so, i 'did' wii fit every day last week. i guess technically i did wii fit plus for six days, since i got that on monday after i already did the regular wii fit in the morning. whatever. basically, it will sync itself to wii fit if you already have it. pretty cool. (i don't think i ever mentioned that our wii fit restarted itself somehow and we were back to zero. i TOTALLY lost any motivation at that point, although to be completely honest, i wasn't doing it much then, either.) it's been interesting. i do like the yoga moves (for the most part, although the tree pose kicks my ass. hate it.) and some of the training moves. and the balance games are mostly fun. i really like the new plus training, esp. the bike and the snowball fight. i don't like the golf bit (really weird) but that's about it.
doing the yoga every day shows me how my strength does improve (so, this week i did the tree pose every other day or so, and i am getting better at it so that's encouraging.) i'm not really expecting to lose loads of weight, but i am hoping for some toning and some motivation!
i haven't done any personalization in 'my menu', mainly because i really starting off as a beginner and i want to get some of the moves 'mastered' before making a program. i am looking forward to that, though. so far, we really like wii fit plus!

We bought a wii recently and love it. Some of the games really are a workout. Woudl you say the fit board and games are a good investment. I've been thinking about getting one for xmas maybe but want to make sure the added cost will be worthwhile.
it's kinda hard to say. it's great for me because i don't exercise these days (well, before wii fit) and if you don't want to go out or to the gym (or pool) it's good. the hula and 'jogging' are just my level for aerobics. and the balance games are fun/interesting, but i don't see this as a great workout program for shaping up and losing weight. there's supposed to be a way to record other exercise (jogging outside, or swimming for example) but i can't remember how to do it. i am walking in the mornings (if i have the energy. i need to be out of the house by 5 am to make it work) and if i were restricting calories, i would probably be loosing quite a bit of weight. but i don't know if it would be sustainable, if i could keep it up just with wii fit and walking.
wii fit is different from wii sports, you can use your whole body, i find with wii sports i mainly use my arms. (i just tried the segway game on wii fit plus and it was TIRING!!) and it's great for those days when you don't want to go outside (rain, extreme heat/cold, volcano ash, etc.) so i recommend it if you want to start working out, not if you're already in great shape. hope i made a bit of sense there....
wii fit is fun too. A great way to ease back into it :)
Yay, glad you're enjoying it! I'm going to get back into it today after 5 days off while on our trip - I'm too scared to weigh myself right away though... damage has definitely been done there ;)
