I wish you the best of luck!

I played EA sports active a lot during this winter cause I couldn't get out running.. it helped me keeping me in shape but I want to advice you to replace the rubber band with a stronger one.. the one coming with the game is a bit cheap..

Well then for sure check if you can use the dance mat/pad on your laptop :).. Nothing is so fun to exercise on songs you like...  Last summer I spend hours a day just dancing on songs of games I like Zelda/Pokemon/MGS/FF/ etc..  Just don't film it =p.

This is truly intersting to me, leaving a mark so I can come back and read the updates!

Good luck!

This is what I do since some of the exercises don't feel like anything much (then again I only have Wii Fit ). Though I just got some wrist/ankle weights rather than the wiimote specific stuff.

As far as diets go, it's mostly the sugars to watch out for, especially fructose (notably the corn fructose syrup but also given the choice between fruit and fruit juice, go for the fruit).

Good luck!

Wii Fit does seem to be more general exercises than intense ones. Some sessions with We Cheer and the dance games can really make me sweat.

Frankly I barely do the cardio stuff on WiiFit, and the balance ones I keep for when I need a break. Yoga sometimes, but mostly the strenght ones and they can be pretty taxing with the extra weights (also a lot of them are sort of slow and to me it seems the slow movements take more).

Cardio... well, I live next to a park so I just occasionally jog, and cardio does burn up quite a bit, but my BMI is like 20 so I mostly exercise to keep some muscles in check rather than for weight loss. Still, like it was already mentioned, muscles are key for 24/7 faster metabolism, so don't limit yourself with just cardio.

I own both Golds Gym Cardio Workout and Wii Fit.  I have been alternating between the two since January 1st (new years resolution) with a 25-30 min workout 5-6 times a week. 

With this regimen and keeping my caloric intake under 2000 calories daily I have gone from 188lbs to 173.  In addtion, I believe I have put on some muscle. 

cool thread, i used to play soooo much stepmania it was retarded. like 10 hours a week for like 4 years. i also weight lift though, i just played sm cuse it was fun, but it does work up a sweat.

i know you said this is an experiemantjust using fitness games, but if you do lose weight, i would encourage you too eventually start lifting weights/going to a gym/running outside. but good luck regardless, and dont give up. i remember i once missed 3 weeks of working out after lifting for like 3 years straight i thought i was never going to go again, thank goodness i did, very hard to start once youve stopped for awhile though.

I maybe the last person to give you any advice, but I only have Wii Sports (yes, it's a shame), just the boxing game actually made me and my sister sweat.

No it is all about the cardio!!! :P
