I am still trying to figure it out. How does the machine know if you are doing all the steps correctly. It is not watching you.

Yes I do because you are getting up and moving.  My best friend was overweight at aroung 278 pounds and never worried about her weight until she heard another child ask her 7 year why his mom was fat.  Reality hit her and she heard about Wii Fit and went and bought a used console at a *bleep* shop.  She bought games like the Just Dance and the Biggest Loser game and after 3 months doing this she is now down to 253 pounds.  The weight was slow to come off, I think she said a couple pounds a week but it was coming off so she changed her diet too and that's when she noticed more than just one or two pounds coming off it was turing into 3 to 5 pounds.  Im thinking of getting one too. :thumbsup:

its depends on the game and how much fat or wieght you are in, and your age. yes it can and Playstation DDR. its a type of cardio if you got the energy you can do it.
Just a way to earn

I was thinking about getting one for myself because I've nothing but good feedback about it.  It would make my life so much easier since I have an extremely active 2yr old at home. lol :o :o

From the looks of it it seems like it does... even thought I never tried it yet. But I'm thinking of getting one because I like to exercise.

If it keeps you moving around, yes you are going to be burning some calories.

it's not a means to an end in and of itself, but every little bit of movement counts in calorie burning.  I see it as a great adjunct to other forms of exercise and change in diet.  more power to anyone trying to stay fit and healthy!

Yes. Anything that makes you move your body will burn calories. Movement means weight loss.

I don't have a wii fit, but I have heard good things about the workouts. I am going to get a workout "game" soon, possibly The Biggest Loser.
