Did You Get Fit From Your Wii Fit?

I was pretty surprised to hear that Wii Fit has just beaten Grand Theft Auto IV in video game sales — who woulda thunk it that the Nintendo-exercising contingent would best the shoot-em-up contingent?

If you followed my progress, you'd know that I lost a few pounds and gained some skills in my month-long Wii Fitness challenge, so I'm a believer, but that was several months ago.

While I did it largely as an experiment, I want to know if those of you who helped beat GTA IV and bought the Wii Fit, have actually gotten fitter as a result. Do tell!

    I'm buying one, when the price drops. Well now its 108 EUR.. I'm not sure I'd take it seriously so I'd rather buy new bag until then. Laughing out loud

    Just grab one off of ebay from a reputable seller...it's cheaper than the stores and you can even get them with the bundle including the Wii system + the Wii Fit for under $400.

    I've steadily lost weight, but I'm kind of bad about playing it consistently.

    I've lost over 10 lbs. since getting mine. Not just from using it, I do other workouts, but it helps keep you on track.

    I said other- I'm a lot more round in the belly area, though that could be the small human growing in there.

    I tried my own 30 day thing when I got mine (as of this morning I'm on day 52). I really didn't lose very much weight from it. It's lots of fun and keeps me active but I lost only 2 pounds. Even now on day 52 I didn't lose as much as I was hoping.
    I am now pairing it with DDR hottest party 2 and ordered Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum and All Star Cheer Squad

    If I stick to it, I do notice a difference in how fit I feel, but I just have a hard time sticking to it, I guess. I exercise more in the summer. I think I have the winter blahs and it isn't even winter yet.

    I have lost weight with it, but I was away for a month and haven't really picked it back up since I returned.

    I've got it for a month, I've lost weight and feel fit after playing it continuously (3-4 times a week, 30min-1hour per time) It helps keep you on track.
