Ooh I got to the end of the meditation one yesterday - didn't realise it was finite!

That was despite the kids trying to make me laugh!

My 14 year old loves the step one and he say he hopes they bring out a game that is just step aerobics.

Has anyone got the Fitness Trainer one, yet? I have preordered the Jillian Michaels one, but don't think it's out in the UK til March?

I started using the Wii Fit a week and a half ago and I love it. It really motivates me to work out. My favorites are the step aerobics, rhythm boxing, and all the yoga poses.

I got mine from Argos as its one of the only places that sell it at RRP. I pretty much just called their stock check line for 3 local stores (two near where I live and one where I work) every night for about a week. Obviously it was the one near work 10 miles away that ended up having one when I called Friday night so I get up really early and was waiting at the door when they opened at 9am on saturday morning!!

I didn't expect to lose half a stone in less than a month on it - and my weight loss is usually painfully slow cos of my PCOS - so I'd highly recommend it. I'm usually looking at working flat out to lose maybe half a lb a week - so the Wii is definitely doing some good!

I just hope the problems they have getting the stock out won't mean they're also slow at developing and getting onto the shelves other 'fit' software, as the only danger with it is getting bored of the workouts!

Haven't been on mine for nearly a week cause I had to go back to Germany for my granddads funeral. Was on it again yesterday for the first time and did 30 minutes of cardio and then 30 minutes of freestep....was knackered afterwards lol.....but still loving it....and since it's staying lighter at night I might actually go for a walk after work and then hit the WII

hi all

find it odd you guys are saying there are supply issues i got mine two weeks ago from game station for 99.00 but i got a recharger for the balance bored and some other bits too!

i am loving it so far and have clocked up 12 hours in 18 days and lost around 5lb at the moment but i know what you mean about the body test bit as i am dong one each day as suggested but get totaly paranoid if it says i have gained!

anyway i hope i stick with it as so far its the ony thing i found that has notivated me to lose weight!

There isn't an issue getting one if you get a bundle like you did but when I got mine it was really hard to just get a wii fit on it's own without paying £100.

Whenever I go home my mum has Wii Fit at home, I was doing it everyday when I started dieting because I was at home for a month and fell in love with it!

I love how it measures you and gives you your 'age', hopefully I'll be back there in a few weeks and can't wait to see the line drop in my weight chart! Hopefully it's the same as my scales here!

Unless I'm going crazy isn't there a way to play against other people via the internet with the Wii?!

If so then maybe it would be a nice idea to swap our machine codes (I don't know what they are called off the top of my head!) so we can actively help each other to lose, plus it's always so much more fun when playing with other people!

I know that when I'm at home my mother refuses to play alongside me, so company is always nice!

You have to subscribe to be online - I think you get the first month free. But my son (whos machine it is) never activated it, and I'm not sure how to do it?
