I lost weight playing Zelda WW on my Wii for the last week. !

Just couldn't stop long enough to eat big meals.

SMG & RE4 have now been opened and played so even less time for big meals.

On topic, I just don't see myself buying Wii Fit anytime soon if ever which is fine since my weight is fine for my height and age. :P

I think you lost BMI, not pounds.

But I don't think you lose muscle by using Wii Fit.

My BMI dropped since I started, and I've lost about 5 pounds. I've actually been trying to eat better in order to assist in my BMI loss. Wii Fit's not for everyone, but if you actually try to get a work out from it, you can find it beneficial. Doing 6 push-ups and then getting a Big Mac and supersized fries isn't the way to go.

I call bluff. How long did you play per day and how many days have you been using it. 10 lb's is a lot to lose.

BMI is calculated based on your height and weight.. therefore a reduction in BMI can only indicate one thing.. a reduction in weight.. since Wii Fit can no way take away inches from your height. So if he lost points in his BMI he lost weight. :)

The only way I could see anybody losing weight from wii fit is if they were VERY lazy before they got the game. So any exercise at all would cause them to lose weight. Not saying this is the TC. Just saying that's the only people I see this working for.

Grats for losing weight but honestly, did it take a video game to get you motivated enough to actually exercise? Got to do more then just move your butt, you gotta eat right too to keep it off. Good luck.

No, they probably are not, I did that to and all I had to do was stick my finger down my throat after I ate something.

I'm in good shape. I've been really focusing on the balance, especially in Yoga. I lost 4 pounds so far since it was released in the US. Lot of fun!

NOTE: The game does not call you 'fat'. It uses the BMI names, such as obese, overweight, etc. It's not hard to be obese. I was borderline obese the first week.

And that girl, if it was the same one, was a 200+ 12 or 14 year old girl I believe.

Wiifit is not about weight loss, "Fit" doesnt specifically refer to weight.

He has his own WiiFit blog, if you are interested. Kevin-V posts it in the editor's diary.

And you could have spent money on gas, spend money on a monthly membership, work your schedule around the gym, deal with potential jerks, and not have as much fun as Wii-fit, and not have a cool bunch of mini games to play with the board, and not be able to buy other cool games like we-ski and enjoy them to the fullest, and not be able to automatically track the progress of weightloss, and not accurately measure and hone one's balance.

Is there a balance measurement in the gym? Do they also give yoga lessons all day any time of day?

And you know, no one said its to REPLACE the gym, or any other type of exercise. I think Nintendo allows you to do Wii-fit and whatever else you want...

Sorry to rain on your parade, but the first 10 pounds are probably the easiest to lose simply because the first 5 or so pounds is simply water weight, and not actual fat.

It saddens me that the only way gamers could ever decide to get fit was by buying a fitness videogame. Seriously if you need a videogame to get fit you should also probably get a therapist because your whole life needs work. Whatever happened to just going outside and running for 30 min? It works much better than a videogame.

The only way to lower your BMI is by losing pounds. BMI is your weight relative to your height. So unless he shrunk in height, he lost both.

why would you wanna lose muscle if anything it will tone them but not cause you to lose any.

tbh i think its sad that people need to an add on to a games console to motivate them to exercise.

hmmm i find it hard to believe wii fit would be better at building your balance on a skateboard.

surely time on the board build up your natural balance on the skateboard better than wii fit.
