Wii Fit - any tips for using it for big weight loss?

[TidyBush]

I've got about 6 stone to lose and I plan to lose it over a year (looking for 1/2 stone a month on average).

It's too easy to say I'll do it after Christmas (knowing I'll just put more on by then)so I'm making a committment now to try and shift 7-10lbs by 25th Dec.

We've got Wii Fit and I'd like to make use of it to help tone up as I go along.

Anyone got any tips in terms of what exercises to do and how long to go on for?

Forget the Wii Fit and get EA Active - much more intense than gamey IYKWIM. You can make up custom programmes to suit your mood.

I have EA Active and just got the new Wii fit which I will start on tomorrow (1st) as well as cutting out bread and sugar (she says hopefully!)

Thanks gallusbesom I'll be putting that on my Christmas list

I have been using the jOG accessory for the Wii and have had some good results!

I was bored of the exercises on the Wii Fit and found that jOG is more fun because it works with different games. Much cheaper too so its worth a try.

Another thumbs up for EA Active here and the new more workout one is by far better than the 1st one (doesnt tell me off as much as 1st one lol). Have not lost weight (much to my utter disgust) but my clothes fit so much better.

Spend lots of time on the rhythmn boxing and hula hoop. Really works up a sweat. Also the jogging is good for you to see progress. 1st time I did it could only jog for a couple of minutes. Eventually was running for half hour. I lost best part of 5 stone in 8 months using wii and GI diet.

If you can also try The Biggest Loser i think that is brill, gives you a proper sweatty work out.
