Has anyone used a Wii Fit and actually gotten fit?

I like my wiifit activities but not the put downs

I don't have the wii active, although I think you've just convinced me Astro!

My only bit of advice, don't use the scales on the board. Use your own. Apparently, I weighed 1kg less before I started an hour long jog around my loungeroom. I did the run around (at midnight mind you) and checked the weight again, and it told me I'd gained a full kilo. I find the weigh-ins to be way off with my scales at home. I lost 3kgs and could feel it in my clothes, and the wii fit again said I'd gained. Great morale booster!

A question Kat!! I went and had a look at the EA Sports Active yesterday (the sales people were HOPELESS everywhere I went ) and they had the first version at one place that comes with that leg strap thingy and the big rope-type thing (can't think of what it's called right now!) and it was $34.95. At Target they had the EA Sports Active 2 which mentions something about a personal trainer and has a heartrate monitor (I think) and it's $99. Which one do you have? I don't know which one I should get!!

I have the original the big rope thingy is the resistance band. I don't have the 2nd one. The first one has like a PT too.

Oh cool! I'm happy to only have to pay $34.95 then! Thanks so much

Just thought I'd bump this as I have been using my wii fit for a couple of days now...

It gets me sweaty and hot (as opposed to hot and sweaty ) and my heart rate rises.

Anyone else use it? What is your fave activity?
