    Oh yay!! We got one too! I love that thing! Got the Wii Fit Plus! Amazing!

    Hubby and I love the bowling game as well!

    Wii is awesome!

    Hey P. ~ If you have a chance, buy the Mario vs. Sonic at the Olympic Games one. It's great! You can downhill ski, bobsleigh, play hockey, figure skate, etc...

    Hubby wins at figure skating and I win at bobsleigh...go figure!

    Despite your admitted ... ummm ... lack of skills with this yet, I'll bet its a killer on that 56 inch screen hubby got from Santa ....

    I still refuse to get one.

    I lost over 40lbs with the Wii Fit. Wii Fit Plus is a whole lot better. It is the only console I would recommend, but only if you get games that require activity from the player.

    Chacha~ If you don't have the Wii Fit Plus, I highly suggest you consider buying it. Save yourself some money (gym membership) and invest in the Wii Fit Plus kit.
    I got mine at Target for $99 dollars.

    I could stand to lose 30 pounds, maybe I should get one too! Either that or hire a DI from Parris Island to whip my sorry a$$ into shape.

    Not going to lose weight overnight with it like all of those miracle products you see on TV.
    I am averaging 1-2 pounds a week.

    But, for a person who enjoys gaming, it keeps the motivation going and records all of your efforts graphically.
    I really like that.
    Plus your Mii gets thinner as you go along.

    But .... what if I don't necessarily want a "thinner" Mii?? I've heard that being "thicker" is good on occasion ...

    We have a Wii system...it's a fun little system. And it has built in wireless internet connection...so if you have a wireless network in your house, you can connect to the internet with your Wii..yes, you can surf the net...but the coolest thing you can do is download other Miis from online and have them on your system. I have played 3-on-3 basketball (Sports Resort Plus) against Adolph Hitler, Homer Simpson and Mr. Bean....what a team that was!

    Don't have the Wii Fit or Fit Plus...but the Fit Plus is on our To Get list as soon as possible.

    The boys have a Wii and Wii Fit Plus too. The also have PCs, PSPs, XBox360,etc. If it comes to gaming, they have one (each has one),

    I have never once use any of the game consoles, only a PC, my PC. I play "real" games, I go out and get it done.

    Good on you for that weight loss Dain, I could never stand stationary exercise equipment and still don't. I have to really be moving. When I walk, I want to cover some real ground, when I cycle, the same. When I play tennis, baseball, kick a football, etc. I want balls in motion, not some pseudo virtual effect.

    I agree 100%!! Grew up during the "Mario/NES" era! That new Super Mario game is worth every penny!

    wow! nicely done! i spent a year in the gym, 2 hrs a day, 3-4 days a week and didn't see results like that! my shape changed some, but i only lost 25 lbs. i did however change my muscle mass drastically. i'm not really much of a dieter though. with a bum leg, cardio is near impossible for me, without a pool. go ahead and have that ice cream, i say you've earned it.
