Can using the Nintendo Wii actually help you lose weight?

So maybe you've heard the craze with the Nintendo Wii? Many people have been asking, can I actually lose weight playing these games? Well, I've been using the Wii for about two weeks now, playing the sports game (mostly tennis, baseball and boxing - Wii Sports) about 30 minutes per day. My diet has remained the same and I've lost about 2 lbs / week since starting the Wii program. I will continue posting my results on here but I'd love to hear if you've been using the Nintendo Wii and what your results are.

The more people I hear from and the more feedback from you guys & gals I will create a new blog about using the Wii and much more. So please stay tuned. But if you've been using the Nintendo Wii, please post your results on our forums page.

Give the Nintendo Wii a shot today, its worth a try if you're interested in losing weight and bored of just walking on the treadmill or riding a bike. I still suggest using a cardio machine but the Wii is a great solution to lose weight and get through the winter. Plus if you're looking for something to entertain friends and family the Wii is a great device to do just that.
