Ours was waiting for us when we got home yesterday. I'd ordered it as a late 'add on' to Tom't birthday present. We're trying it out tonight, well Tom can try it out and if he doesn't look too bad, I might try it out;)

[natalielongstaff]

Time will tell :)

[CustardTart]

DS's getting one for his birthday at the end of May so we'll have to see how much use it gets... :rolleyes1

[tashasmum]

Dh has just picked mine up in his lunch time so will have to wait a while longer to see what it's like.

[SammieG]

i dont need it to tell me im fat! I know i am! lol can you bypass that bit!?

[The Fetherstons]

I have just got mine today in town. Will try it out tonight, looking forward too it. :thumbsup2 :cool1: :scared1:

[Cyrano]

DP is setting it up as we speak. Went into town to collect it this morning :)

[astrodrummergirl]

Hmmm, I want to try it.... but actually have to save up for the Wii to start with.

[Netty]

Sounds like the start of as new group being formed on here
The Dis Wii fit club!!!

Don't you try it Hun !! its really hard work

[tashasmum]

Just spent the last 20mins on wii fit and it tells me that i am overweight with a bmi of 26.33. The jogging is definitely one to be left until last.
All that time spent dieting and still overweight but at goal with ww.

isn't 25 normal ? so you are only just over :hug:

[BRobson]

A game that tells you that you are old,fat and unfit - what a great concept :lmao:

[Pinky166]

Mine arrived today :woohoo: but I am going to have to wait until tomorrow to try it!

Sounds like your having fun Nat!

[natalielongstaff]

im just going to do some yoga :cool1:

[Snowy-girls]

im just going to do some yoga :cool1:

Is that before,during or after the alcohol:lmao: .x.

[DisneyJo]

I'd love to know what you think in a week or 2, the Wi might be for the girls but it doesn't mean I can't play on it too :lmao:

[tashasmum]

isn't 25 normal ? so you are only just over :hug:

Not according to this, 22 is normal. It's not the bmi that bothers me it was the fact that it said i was overweight when i have just got to goal.:rotfl2:

[jns]

Nat how is the yoga

[Mrs Hobbes]

I can't wait for mine to get here. We ordered it from Amazon and it was dispatched yesterday so we are hoping that it will arrive on Monday.

[tennisfan]

A game that tells you that you are old,fat and unfit - what a great concept :lmao:

Great for people with low self esteem:rotfl:

Anyway BMI is really a great indicator of body weight as it doesn't take into consideration of body fat percentage. Muscle weighs more then fat, so you could be muscular but have a high BMI.

It does sound like a fun game, I will have to wait & see if my cousin or sister can afford it as they are the ones with the Wii's:thumbsup2

[Cyrano]

A game that tells you that you are old,fat and unfit - what a great concept :lmao:

Ours said I had a Wii age of 35 :woohoo: :woohoo:

I did a lap of honour round the houses and heard someone saying the oldies are out again :lmao: :lmao:

[tink,too]

I'm hoping to buy one tomorrow - if all the stores haven't sold out already! :rolleyes: I'm glad that my DH is working away from home at the moment - the less folk that see me make a fool of myself the better! :lmao:

[Twilight Terror]

We sold out by 1pm this afternoon, and we had 8 in stock too! Anyway, I got mine this morning, but it's still in it's box downstairs *** I've been at work all day and evening. Will be tomorrow too, so will have to wait to give it a try until Sunday! :cool1:

[angel659]

Cant wait to hear all about the updates. I havent bought one yet, but if its really that good then I am so tempted to get one. It looks really good.

[Pinky166]

I got to use mine the first time this morning. :woohoo:

It was great fun (apart from telling me I'm old and fat - nothing the mirror doesn't tell me everyday anyway! :eek: )

I tried the aerobics, yoga and balance sections. It is really good at the end of each exercise it doesn't just well done and give you a score, it tells you were you can improve, ie you need to work on your balance in your right leg etc.

The more exercises you do the more you unlock and it looks like there are loads more to unlock.

[Tartan Tigger]

I got one today and it is brilliant. My age was only 7 years more than it should be and my BMI is ideal. I was brilliant at the hula hoop and the step. Jogging was hilarious, spent most of going backwards in the room. I was hopeless at the yoga, fell off the board twice. I was good at the breathing exercise which I thought was good and a relief.

LOL....I agree, I was hopeless at the yoga aswell. :rotfl2:

[Twilight Terror]

There is a really good article on MSN about the Wii Fit. I've just been reading it, it's like a 7-day diary including Wii Fit ages and more importantly this guy's heart rates for different activities. Who would have thought that playing a computer game could be so energetic?! Anyway, the link (hope this is okay to post!) is here:

http://style.uk.msn.com/getfit/sportandexercise/article.aspx?cp-documentid=8162436

[rpbert1]

I got one this evening, and it appears to be very good, although cannot get near it for DW and DD, Dw was good at the Hula Hoop, very little else:laughing: whild DD was getting good scores on the yoga ,will get on it tomorrow ,i hope.

