Does Wii Fit aide in weight loss?

Question

Just wanted to get an overall understanding of people's experiences on the game. Thanks!

Answer 1

I lost a stone with it. It will work but you need to watch the diet as well. You also need to remember that if you gain muscle you will gain weight.

Answer 2

I believe I read in the paper not long ago that doing the Wii Fit exercises helps lose weight faster than doing X amount of regular exercise a day.

That being said though, from my own experience, I played about on Wii Fit & it told me I weighed X amount, so I stopped for 5 mins & had a cigarette, went back & I'd gained 7lbs!

I'm sure though that the exercise combined with a healthy diet would help lose weight in time though. It's not all mini games, some of the aerobics stuff is quite hard, lol.
