I agree with the positive comments. I am not a gym goer and I do not like to exercise. However, I am a competitive person. And the wii fit plus is just what I needed to think about getting in shape. I love this and I too have lost weight and feeling much better than I ever have. I logged in today and it says day 27. I have never in my entire life committed to anything this well before. Thank you Nintendo.

Thank you so much for writing this article. I am really proud of all the work you have done and I hope that you continue to keep it up! I just got the Wii Fit and am on my 8th day. I have not seen any physical results yet but my mood has drastically improved. I can’t wait until my graph looks like yours!

Hello, interested to read all the comments here. I’ve just done my 15th consecutive day with my Wii Fit and NOTHING has changed! Nothing! My BMI is the same, my weight is the same! I really thought something would’ve happened by now; I’ve gone from doing absolutely no exercise to over an hour a day. I try to do at least half an hour of aerobic, and some of the muscle stretches and a few of the balance games too. I’m not going to give up – I’m really enjoying it and really starting to push myself to reaching harder goals. But I wondered if I’m doing anything wrong, or expecting results (something, ANYTHING!) too soon?

Hey josef, Bro, Brosef, Brofag, GTFO and go hump your basketball buddies in the gym k.

P.S.
- Why do you feel the need to comment on a wii video game console post when all you are going to do is quickly say “it doesnt work, cuz i tried something different and it didnt hurt”. Go away kid, go away.

Josef’s comment above makes no sense. He’s comparing one short session on a different game and game system and trying to put that up against Steve’s documented results.

True, Wii Fit does not compare to working out at a gym. But the game is geared toward people who are just starting to get active, or need something to supplement their workouts. On that level, Wii Fit is a terrific tool to have in one’s workout routine.

I’ve lost 7 pounds in about a month, combining Wii Fit workouts with smarter eating. My BMI is quickly approaching normal range.

I have lost 15 pounds since doing it, and I am eating better. I’m 25 and feeling good. I am half way to my goal. My question is, is it normal to fluctuate with weight loss? I wear a tummy slimmer or a sauna suit when doing it. But I want the results to come quicker.

Hi there Steve.

Im sorry to say this. But i think the Wii Fit or any other products that actually say “you will get fit” does not work.

This is coming straight from me. I went to the arcade with my buddies once, and i seen this weird video camera thing so i thought why not play that? It looks interesting. And it was the “Kinect” . I tried Triathlon – Boxing – Ping Pong. But let me tell you, i didnt even feel a thing, no pain or nothing. So by that i think it doesnt work, it does not get you fit.

Heres what i do, i go to the gym 4 times a week, go Jogging in the stadium 5 times a week, play basketball whenever i can.
Thats what makes me healthy not some sort of video game stuff.

Im sorry i just needed to say that.

Bro, if you wanna lose weight and become fit, go to the gym.

Sincerely,
Josef

Hey great post Steve you have reinforced my decision to get a wii, which I was going to get tomorrow. I was hoping it would be a great way to loose weight & hopefully get fit again like i was before I had my twins. Yes having twin 10 month old boys & a 4 year old girl does make it logistically hard for me to even think about the gym! Hope you are still tracking well with your daily workout.

Scouring the web for some grain of hope for weight loss with this game, I came across your article. My motivation has now gone sky high. Thanks!!

Thank you for a great post. I have been trying to use the Wii for working out but am not feeling it with just the Wii Sports and Wii Sports resort, need something a bit more to keep my interest and work out more then just my upper body (which isn’t the problem anyways). I appreciate your honesty and candor about the product. I think it is time for this gamer chick to go pick up a Wii fit and start feeling the love
