So I'd like to lose 10-15 lbs and DH really needs to lose at least 20 lbs--not just for looks but for health reasons too, has a family history of heart disease and diabetes. We used to have cheap memberships at the Bally's near us, less than $99/yr but the gym closed and DH was only going there once a month anyway
I've been wondering about getting a Wii ever since DS asked for an XBox and I looked it up and saw that the games looked too violent for my taste, specially for a 9 yr old. The Wii looks more family friendly and DH and I could use it for fitness too so I've been pricing it, looking at the different games and thinking that if we used the games like Gold's Gym and/or Wii Active that don't need the balance board, those games are just $15 or $ 45 on Amazon vs $100 for the Wii Fit Plus bundle.
So today I was in Costco and saw the very last new Wii bundle (in black) for $195 and just couldn't resist. Maybe having it will motivate me to put some of the stuff in my attic on eBay...
I'm not opening it yet, though, so that I can return it if enough people tell me it's not worth it...I've already found articles that say it doesnt help that much with weight loss. Any ideas would be welcome!
