thing it really doesn't work much is your arms, except in the strength training area, but you can get hand weights and use those when you are doing the step game. There is also jogging and you don't do that on the board, you put the remote in a pocket or just hold it and run in place. It's really amazing how much it really works you out.
