Games to lose weight

I'm using the NFL Training Camp and The Biggest Loser games to burn calories when I get home from work. I have to say I'm a little impressed. In a little over three weeks I've went from 218 to 208. I use Wii Fit to weigh and MFP to record my weight.

I stick to what MFP recommends except for the calories and carbs. I'm around 130 carbs and 1400 calories a day. Then using the HRM from the training camp game I burn about 250 -300 calories a day. I also jog sometimes too.

The training camp game is a lot like I've heard people describe crossfire. You work different muscle groups at different times repeatedly. They also throw in cardio with muscle workouts. I've been extremely sore from some of workouts. Biggest Loser is mostly cardio though.

So far I'm really excited. I know it's dumb but I went from being called obese on the wii fit to overweight. That actually made me giddy about this entire workout stuff. Hopefully I can get below 200 soon and maybe reach 190 before my June cruise.

Does anyone else use these games or know of another one to buy? They are cheap since the wii is so old.

    I still use mine. :) My daughter and I challenge each other to games when it's too late or cold to go out for a walk. I use EA Active as well as the Wii Fit. It has the option of more sport drills and some strength training with resistance bands. I'm normally sweating by the time I'm done - but I'm horribly out of shape!
