I was hoping for soemthing like that too, but i don't think it is there..

I keep forgetting to post but I am still loving my wii fit

I am trying to do at least 30 mins a day, usually I am getting in an hour a day.

I am currently loving the soccer game. Is there an expert level to unlock?

Hoops · 09-06-2008, 11:41 PM

September Goal..... 1000 minutes Seeing I haven't done any yet, I ought to get started tomorrow!

ThyckeCutie · 09-07-2008, 02:27 PM

32mins of wii fit today and 20min arm workout

dointhis4me · 09-07-2008, 08:31 PM

Just got my Wii Fit today, I

it!! 30 mins on it today, can't wait until tomorrow to use it again!!

xfatchik · 09-07-2008, 10:22 PM

63 minutes today.

WildIrishRose · 09-08-2008, 06:39 AM

Hi All,

My Wii Fit arrived on Friday - I set it up Saturday morning. I spent 71 minutes on Sat. 15 Minutes yesterday and so far 20 minutes today. My daughter is enjoying it too!!

dointhis4me · 09-08-2008, 02:56 PM

30 mins so far today. But it did make me explain 1.5 lb gain overnight and water weight was not an option

xfatchik · 09-08-2008, 10:54 PM

30mins today. When I gain weight it asks for a reason. If you use the same "excuse" too many times...it scolds you!!!

Hoops · 09-08-2008, 11:08 PM

Shoot, Vicki, it never asked me and I gained sometimes. What does it say and what reason do you give?

xfatchik · 09-08-2008, 11:11 PM

I haven't been gaining too much lately....losin' again. But...when I do gain ANY weight it ask WHY. I usually use "late night snacking" as the reason.

LowCarbSleepyToast · 09-10-2008, 07:35 AM

LOL I hate it when it asks why I gained.. It doesnt have any of the real reasons like TOM or carb-fest..

Anyways, I JUST GOT MY BRONZE PIGGY!

I'm so exicted. I've only had it for 16 days, too.. Is there a silver and gold piggy?

Also, is there an expert level of the balance games?

tapestry11 · 09-10-2008, 08:29 AM

Can I join your challenge? Today was the 105th day I've had mine but I haven't been using it consistently. I need some accountability.

My favorites are the step, the balance balls (don't know the exact name) and the penguins.

I did 15 minutes this morning before work

At what point and how do you get the bronze, silver and gold pigs? I don't think I've gotten there yet but I'd like to!

xfatchik · 09-10-2008, 08:34 AM

Silver piggy is at 20 hours I believe.

Did 22 minutes last night on my Wii Fit. I like doing the free step while watching Tv.

Yes, there is an expert level on the balance games. I think you have to unlock the advanced first in order to get them.

KarbieGrl · 09-10-2008, 12:17 PM

FINALLY!! I created my mii and logged 32 minutes last night. I was having so much fun and DH couldn't stand it. So I had to stop and let him try. This is the first video game I have ever really enjoyed.
Has anybody seen actual weight loss, toning or any added benefits from using this regularly? I am curious...

Rita80 · 09-10-2008, 11:03 PM

I'm so happy to have found this thread. I love wii fit!!

12 lbs and counting.......

xfatchik · 09-10-2008, 11:58 PM

Welcome all the newcomers!

I am fairly new to the Wii Fit myself. Just bought it beginnning of last month...

I LOVE the Wii Fit! It is what I needed to get my butt off the couch and up and movin' again!!!!

Karbie~ Welcome !!! and YeS, I have seen a difference in using the Wii Fit! I have definitely lost some weight, BMI has gone down and my pudgy belly is not the same! I strive to do at least 30 mins per day. sometimes more sometimes less but it still adds up!!!!

63 mins tonight~~~

vli1127 · 09-11-2008, 11:10 AM

I have a question and maybe it was answered before but I don't have the time to read through 21 pages of posts. If you consider yourself a very fit person can the Wii fit be challenging enough for you?

I tried a friends and frankly, I don't feel you sustain any exercise long enough to get any benefit if you are already fit. I can see this for a beginner maybe. There were too many interuptions and the exercising or repetitions didn't last very long. My friend had just got it and maybe there are ways to get rid of the interuptions and add time or repetitions though.

I have picture in picture (split screen) on my tv.

vli~ I don't really understand your question about the Wii Fit. Are you saying that it is not exercise? Have you ever tried the advanced hula hoop or boxing? That is DEFINITELY exercise. I sweat so much that I have to grab a towel to wipe my face!!!

Rita80 · 09-11-2008, 08:13 PM

Rita80 · 09-11-2008, 08:14 PM

I currently have my wii console connected to the internet. I would love to see everyone's mii character!!! Is anyone willing to share their 16 digit wii address book console number? If not, perhaps we can take a pic of our mii and post them.

Rita80 · 09-11-2008, 09:35 PM

here is my mii

xfatchik · 09-11-2008, 11:04 PM

I am not sure how to post a pic of my Mi???

Got in 36 minutes tonight.

Rita80 · 09-12-2008, 12:06 AM

its a little challenging. I took a pic of my TV with my digital camera. then i uploaded it to my desktop. when i posted it, you have to enter a URL. You can get a URL on photobucket.com, or upload it on any website (like myspace), right click, go to properties and copy and paste the URL.

pretty complicated huh? does anyone know an easier way?

scrappychik · 09-12-2008, 12:18 PM

Ive been away for a bit. I kinda lost my way after vacation last month

but Im back in the groove now

I did 30 min. the last 2 days and an hour this AM. Im glad y'all decided to post the top scores. I think it will motivate some of us. Ill check out the thread and see how much work I really have cut out for me

Rita~ Love your Mii! I will see if I can post mine

CarolynF · 09-12-2008, 08:13 PM
