    My Wii won't read disks! I have to send it in for repair.

    I used to do WiiFit a lot, especially the step while I was watching TV. Once it's fixed, I think I should get back into the routine. I'm interested in the Zumba; how similar is it to the real thing?

    I love EA Sports Active. The 30 day challenge is named aptly. :)

    I'd really love to get a Zumba game, but I fear I just don't have the coordination for it. Or the space in my apartment. :/

    I have NO coordination at all, so don't worry about that, you can still easily do it :)

    I have a home gym, my step dad did it all up for me but I just don't use any of the equipment as I find it boring lol. Recently I've started using my wii for my workouts, especially on my really bad depression days, my little brother plays on it more than anyone else so most of the games are mario games lol, but I like the wii sports resort game. I loved playing basketball as a kid lol, I'm waiting for my zumba 2 to arrive, should be tomorrow or wednesday excited and nervous lol.
    I'm not trying to lose, I'm trying to gain but tone up.
    Is zumba 2 good at all? Have you noticed any changes in your body?

    I have:
    EA Active Sports
    Wii Sports
    Wii Sports Resort
    Wii Fit Plus
    Just Dance 2
    Zumba

    This along with walking around my subdivision and some running is how I have lost all of my weight. So I agree with the previous poster that the Wii is definitely a beneficial weight loss/exercise tool.

    A wii group would be a great help to me, I think. Looks like I need some dance games though.

    I have a Wii but I use Kinect for Xbox 360. I like it over the Wii since I dont need to hold on to a controller as the Kinect tracks your movements with a couple of cameras. I use EA Active Sports 2 with my XBox Kinect. EA Active 2 is the only thing I use to exercise. Though its not perfect I am pretty happy with it. I get good workouts I feel. They can really kick my butt :) Another nice thing about this game on Kinect is that it gives you a cheapo heart rate monitor that syncs with the game to help calculate calories and tell you to get moving if you're half assing it.

    I use Wii Fit but after reading through this think I'm going to add Zumba and Wii Fit Plus to my collection. Wii Fit has been my main source of exercise since I began on my weight loss journey in mid-January.

    I've started cycling and hiking recently, but I do still use my Wii when the weather's rubbish :-) I love EA Active 2 with the heart rate monitor. I do 40 minutes (including warm up and cool down) of Step aerobics using EA Active 2 and a step I got off amazon. That burns around 350 calories and has done wonders for my leg strength and my balance. I also like Zumba - I never get the moves right but flinging myself around the living room like an uncoordinated idiot still makes me sweat as much anyway!

    Absolutely! I love love my Wii - I have Wii Fit Plus and Zumba. I've heard some good things about MyFitnessCoach!

    It would be great to start a group for Wii users as I love mine and would be really interested to hear what my other MFP pals use?

    I've been debating on getting Zumba for my Wii, do you really burn calories w/ it? And would you say it's worth it?

    I use my Wii on occasion. I have a glider I work out on at home and a gym membership. I use the Wii Fit to weigh myself but really when I use the Wii it's to play Zumba 2. I love it!
