Ive never been into video games either but when i needed to start working out, this was perfect! This is much more interactive then anything Ive ever seen, the woman actually looks a lot like me!

I also got Wii Fit Plus for Christmas, along with EA Sports Active. I must say, I love them both! I'm impressed with the workouts I get with them. They are different but each good in their own ways. In my opinion, EA Active is a little tougher, and Wii Fit is more entertaining.

I had plateaud for a couple months and was getting very frustrated. I started doing the two Wii game on Dec. 27th, and I've lost over 10 lbs. since then!

Wii Fit is a great way to get started in private so that you don't have to feel self-consious. EA Sports Active is actually pretty intensive and I highly recommend it. You can get better rubber bands at Best Buy or many other stores.

The games are really good to get you kick-started, but eventually you should reconsider joining a gym. You can take it to the next level there, and the ritual of going there, getting dressed and working out in that environment helps you stay motivated.

If the gym you went to is full of idiots, find another one. In my experience most gyms are very friendly and welcoming. Some gym rats get a little cynical this time of year because there are soooooooo many New Years Resolution types that will take over all the equipement for 2 months and then give up and disappear. But 99% will think it's cool you are there. After all, where else do you want to see a fat person than at the gym?

I was banded Jan 4, 2010, and just started working out a few days ago. I was going to go to Curves, but I was fortunate enough to find a local women's fitness place that has lots of equipment for just $10 a month - and no sign-up fee!!! So my 13 yr-old daughter and I both signed up (although she is by no means overweight, just wants to tone up, as she is not into playing sports). I plan on working out 5 days a week there. I also walk at work, 30-40 minutes a day. Weekends will be either rest days, or I may do the Wii. Good luck to you all!

I love wii fit plus. I pick several exercise sets and do 3 of each, it's ends of being about 55 minutes of exercise. I get my heartrate up and break a sweat. I also have biggest loser for wii....that also gets me workin!

I got the Wii Fit Plus and ES Sports Active for Christmas also I've only used the Fit program in pick and choose activities. EA Sports I've done the canned workouts a couple time I enjoyed it but it beat my butt.

This weekend I got Walk It Out just used it for the first time by their calculation I walked 2.5 miles. It's fun and doesn't wear me out as much as EA Sports.
