Hey guys,
Well this is my first post here as a member but I come here often to read game reviews.
I just thought I would say that I have purchased Wiifit and am documenting my progress on a blog to see if I really can get fit with Wiifit!
Here is a link to my blog if anyone is interested.

thewhitewayproject.blogspot.com/

before I get my hopes up too much, I was wondering if many other people have put this to the test as a primary fitness tool and what the general outcome is?
either way I plan to use it to get fit as I never have enough time to go to the gym.
Wish me luck and I hope as many of you watch my progress as possible! If theres people watching then I'll have a lot more motivation

Hey Eddy,

Love the idea of starting a blog to keep you on track. Ive been doing WiiFit for a few weeks now and with the right foods for my body type, the weight is falling off
I dont have to lose too much, I really just want to tone up and whatnot as Im a chief bridesmaid for my girlfriend in Feb and need to fit into a TINY ( ) dress.

If you need a Wii fit "buddy" lemme know - I find it really hard to get motivated (Im a stay at home mum to a 9month old girl ).

I thought the same actually when I was putting it up, but I was too lazy to find a hunky one. And really, I couldn't care.

Yes, my main goal is to lose weight more so than to bulk up

Naamit: Yeah, I think the blog is a good idea to be writing my progress down and just having some physical evidence that I am making progress and losing weight! (Although, the physical evidence of actually losing weight might also suffice...)
Im not sure If I should look at significantly alter my diet though... then weight loss might morely be dieting than wiifit and I am kind of interested in the results of wiifit on its own!
I like it how both out prime motivations are fitting into smaller clothes! Id love a wiifit buddy

Haha if only wiifit could get us that buff!!

This is Hamzies before and after.

Listen to his testimonial:

"I saw results on the WiiFit within a few days. All I did was 300 minutes a day, and I got an awesome bawdy and a Tan as well, even though I didn't go outside for 5 months. =D

When Wii Fit first came out I tried using the Wii Fit package to attempt to burns some fat. My goal was to reduce my overall body fat percentage, I wasn't over weight I just wanted to "rip up". I used the testing equipment available at my gym to measure my self every week. I was doing a combination of weight training and Wii Fit, after a month the results were very minimal so I didn't bother continuing with the Wii Fit aspect of my training. That's not saying Wii Fit doesn't work, I think it didn't work for me because it wasn't intense enough or/and it doesn't work well when combined with heavy weight training.
Keep us up to date on your progress with this Eddy I'm always interested to see how Wii Fit works for others.

I used to be a bit of a 'shirt-ripper' like Guyver but a few years ago I decided that I wanted to change my body completely. This meant de-bulking, as anyone that has tried this will know, it's not easy to do without turning into a pork-chop.

I undertook drastic dietary changes and a strict and intensive workout regime (I did a lot of running!) Anyway, over the last couple of years I've shed about 40kg and feel much healthier for it.

I've used Wii fit ever since day one as a monitoring tool for my BMI and to measure my balance/centre of gravity. In that respect it has worked a treat! As an added bonus some of the mini-games are great fun to play!

teehee, Guyver, MugaHay & myself are all grumpy old men

There were some other interesting stories in the Wii Fit general discussion thread but the people posting there seem to have stopped providing updates.

Keep those updates coming!
