I'm definitely losing weight on it. Probably a couple of kg so far but also am starting to get some muscle tone.

I bought a Wii and a Wii Fit today for my wife. I got fit buying one!!! No where had them in stock... finally found it at EB Games at full price.
We've both really enjoyed it before. I agree with that video posted earlier with the girl on the Wii Fit... It's good fun sitting down watching your girlfriend/wife/significant other!

 Not WiiFit, but when we first got our Wii at Xmas, playing the boxing game on Wii Sports ended up with both my fiancιe in fits of hysteria at how absurd we looked standing there beating up the air...
My wife has been WiiFitting though now since we got ours, gets on and at least does a 1/4 hour or so per day on average...

I bought a Wii today. Awesome. Tennis is great and I got Super Mario 3 from the store. The Wii Play game's are average. We were going to get a Wii Fit but they were out of stock everywhere. I went to five places just looking for a Wii let alone the fit.

I'm astounded Nintendo keeps advertising it SO heavily when you can't even get the thing. I asked one of the shops I went to (JB Hi Fi Chatswood) why they had their *whole* front window dedicated to Wii and Wii Fit, and half a page of their catalogue advertising the product when they apparently haven't had any stock for over a week. They couldn't answer the question.

Its really hard to use when you only weight about 40kgs!!! I basically have to jump on it :P
Personally, I think Wii sport gives you a great workout, Im just loving the tennis and all that! =)

I am officially Wii'ed!
Bought the consol package and some cute stuff today and have paid for and am picking up the wii fit tomorrow - can't believe I actually found one in Brisbane! Props to EBGames for matching the cheapest deal I could find and including all the extras.
How have you all gone with your exercises for the last month? Any difference? Hot guys/gals hitting on you all more than usual?

I got one last weekend. Not really as hard as I expected. Some of the things are but I was expecting it to be more of a challenge. I need to loose 2kg to get to my perfect BMI and I've done it every day but I don't expect much to happen unless I do some other exercise. |

Perfect BMI besides - I can tell you that if you are single, women will chat for ages with a guy with a wii fit.

I'm 40-something days into Wii Fit, and have lost about 4kg. Using Wii Fit about 5 times a week, for about 45 minutes each session. Most important from my point of view, I've stopped putting on weight, something that's been going on for about 12 months. No significant dietary changes to date (contributing to the small amount of weight lost).
Still a long way to go, but I'm pretty happy with myself for continuing this far, especially with Smash Bros and a new Xbox360 to distract me! |

Another title to watch out for is EA Fitness ( IGN: EA Fitness (EA Fit)) - apparently will use the balance board as well... |
