Anyone used Wii Fit + diet to try to lose weight and get fitter?

Just interested- wondered what exercises you chose.

I recall the woman on The Gadget Show doing so with good results (though she looked like the type who started pretty fit, tbh!)

how do you record your non wii exercise on it? i like the way the wii keeps a record of your activity but i dont always do wii, eg today i did my new fitness dvd instead!
