Anyone lost weight using Wii Fit???

[disney fan 1994]

I know this is not all about Disney, but in a way it is. I'm trying to loses weight for our Disney HH trip in June. So has anyone lost weight using the Wii Fit? I started it today and had so much fun. When I was done I did 102 minutes today and it is a workout but it was not like working out but I can feel it. Just interested. Trying to also lose for our DW trip in Aug, DD turning 7

Can't say the Wii Fit is actually helping me to lose weight. I've lost a little. I have been at it for about a month, but I also walk on the treadmill everyday. I am starting to feel like the yoga and strength training are starting to make a difference.

I'm currently down 28lbs. The first 10lbs were thanks to Wii Fit... then the Christmas rush came and I got sidetracked. The next 18lbs have come off from diet alone, I completely changed the way I eat in November. If I was doing both of them, I'd probably be losing a lot quicker... thinking I'll get back on the Wii Fit after we get back from Disney (we leave in 5 days).

Both my step-daughter and SIL have, although my SIL is combining this with diet (portion control). My SIL really likes the yoga. Good luck!

I am.
Actually, I've been eating better and doing wii fit. I've lost 9 lbs since New Year's and it's been way easier than anything I've done before.
I think it's motivating me which is really helpful. I really like the option to do step and watch tv. I do that pretty much every night now.

How do you do step and watch tv at the same time? I would love to know this!!!

You have to get the last step section unlocked ... I think its called free step. Then you can set a time to step and change the channel, but you still hear the tones or music from the wii remote. It will also tell you how many steps you've done, so you can switch lead legs and gives you a warning when you're almost done.

I have been doing the wii fit too!!! And I love it!!! I have lost 13lbs since the first of the year, but I am also dieting. I am starting to like the yoga. Since I am not very flexible this is helping me. I can tell my tummy is flatter and my muscles are starting to firm up a little. I still have a looong way to go, but I am getting there.

Wow on the 102 min!!! I try to do 30 min everyday! Oh and beware you will hurt the next day!

I've heard GREAT things about the Wii Fit and how people are losing weight. We don't have a Wii and can't justify the expense, but a Wii and Wii Fit are definitely on my "Would Like..." list!

Guess I've got to do more traditional exercize (grumble grumble).....

Hay thanks for the insperation I wanted to make sure that I could lose weight by doing this so would not be wasting my time trying. So happy to hear all the wonderful stories. I have been watching what I'm eating by portion control. Also think the fit is fun. Thanks for the tip about free step I unlocked it yesterday but found it boring because you just do your own thing but to add music or change the chanel would be more fun for the 10 min workout.

Keep up the good work!!!!!

It's true. You unlock it in aerobics like a PP said.
If you press the A button once you get started you can change the beat or turn it to silent. I like the beat though.

I've been doing wii fit since my bday 9/17 & have lost 21.5 lbs. so far. I put my balanceboard on top of a normal excercise step for the step aerobics though cause I didn't feel it was a big workout on just the balance board. I love the wii fit though, it makes excercise fun!

 

[disney fan 1994]

Thats a great idea

I just got my Wii Fit three nights ago! It's been a busy few days though (with a sick toddler and being in the think of Girl Scout Cookies - selling them NOT eating them LOL) so I haven't really gotten a lot of time on it.

But I did try most of the things the night it arrived. I really liked how it made things fun and broke them down into manageable sessions for me (as someone who is just getting started).

I like having someone to be accountable to - even if it's just a talking balance board!

My goal was 5 lbs in 2 weeks - I better get going so I can make it!

Good Luck!! I was just at target and they have a game there called my fitness coach. Does anyone have this one? I was wonder how it is. I also saw that Wii is going to come out with another excercise game this year. I watched it on you tube. It looks like fun and I'm not sure but it looks like it has more exercises to it. It will include a band for your leg for the running part and it looks like it will play more than one player. I'm not sure on that.

Hi.

I have lost about 4lbs using the Wii Fit. (I hope to lose more before my April trip) I did the boxing workout in the aerobics section of the program. It was so much fun. I am so sore today. I did not think I was working that hard, but my whole upper body is feeling it. The more you use Wii Fit, the more fun it gets because you unlock new exercises. Good luck!

That is a great thought. Have to try that also. I was wishing there were more step aerobics and longer routines (other than Jillian Michaels are there any other Wii Fit games?). Sometimes I'll just do the advance step 2 or 3 times in a row and most of the time The one year old insists on me holding her while I exercise. I guess that would strengthen my arms?

I just bought the Jillian Michaels game..does anybody like it?

I've been using our WiiFit since christmas.......I've lost 8 pounds...but I also ate like a WiiFAT over the holidays.....so if I would have ate better I'm sure it would have been more.....

I have it and I don't really like it. The exercises are good but your movements barely register on the wii. I am busting my butt and she barely moves. I am not imaginging it because my dh watched me do it and my sister had the same problem with hers. I do it for fun after I do the regular wii fit.

We have got the family Trainer mat and game, and I find that more strenuous than the Wii fit activities, it's great fun too
