It's almost time for my birthday next week and I think I need to try harder for changing my life around and getting healthier. I was thinking of getting a Wii Fit to get more motivation and I'm thinking there would be a lot more things to do and more fun then "Yourself Fitness" the Wii version which I think it's called "My Fitness Coach" or something. I forgot. I'm also worried I might break the board somehow even though it says it can stand up to 330 lbs. (I'm 295 lbs.). I just need some opinions and testimonies of other people who have had either a bad/good experience with Wii Fit. I just don't want to spend $100 bucks on something that isn't going to work or I can't use quite yet.

I absolutely love my Wii Fit. I just recently bought the Wii Fit Plus which I think improved really well on the original and if you do decide on purchasing it I'd see if you could get the balance board bundled with the new Wii Fit Plus. I'm not sure if that bundle's out yet.

The weight limit on it is 330 lbs like you had mentioned and the design of the board in my opinion is very sturdy. I'm 165 lbs myself so I haven't tested the weight limit but in my experience Nintendo's very good in making their products reliable and durable so I think it should be fine but totally up to you.

I find if I vary my work out between the strength exercises and the aerobic exercises I get a really good work out. I haven't had any problems with the game, no freezes or disc errors or anything like that. I've also found the game to be very rewarding. It tracks your workouts like a standard game would track high scores which I've found really helps me push myself to get better and more fit so I can beat my own high score.

I would definitely recommend either the Wii Fit or the Wii Fit Plus.

Hope this is helpful for you

My husband just got me Wii Fit for Christmas, and I'm looking forward to getting into playing it.
