I can't believe my luck! After 4 weeks of calling our local Best Buy, I finally hit them on a day when they had a shipment of Wii Fits. The employee on the phone was nice enough to hold one for me at customer service while I raced down there to claim my prize!

I have played it in other people's homes, and thought it was a lot of fun, so I couldn't wait to get one for B and I. When he found out that I had gotten my hands on one, he was excited too, and can't wait to use it with me when he comes home!

My favorite games so far are the hula hooping (defintely a good ab workout!) and the skiing.

So, does anybody else have one? Any favorite games? Complaints or praises?

We're getting one for Christmas, in no small part because of a conversation I had with some guys in my unit. We work a specialized field, and the military springs to get us some expensive toys to maintain proficiency of certain skills. A Wii and Wii fit would cost less than many of these toys, and probably help everyone. I told jill how much stuff it has, and she agrees, we need to get one.

I haven't yet bought it but I want to really really badly. I also wanna learn about Wii Music. Sorry.. off topic. Wii fit looks cool too .

We got the Wii and Wii Fit in the summer. My wife and I were using it and had fun and lost weight surprisingly easily. We did belong to a gym but schedules were not compatible. I work what is basicall a teachers schedule, so when the school year began, I did not have so much time to use it. Over the last 2 weeks though, I have gotten back into it and have lost about 7 pounds. And I have just been eating more sensibly, not even really dieting.

was never into the Wii phenomenon, but my wife's company has started a Wii bowling league for interoffice play every thursday afternoon. we went to her boss's for a cookout and Wii practice. i took a few turns, and really enjoyed it.

maybe i'll look into some of their stuff....

i really dig her team's name "Wii Suck"

I managed to score one over the summer at Toys R Us. It was a totally freak thing as you can't get them anywhere in LA (and haven't been able to since it came out) and I bought it mainly for Alicia. I already go to the gym every morning before she and Kealii wake up, so I thought it might be good for her to do a few reps in our home each evening. So far, nada. Though I have to admit the room in which we have our Wii system is not idea for that particular activity. Since her mom is moving in with us, we're moving the game console into the living room and hopefully she'll take it up again.

I do like gauging my own progress using the Wii fit's measuring program. Though I don't work out on the game, per say, I can still log in and it will check my weight and body fat percentage, as well as my balance and a few other things. As far as getting a workout goes, I'd play Dance, Dance Revolution, which gets the heart seriously pumping. White boy gots skills, man!
