I do agree that the Wii is the most fun console out currently for parties, but another way to lose weight would easily be to get the ps2 or xbox and get DDR or something... It's not like the Wii is the ONLY console with something that will help lose weight, it just has the most choice and many items that could help you lose weight.

Although it is possible to lose weight by using the Wii, it won't turn you into an athlete. I read a news article a while ago about a professional athlete critizing all of the so-called weight loss video games. She stated that they are good for a casual person, but for a professional it won't do anything.Wii Fit is a good game IMO, but it's starting to get boring.

I personally don't think that, while it may be a great idea, developers should design games around making people lose weight. I do give it that the Wii does give you a minor workout when you play it, but, people, come on! Video games are supposed to be designed to be fun, and if exercise is what you consider fun or if exercise is what you need, then go to the gym!

i dont think that the wii will actually let you lose too much weight. probabl just a little only for obese people. anywyas, if you want exercise, go outside!

The thing about wii is that it helps energize the body to keep a metabolism up which is super nice! :3For those obsessed with their bodies to the point where they don't care about their health people... the human body should only lose .5-2 lbs a week which isn't much. 3500 calories= 1lb so it isn't that hard to do it if you have to swing your arms and move about a lot. We can all play some games for many hours, and doing that little activity 7 days a week is more effective than you might think!

If you really want to lose alot of weight, then the Wii isn't going to be your savior. You're better off actually going to the gym or something.

Wii is the best weight losing console. You get wii sport with it so you don't need to buy a game for losing weight.The wii also has Wii fit which is basically meant for weight loss. The wii should be for gaming though rather then just for weight loss.

I find the exercise Wii games somewhat dry. Maybe you'll set up a work out plan but you can never stick to it.I find the best chance at losing weight playing video games is addiction to DDR.In highschool I ran track, and I found DDR was a good way to stay fit in the off season without going to the gym or running outside in the freezing cold.If you can pry yourself away from your Wii Guitar Hero, DDR is a more fun way to stay in shape in my opinion.
