Given that I am loving my Wii Fit, I thought I'd Google "Wii fit + weight loss" and this article came up, and it seems it was written on 30th January 2009.
Says that people normally give up on it after a month.
Well, given that my thighs are weak, and it gives them SUCH a good workout I am going to try and stick at it. When I was on it Sunday 1st Feb for whole day, I could hardly walk on Tuesday and Wednesday. I guess it's that that makes people shirk it. It is a game but it is WORK.
Given that I had an old fashioned weighing scales with a needle (analogue I think they call them) it is very refreshing for me to have the digital weight I get from Wii Fit. Love the graph it produces too. It is superb for tracking, and even tracks BMI.
It's funny, but the games that are hardest on my thighs are also the ones I am determined to beat to get a better score, i.e. the bubble down the stream one, and the Ski Slalom... So my addictive personality is helping me get fit for once :-) They are actually my favourites, despite the aches. I also absolutely love the step game, although I can imagine it will eventually get boring.
What I am absolutely amazed by is that there is a delayed reaction between your brain wanting your balance to shift on the board, and it actually happening, but I read in Dr Robert O Young's book today that bouncing on a rebounder for 15 minutes a day helps with that. Only trouble is, although that gives you the gift, what tells people that they are lacking it in the first place, before it is too late???? Well the Wii Fit certainly does, along with the age it gives you. I have varied from 30 to 60 years of age on it .............
Given that I am guilty of playing with things for a couple of months till the novelty wears off (haven't used my Vita Mix nor my IPOD in ages) it will be interesting to see how long the wii fit lasts. Victor always tells me off for buying gadgets I don't use for long.
Anyway I am signing off now, as I have an urge to............ play with my Wii Fit :-)

Is there anybody out there?

Man I can believe that it has been almost two years since I made a post.
A lot has happened in the last two years I'm sure, but I can't really say
much...

Good for you for sticking at it - it's nice to see you so enthusiastic about your wii and you are right, I will be telling you off if you put it on the ipod and vita mix pile of unused gadgets... this is obviously ticking all the right weight loss boxes so stick at it and you will not only get fitter but also have fun doing it.
I read the same article and as someone who has been using the wii fit consistently as well, I think that all we can do is use it, enjoy it, and benefit from it and those people who stop after a month are just missing out!
Heather you are so so right. I was on it again today and love it :-)
It really does have the ability to make me out of breath.....
