WII - do you use one to exercise

[ioncewasamjskeptic]

I just got a wii for my bday last month, I figured I cant make myself go out to walk etc. and I love it! I borrowed the country dance from my nieve, I rented the micheal jackson(what a workout!) I really do want to get the wii fit but darn this stuff is expensive! I am really going to check into some trading/lending/whatever! So far, so good:-)

Well, I've been using the Walk it Out and Gold's Cardio workout for about a month now and I'm down 12 pounds. I'm still debating on which game to get next, I think I need to "bump it up" a little now. Is anyone else loosing weight using the WII? Of course I'm also on a 1400 cal/day diet. Maybe the exercise makes me forget I'm hungry LOL

I am a fan of Dance Dance Revolution on the Wii. I wear a bodybugg, so I can see roughly how many calories I burn. If I'm low on steps for the day (aiming for 10K), I'll plug it in and go until I reach my goal. I can end up dancing for like 2-3 hours if I'm not careful, lol.

I have both the Dance Dance Revolution and the DDR: Hottest Party 2 games. I've found I move more all over my body with DDR: HP2 than just the regular DDR. The regular DDR is fine for playing with friends, but I like the other for some kind of workout.
