Do it! Wii fit can be fun and you can sweat a lot if you do it right :D 

If U have wii fit than ya try it but personally I did research n look at tons of reviews n if u get ea sports active for wii its so much better ya it can b expense $59.99 for the game n leg strap n residence band but since starting it on my weight loss plan i started seeing inches I can already see the difference in I'm seeing parts of my body I couldn't see for 5 years haha but ea sports active really makes u sweat n feel it n u can do just 20 Mins or how long u want..don't take my word go type in ea sports active reviews on Google n compare the two...good luck to ur wieght lost goal 

Thank You I'll try the ea sports I need all the help I can get 

That's how I look at it.....as in 5 years I let myself go n gain 120lbs I see it as if I'm gonna try n lose weight I'm gonna try all out n really do it...but also I'm the type that gets a gym membership n only goes the first day..(yes I have done this) but this workout thing makes me really want to do it keep doing it haha sorry just got done doing a workout still a little excited about it haha 

You're very motivating!! 

I use Wii Fit Plus, and so far I think it's mostly helpful for balance and posture, not as much for burning cals. There are some games (running, biking, hula-hoop, etc.) that are more effective for burning calories than others, but after several months of using those, I'm getting a little bored. I'm trying to switch it up a lot with other workout videos. Maybe you'll have better luck with the game than I did! Have fun! 

I really like my Wii Fit Plus, then again I have only been using it for a week and have lost 4lbs so far. I also have the EA Active game here, but am saving it for when the Wii Fit gets too easy/boring. I really like it and it's fun! If you have it in the house go ahead and give it a go while you wait on getting the EA Active game 

I broke my ankle in a softball game last year and still feel the affects so balance and posture might help alot 

The Wii Fit Plus is so awesome! I have nerve damage in one of my legs, so it feels slightly numb and I'm always worried that I am walking crooked. The Wii Fit has been great since I can get feedback to see if I'm not standing properly. Lots of luck, coach! My uncle lost over 100 pounds on Jenny Craig! 

Well I started the Wii Fit and it really is a good workout at least for me it is I'm going to do step aerobic and the hula hoop programs next 

If you hurt your ankle, balance and posture will definitely help you get stronger for more intense stuff. If you go too fast out of the gate you might sideline yourself for awhile. Speaking from experience! Plus it'll help with core strength which you need for everything else. Good luck with whatever you pick. No matter what exercise you pick and how many cals it burns, it will give you confidence and a better mindset to push forward.  

I haved to wear a brace and sometimes it's more painful than exercising But I'll take it slow Thanks 

You have to do what works for you, especially if you're injured. Unfortunately, it might mean more calorie restriction depending on your plan :( but, you're on the right path, wishing you much success! 

good luck with your exercise! whatever program you choose, it will be good for you. I don't know anything about wii, but the posture and balance thing sounds really good.
