    That sounds AWESOME!!!  I have been debating getting a Wii for almost a year now and the Wii fit is very appealing.  Now if you can just find one!!!!

    Check Amazon - looks like they have them.

    I want one too, but not sure I can justify it when I have DVDs, gym membership, treadmill, ellipticle, weights, etc.

    There is a local Circuit City that has the Wii console and you can purchase the Wii Fit at Circuit City online for less then anyone else I have found.  Best Buy has the same prices but are sold out.

    Thank you so much for posting this because honestly it had gone off my radar, but after reviewing the customer comments I think this will be a good buy, especially going into the winter months.  I was going to buy a  new bike this week, but I think I might do this instead.  Save the bike for the spring when I will get more use out of it.

    What a way to say happy anniversary to my DH when he comes back from him business trip.  Now to decide if I should tell him or just surprise him!!!!

    I know what you mean....I'm sitting here looking at my calendar of workouts and since changing things up a bit, I decided that I was NOT going to be in the gym for more than 3 days a week (yes...obsessed).  Which means that I workout at home 2 days a week.  And I'm sitting here trying to justify why I NEED it - haha.

    Personally, suprise him - hehehee

    Yeah, that's what I decided.  I called around and found a store that has the Wii in stock so they are unofficially holding it for me, so fingers crossed its still there in 3 hours!  If they don't have the Wii Fit then their website says they are accepting pre-orders with a shipment date of tomorrow, so I will just run home and order it online. 

    DH will be so excited, I had put a ban on new gaming systems since he has a perfectly good PS2, but this is for our health.  At least that is how I am going to justify it!!!

    That's a GREAT way to justify it.....

    Let me know if you like it.  I just might need it for my health, too.

      I am the queen of justification, I just choose to use my powers for good instead of evil!!!

    I just talked to my sister who has a Wii and she loves it.  She played the Wii Fit at a friend's place and she said it really is a work out.  They were a little shocked at the fitness information.  They don't own a scale and so when her husband got on and saw that he was overweight, borderline obese he freaked a little.  But he's a muscular guy, so it sounds like you might have to take the BMI information, etc with a grain of salt.

    Just pre-ordered it - the price is really reasonable, especially when compared to other discs!

    I have to get back in my Wii Fit habit, it really liked it a lot and got out of the habit of using it (exercising regularly is the thing I have trouble with the most)