[Twilight Terror]

Well, I've just had a play with my little Wii Fit and I love it. Not so good at the yoga/muscles sections, but loving the balance games and stuff. Step Board is my favourite game. And with a BMI of 21.56 and a Wii Fit age of 28, I don't have too much to worry about. However, if the age calculation is anything like Wii Play/Wii Sports, it's guaranteed that I'll have an Fit age of 75 by the time the weekend is over! :rotfl: Happy Wii-ing everyone! :goodvibes

[natalielongstaff]

I love the step board....i used to go to step classes years ago and its all coming back to me :thumbsup2

[wicket2005]

I love it. I could have kissed it when it said I was my ideal bmi. The hubbie wasn't as fortunate, promptly added more fat to his little mii character.

Anyway, anything that makes exercise a fun thing to do is an excellent way to encourage people to partake in it. I am just going through it chronologically, the only one I struggle with is the press ups (at the moment).:)

OMG i haven't got to that bit yet!

[natalielongstaff]

PRESS UP'S! :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

OMG i haven't got to that bit yet!

:rotfl2: im not going too....i don't care how much fun its supposed to be im not doing bloomin press-ups !

[Twilight Terror]

Yeah, those press-ups were killer! I went through everything last night, well this morning, apart from the new games I had unlocked. I'm leaving those for another day. But that press up one was definitely a no-no!

[The Fetherstons]

Im going on again this afternoon, I like the hula hoop, DS loves the jogging and ski jump:thumbsup2

[Cyrano]

I love the step board....i used to go to step classes years ago and its all coming back to me :thumbsup2

I found this so hard... obviously no dance genes :rotfl:

[Beth__WDW23/6/02]

Ohh I am going to nag DP I might have to get one:lmao:

[Funniebunny]

I got mine on Friday and spent 30 mins on it and have done another 40 mins today. My BMI was in the ideal range but I've set a goal to get it down to 22. I love the Yoga moves and the hula hoop. Will continue using it every night and see how I get on

[tashasmum]

Been doing a bit every day, when i can get dd off it. My favourites at the moment are the step and the rhythm boxing. This afternoon i did the Island run and it nearly killed me. 13mins in total to jog around the island. Can definitely feel pain in my calfs.

[~Fisharefriends~]

i really want one but dont even have a wii yet!!! better get saving.

[Tartan Tigger]

I was doing the running tonight and it told me to slow down before I injured myself, lol. Getting the hang of the tight rope now and have unlocked super advanced tight rope but the wind keeps knocking me off.

[nobodies36]

Got ours today and loving it. I love hula hoop (playing and watching someone else play) and ski jump.

I like how other registered (to Wii Fit) Miis also appear in the game.

[Chilly]

I've asked my Dad to get me one for my birthday. It sounds like everyone is having fun with it.

[wicket2005]

I know someone said on this thread they had reached their ideal weight but the wii was telling them they were still overweight. Remember it is only approximating your weight because you should have clothes on so can only be roughly compared unless you stand naked like you do on the bathroom scales. Anyway I hope you know what I mean.

My weight has been going up on the wii fit but on the normal scales it is static, just down to the clothes I am wearing. I hope.:rotfl:

[natalielongstaff]

my weight is unchanged but my wii fit age has come down to 40 ;)

That was me. I am not taking any notice of the weight as i know with keep going to WW i am still at goal. Thought it was quite funny really. The morning after i was 6lb lighter and then when i went on early evening it was asking me if i knew why i had gained 4lb.:rotfl:
My wii fit age has come down to 36 now, not bad seeing i am 42. I do go to the gym though 3 times a week.
All the family are having great fun using it.:thumbsup2

[wicket2005]

I know it is such fun and makes using it such a laugh, especially when all the family join in. But can you now feel muscles that you didn't know were there? I did the lunges and now coming down stairs I can feel it!

[tashasmum]

Definitely found some muscles that haven't been used in a while. My calves and my waist are the areas were i can feel it most. No pain no gain!

[wicket2005]

Have you tried doing the yoga tree yet? I am more like a palm tree in Orlando being hit by Hurricane Katrina! The hubbie is okay because he is tall enough to press his fingers on the ceiling!

[tashasmum]

Not tried that one but will do. Not too keen on the yoga so haven't done much on that. Yesterday i unlocked the Island run, so thought i would try it last night before i came off and it was 13 mins long.:eek: Had to sit down with a cup of tea to recuperate.Do you think the timings are accurate?

[wicket2005]

Don't know about the timings. I would imagine the run just takes as long as you do to run it.:)

I made the mistake of holding the remote for a couple of runs, slowly goes it. If you do the recommended thing and pop it in your pocket you appear to run a lot faster (I wasn't moving my arms around that much so the movement wasn't being picked up as much).

