Got mine for £69 from GAME at Bluewater last weekend. It looks fun, although I'm pretty useless ("balance exercises aren't your cup of tea" etc...). Hope to improve with time. It may be that I'll revert to the WII sports - tennis and the training exercises are my favourite bits.

I'm rubbish at the balance tests but it just keeps on giving them to me. At least its stopped giving me the 20 steps one. That was driving me mad!!!

Well I'm still Wii'ing on a nearly daily basis and still loving it. My balance and posture is definetely improving I think and its absolutely helping my weightloss and helping me firm up.

Ooooh these sound like so much fun I saw that Jillian Michaels from the Biggest Loser has brought a game out for the Wii and it looks so much fun that i'm going to buy one especially after reading this

I bought a Wii Fit a bit over a week ago! I'm finally out of the obese stage and it's starting to call me overweight Go figure that I'd be happy about something calling me overweight!

I'd be interested in connecting online too... but same here; I do not know how to do that technicall stuff since I bought my Wii at the same time as the Wii Fit - a newbie Wii player here

We got Wii right before Christmas and we have been having a blast with Wii Play. Still havenot been able to get Wii Fit yet. Everytime we have gone to the store, they have been out of Wii. I think I am going to lose a little bit of weight before I get any of Jillian's games.

I am considering the Wii "my fitness coach" or "personal Trainer" Some one I heard that that the Jillian one isn't getting very good reviews..I would love to hear someone give a review on all of them. I have been trying to find one to rent but they are always out..

Love the Wii Fit!

Jillian I do not like at all. It was hard to use at first and all that running I just dont like. Remember to look for the customize button and you can do what you want. But I still dont like it all that much.

My fitness Coach will kick your butt. Its a great work out does upper, lower, cardio or even all at once. It does different things all the time to.

New one coming out to that looks good
EA Sports Active

I also would like to get the Gold Gym one. Heard some great reviews on it

Forgot My fitness coach will use some other things you have too, but you do not need them.

It will use Hand Weights, Balance Ball, Step, HRM. These do make some of the exercises harder. But they really are not needed unless you have them already

I love wii fit! I think it will be nice to see my chubby little mii get thinner - and for the wii to stop telling me I am obese.
