The Biggest Loser - Nintendo Wii

I have been using this "game" since the first of the year. It works well with the balance board, except sometimes it doesn't seem to record my movements. I find the fitness section to be challenging and suited my level which is basic. The challenges are the section that gives a good cardio workout and are fun. The "trainer" repeats the same phases a lot, but I do get a great workout. The recipe section is not very good. Most of the recipes don't list serving size. They are lifted from the Biggest Loser cookbooks with little editing. The calorie counting is worthless since it does not have any food information. If I eat an apple for lunch I have to go to an outside source to find the calories and then record them into the game. I don't use it at all. It is a disappointment that more thought wasn't put into this part of the game. It has the potential to be a total fitness program but instead is only an exercise program

With the semi-generic and confusing to use software, the game REALLY WORKS and it LOTS OF FUN! You can chose to train with Jillian or Bob. You can chose the length of your program from 4-12 weeks and you can chose your level of intensity for workouts. It also includes 50 recipes from the Biggest Loser cookbooks! On the down side, the scale is off. When you weigh in every week, it shows you your weight, but then when the big scale starts going like on the show, your before and after weight are completely different and you always end up losing weight in the game even if you haven't really lost any. it's weird and I still have yet to figure out why it does it. Maybe there's a blog? All in all MONEY WELL SPENT! And the kids like it too.

I am enjoying this work out game. It is an exercise program anyone can do. You don't have to be a fitness buff to complete the workouts but can do harder work outs are you are ready. They mix up the work outs each day too which is great for me. Also, I haven't been able to figure out how to add information from prior days and since it is unrealistic to think anyone will log in every day to add calories etc so there should be a feature that allows you to add entries for prior days.

I feel like I get a good workout everytime I play this game. I am only on the beginning level and I still work up a good sweat! There are a variety of activities, so I have not been bored with this at all. I have EA active and prefer this game over that.

the game is fantastic the only is some times it dosen't record well your movement and when you do exercises in the floor must of the time they dosen't indicate when you have to change position and repeat a lot the same comments like I'm impress or don't give up even your move or not but overall is very goos I lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks

If you keep up with the game and eat healthy you will lose weight with the game. It has an area where it gives you a recommended calorie intake. The challenges are hard, but it's exercise and may come easier to others. I do not appreciate Bob calling me his overweight lover. Even after losing 5 lbs in one week with the challenges I was still put in the elimination round. Of course I was picked to stay, but seriously???? I would have thought the game would have been made a little more realistic where 5 lbs was geat. The graphics could be better because sometimes it is hard to read the words on the TV. I have a 27 inch screen and perfect vision, and still have to concentrate to read things because of how blurry it can get. As far as recommending it to anyone... I would let them borrow it to see if they liked it before they bought it. Glad I got it on sale for $19.99 instead of $39.99. I personally like my EA Sports Active trainer game better.

I love it! Great work out. I don't like only being able to pick a former contestant to be my person, I would rather just pick me. For weigh in I would rather have me and my real weight show up on the board, but it is the contestants weight. Anyway other than that I love it and would recommend this as a great game.

I've used this for two weeks and have already lost 9 lbs. I know some complaints argued that it was too hard but working out at a good intensity is not easy! You can hit pause (I know that was a concern for some, just use the plus button). You can add routines to your workout or just do single exercises (not a feature I use because I opt for the routines). I'm not going to spend oodles of time here but I think it's worth it. I've recommended it to several friends - I think the calorie counting is really useful (though you can do that on any calorie counting website). It's a great addition to a cardio routine (done at a gym) or as a standalone workout. I lost 2 lbs just doing that solely and then 7lbs adding daily cardio from the gym (I'm giving the game 2 - 3 lbs, the gym 2-3lbs, and calorie counting the rest). Don't get me wrong though, this game gets your heart pumping!