I told my hubbie about it this morning and he found the run tons easier.

Thanks for that bit of info. Always run with it in my hand and only get 58% fat burn but Dh had it in his pocket and got 94%. Will try that tonight.:thumbsup2

Just tried the Tree. One word, rubbish!:rotfl2:

[Mrs Hobbes]

Our wii fit came today! Apparently I am fat and 44 when really I am only 33, it got the fat bit right :rotfl:

We've had quite a bit of fun with it. My strengths seem to lie in the downhill skiing, I got to the bottom of the hill with no misses in 34 seconds and I was pretty good at the hula hooping too but it nearly killed me :eek:

[Danauk]

OK, anyone else not amused that their Mii's are now fat!!
I tried the tree thing, and yeah, I looked like one swaying in a force 10 gale!! I'm loving the step thing though, although the harder level had be perplexed the 1st time I did it!!

[The Fetherstons]

Wii (r) having a great time with ours, what a good laugh we are having with it:rotfl: I have lost 1lb since friday:cool1: My fitness age was 30 yesterday:thumbsup2 and im 34 :lmao: On Friday I was 51:confused3 Happy wii-ing everyone:banana: :banana: :banana:

[jns]

I need to get one of these
sounds like everyone is having great fun

[TinkTatoo]

OK, anyone else not amused that their Mii's are now fat!!....

LOL DD laughed at my "new" restyled Mii

Apart from being obese (which I didn't need the Wii to know) I had a Wii fit age of 40 (5 years younger than I am) and DH had a Wii fit age of 57 which is 5 years older :rotfl:

We managed quite a few of them last night and it's a great laugh.

[natalielongstaff]

ive not tried the yoga yet....my sense of balance is rubbish apparently :rotfl2:

[Minniespal]

Mine too Nat as I was rubbish at the step. I really like the boxercise tho, that's my favourite so far.

[Strommie]

My mum is desperate to have a Wii Fit (she doesn't even have a Wii) because all her friends are talking about it. She is going out this weekend to buy a Wii then she can have a go....peer pressure still goes on, even in your 60's :rotfl:

thats so funny...bless her :)

[Chilly]

I've begged my Dad to buy me my birthday present of a Wii Fit early (my birthdays not for 8 months).

[Queenie]

I'm hoping Amazon get some in stock soon as I have a load of vouchers I want to use to buy one now I've read some good reviews. Everywhere around here seems to be sold out.

[Twilight Terror]

ive not tried the yoga yet....my sense of balance is rubbish apparently :rotfl2:

Same here! Everything else I seem to be able to achieve 3 stars, and sometimes even 4 stars. Give me a balance one and I'm lucky to get 1 star! And here's me with a new Wii age of 22!!!! :rotfl:

[Funniebunny]

I'm the opposite, I can get 3 or 4 stars on Yoga and Muscle work out but only 1 or 2 on the other two sections. Sadly didn't get chance to use it tonight so need to work extra hard tomorrow

[Pooh&friend]

I'd like to know if its worth the money.

It sure is, I am having so much fun with it, but the best is watching hubby do the step class, It's so funny. No need to spend money on the gym, you can get a really good work out on it.:cool1:

[CrazyChris007]

I might get this don't know if i would lose anything though..
want to get Mario kart first though for my birthday :)

I thought the same thing kind of when trying to figure out what Wii bundle to go for since I'm saving for one, and realised Mario Kart and Wii Fit were pretty much the reasons I want one! So, I'm going to buy both!

Also, welcome to the boards!

[Chilly]

My Dad is still on the hunt for one for me, everywhere seems to have sold out.

Mario Kart is currently the most played in our household.
I'm on instructions to get the wireless setup this weekend so that they can race others on-line :)

[CrazyChris007]

haha that sounds great Cyrano :) we were trying to set up our wireless only we've got problems setting it up lol

we set ours up, and now dh spends all his time playing fifa 08 on line, well about as much time as i spend on here:thumbsup2
we just got our wii fit, so i would like to join the fit club, i love ski jump, and hula hooping.
my dh really can not hula hoop, any men out there that can???
tracy

That sounds like my house Tracy.....I spend all my time on the DIS and DH spends all his time playing Call of Duty 4 live (he's playing it now!) :laughing:

We also have the wii fit - I love the hula hoops & step aerobics...and in answer to your question my DH can do the hula but not the step aerobics...he falls off the board! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[natalielongstaff]

my dh is addicted to the downhill skiing....he does look funny :rotfl2:

[wicket2005]

My hubbie can hula hoop left but not right on the super hula hoop challenge or whatever its called. Whereas I am the opposite way round. The two sons (19 and 17) can hula hoop very quickly and have all the top scores so I very rarely hit the score board.

[Princess x 2]

Having great fun with ours! I ache though,lol:lmao: Even my 3 year old loves the hula hoop!!
