Wii Fit Users?

Hi Everyone, I too am a Wii Fit user, I have been for about 1 year now, unfortunately since my diagnosis of breast cancer, I haven't touched it for about a month, just lost interest in my appearance.I am hoping the weight I gained since this all happened will finally give me a kick in the pants, that by the way,are realllllllly tight,so I can feel good about myself again.

Wii fit is great.  I find I picked and chose which things I did during chemo.  Now I do whatever feels right.  18 lbs off so far... just have to keep going.

Wii Fit Plus has everything the regular Wii Fit has, plus more.  If you are getting a Wii Fit, get the Wii Fit Plus.  I love mine.

Hi, girls - I have joined the ranks of Wii Fit users!! It had never really appealed to me until recently... I guess I thought "If I want to stand on one foot and see myself doing it, I'll just stand on one foot while looking in a mirror." LOL - but then I decided it would be good to have some kind of motivation to do strength training at home (I always get so bored lifting weights). Plus, I wanted something I can do while I recuperate from my mastectomy as well as a good alternative for those icy cold winter days.

So I bought a Wii and the EA Sports Active 2. Oh wow! I only tried it for the first time yesterday and I'm in looooove!! It's so much FUN and really keeps up your interest. I actually found myself giggling at times, it was so fun! I like that it gives you the feeling of being in a pretty outdoor setting (I much prefer exercising outdoors, but during the winter, it's not so pretty in Georgia!!). Plus, I can really feel it today (pleasantly sore muscles)! It never did get my heart rate up as much as when I'm running or doing Stairmaster, but that's okay... I got the Wii as a fun alternative exercise, not my main workout.

Those of you who use other Wii fitness-related games besides Wii Fit Plus, what are your favorites? I really love this EA Active 2 so far, and next I want to try The Biggest Loser or maybe a dance one.

Thanks for posting this.  I caught a hint that my DH and mom were thinking of chipping in for a Wii Fit for me for Christmas... now I will "mention" the Wii Fit Plus.  :-)

Oh Good! 

We bought the Wii Fit (don't know if it is the Plus or not) right before diagnosis.  So it has not even been opened yet.  So it is great to see this thread and read the postive postings.  New Year's resolution already made, now...!

I have the Wii-Fit and EA Active as well.  I enjoy both, but found my motivation to work out on a regular basis with them, by myself, just wasn't there.. So, my parents bought me 10 sessions with a personal trainer, to work out a routine that would get me going again.

 I now have a routine: Monday and Wednesday: 10 minutes treadmill, 20 reps of weight training, then 10 mins treadmill, 20 reps weights #2, 10 mins treadmill, 20 reps weights #3   Tues & Thurs: 2 30-minute sessions consisting of Wii-Fit Yoga, Balance & Aerobics. Then finish the week on Friday with a session with the Active exercises - I'm still at the beginner level with most of them.

I found the variation really helps me stay with it - here's hoping it lasts through the holidays! .  I should  lose about 80 pounds, so this is combined with a diet.  This week's weight loss was 5 pounds, and 2 inches on the waist! Wahoo!

Hi Diane, I too, have to lose about 30 lbs.just haven't found the energy yet. When I did use it, I did at least 1 hr. a day, and I felt great, I sure wish I could get back into it. Need a big push!!

Well I bought the Wii now for the fitness part. I have been checking them out on line. I have been wondering about the EA product, good to have some input on that to. Has anyone done the Just Dance video. I was thinking of that also. My biggest concern on the Wii fitness is that some think the board is to small. Any comments. Most of the people that have commented do not have one. I did not know they had yoga on it. That sounds like fun. I have not seen the walking games, where can you check it out. Thanks for all the suggestions. Tomorrow is the day. Dianne

I like yoga and the balance "game"  My PT recommended Wii Fit .   The clinic has one.

It's great

I'm in - 30 minutes of strength & yoga this morning.  I also bought the riser for the balance board and it absolutely increases the workout intensity and was well worth it.  The Walk It Out game sounds like fun - anyone else have it?

What are the best things to do on the wii fit plus game? Where to start?

Hey there Stef/Dianne!!

Agreed about the weigh-in.  I've had mine for almost 2 years, and it's nice to have a 2 year record of (almost) daily weight info. Even when I don't do anything else on the Wii that day, I always drag my butt downstairs to do the weigh-in. Now I can pull the graph out to a wide view covering a year which makes it easy to see patterns of when I've been able to lose a few pounds, and when I tend to find them again.
