    I have, yes..I have some friends who like to play. My favorite song is "My Name is Jonas." I can only play on Medium right now, but working on getting up to Hard.

    I am still on easy. Don't play as much as I would like. I can do 98% on one easy or course and I suck at 97 on My name is Jonas.
    I think I will have to play it this weekend.

    You don't even need Wii fit... if you use Wii sports and do the boxing game... you can work up a sweat in no time. It's great for that.

    Did you know if you activly get into guitar hero and play for an hour you can burn up to 300 calories? I found that on one of the gaming websites...Got a kick out of it.

    I heard the designer of Wii Fit specifically state that it wasnt designed for exercise. Only fun. I am sure it will burn calories, but not like what your thinking!

    Got to do 10 fights of boxing at higher levels (and be angry) and it will definitely make you sweat!

    In Afghanistan, we were wearing our body armor too (extra 30lbs).

    This really does look cool. I found this trailer http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21592.html
    I cannot wait to buy one. Only problem is, I think my family will be fighting over who gets to play. :laugh:

    so i finaly got the wii fit, had it for 3 days now,

    i quite like it, its much better then sitting on your bum to play video games, but i wouldnt buy to replace your work out, some games make me sweat more then other, but nothing like a real work out,

    so its a good way to keep moving. i really like the balance games, like the skiing and such, but those arent too physicly involved, the muscle workout are quite good. i've played for 1h already today and can't wait for some more later, after my normal workout.

    i just wonder how many calories i burn while doing it, guess i wont know until i get a hrm !!

    it fallows your progress as well. for those you didnt like the idea of being weighted everyday, i find it easy to not really care. i dont think its really acurate, with all my clothes on, after breakfast and everything anyways. they also give you your fit age.

    in all, its good fun !

    I want a wii so bad but they're backordered at least 7 months at all stores around here :(

    I'd try ebay but the chance of actually winning one is next to nil because of bid snipers, and people have the buyitnow at like, 900$.

    Go to Walmart.com or Target.com or Toysrus.com and check there. We got ours on EBay and it was $600 with 2 controllers, 2 nunchucks, protective covering for controllers, Wii sports, Wii Play, Guitar Hero III. It was never opened. Shop around.

    there's no they people, you can add it yourself. This site's food and exercise databases are Wiki-like. Which means you can add, edit, and remove things posted.

    does anyone have a site that lists how much calories you burn while doing the specific exercises for Wii fit? :flowerforyou:
