What do you think of Wii Fit Plus for weight loss? (gym, workout)

[fantasy09]

I missed the whole craze Wii Fit had when it came out. So I have no idea how effective this game is for fitness.

On the days I just don't feel like speed walking, jump-roping, or doing Pilates will Wii fit suffice in getting my fitness in for the day? I heard it makes exercising fun a bit? How true is that?

What are some other games that are good for weight loss if not Wii Fit?

Thanks

It is no replacement for going to the gym or any other good workout, but it's better than sitting idle and stuffing your face. I have a Wii and we used to play the fitness game just for fun, a little competition when we had parties and such. I played with it a bit here and there and found the hardest exercise to be the plank. The running event wasn't too bad, but not as good as the real thing, but I think we all know that.
