    Yes i have used the wii to lose weight and tone up :)
    "I am an insomniac, so I was really excited when I was able to get a full night's sleep. I said to a friend, 'Just keep your fingers crossed that I get lucky again tonight!' Realizing what I said, I tried to correct it and said, 'No, I mean, I just hope that I get some tonight!' After that, I decided to shut up."

    Have been having a look round online, and it's pretty much 50:50 out there, so thought I would ask here.

    Has anyone had any success with losing weight with the wii fit?

    All replies welcome :)

    ive lost 14lbs and i did use the wii fit, not on its own though, i used it as PART of my training, i also do exercise DVD and weights

    the boxing and step are good as is the kung fu, the hula hoop and the yoga exercises

    i would never do just the wii on its own though, unless i was severely cutting calories
  • Does anyone know if a Wii Fit 3 is coming out soon? Loving the 'Plus' but would look forward to new challenges!
    I'm getting older, and lifes getting harder!:mad:

    I've toned up really well in a few weeks, I've lost a bit of weight but not much and I am watching what I eat too, I do Yoga, Hula and Jogging which is a lot more exercise than I have ever done, the balance games are fun and dd uses it too:)

    I saw this on the xbox weeks ago and was a bit gutted it wasn't on the Wii... or so I thought until I saw the advert yesterday :jSo I bought it with some b'day money and have just had my first go :o OMG I'm done in and to make it worse I have zero co-ordination so tripped over my own feet at least 20 times!! Thankfully I didn't have the bottle to go to an actual class with real people or I would of made a total fool of myself.

    Does it get easier though? I'm not bothered about being out of breath as thats the point but it's so fast even after doing the tutorials I just can't imagine being able to control my feet EVER :o

    Ayway I'd really recommend it lol. I just need some magic shoes like Lisa had in that episode of the Simpsons when she was rubbish at dancing :rotfl:

    I fancy this too, how much was it and where did you get it from? You'll get better hun lol I was rubbish at the wii fit especially the co-ordination ones but it did improve, when I went to step class years ago I was so bad the woman said to me dont worry about the arms just concentrate on the feet:rotfl: - good luck and well done for doing something:D

  • I haven't got Zumba, but have got Just Dance 2. I can only do the arm movements. :o My feet just go from side to side. Glad it's not a class. :eek:
  • I bought Zumba about six weeks ago for the wii and have used it once !
    I found out that I have no co-ordination at all and found it really difficult to master even the basic steps !I'm sticking to the wii fit instead.

    Zumba on the Wii is hard! :eek:

    Like everything though it does get easier with practise.

    I found doing the tutorials first (where you learn the steps individually) quite helpful when it came to doing the main sessions.
