@x23: Nope, only the jogging is two player. And that doesn't use the balance board, but two Wiimotes. Takings turns isn't as much as a drag as it sounds like though.

if you have two WiiFit balance boards can two people "play" at once? or is it mostly a solo activity?

Hi, I just shaved. Smooth as an androids bottom.

And having had WiiFit here for a while; Do all the yoga and muscle excercises at the most reps in one "sitting". Every day. If you don't lose weight, you probably eat more than an adult elephant. It works, really, it does.

@nutbastard: Correct response/reference is not gotten by me. Sorry. But if it's something I need to experience like a movie, song, or game then I'm all for it.

Just as long as you don't reach the prickly, cut through and get stuck in your underwear phase, it should be fine.

anti-hello-kitty — Thu, 08 May 2008 16:28:48 EDT

@Curves

Chubby/overweight people always say that they are fine with their weight and how they look (I love me exactly how I am!). Then when they lose a few pounds they are telling everyone that will listen. In reality they really don't want all of that weight, yet they are also unwilling to put the work into losing it. I once was overweight, too and it has been a struggle to get down to a more reasonable weight/size. I've been working out for 5 years off an on, and I've been able to keep dropping weight. Fitness is truly a lifestyle change!

For the record; I biked 24 miles Monday, 25 yesterday (Wednesday) and have a 1.5hour tennis lesson tonight. Plus I have a 60 mile bike ride Saturday.

The scenery keeps me motivated, and gentlemen, I'm not talking about trees. (Especially now that spring is in the air)

@Curves: Thanks for the loving words, Curves. You're right, of course, about anorexia, no jokes here, it can be devastating. And what we in America think is "beautiful" is so often, in reality, an already dangerously thin model made even thinner through Photoshop. Does nobody watch "Ugly Betty"?

In my case, unfortunately, I had passed "chubby" long ago and was quickly approaching "Harvey Fierstein-esque". And, more than an image problem, it is for me a health issue as well.

To all chubby people: I love and accept you AS YOU ARE. I have seen first hand the damage of anorexia, and its not pretty. Love yourself for all your wonderful qualities and not because some number on a chart says youre "normal".
ps-I work out 4 times a week, its for the cardio thing and I have learned to accept myself as I am, which is not a size zero, and I still have curves, which men have liked all along, God bless them.

@bosskev:

I agree, right on brotha!

Since i started my "diet" in february (and i quote diet because i've been eating not-so-healthy things a lot, just less often and in smaller proportion) i've lost 15 pounds, and they keep coming off! Although this is obviously more of a novelty game/glorified scale than actually helping you lose weight (as detailed earlier), i think it does have some good in keeping you informed and aware of what you need to do to help out getting your body in shape, and not munching on cheetos.

As long as Nintendo isn't trying to replace having to step outdoors entirely, tho.

bosskev — Thu, 08 May 2008 14:19:26 EDT

Interesting device, but I don't need a Wii Fit calculating my BMI to tell me that I am obese. My bathroom mirror already does that. Still, as of this past Monday, I've started a fitness program of my own. It's called, "Eat Less, Move More".

But I'll give my personal story a little Gizmodo spin. Part of any weight loss/fitness regimen is discipline and commitment. So, as part of my commitment process, once a day you will see me conclude one of my various (hilarious! informative! and wildly entertaining!) comments with a negative number representing total pounds lost thus far. That little number--measured via an electronic gadget!--will be my way of staying committed via a public declaration. Feel free to bombard me with peer pressure as desired.

And no, I'm not going to tell you up front how much I need to lose. For that you'll just have to watch that little number's progress...

I'll have to pass on this.. not just because I'm what science refers to as a "Fat ass", but mainly because everything I buy for my Wii only gets used for no more than two weeks. I played Mario Kart for 2 days and haven't touched it since GTA came out. Plus if I really wanted a work out I'd just go walking or something. It costs me nothing except some questionable stares from the local squirrel population.
