My family are Fat
We need a lot of help - not a bit
The fun way to slim
Would be using a Wii Fit
Oct 6th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
Why do I want a wii fit?
I just want to try it a bit,
With wii sports shooting ducks
Swinging both my nunchuks
The worst bit was smashing my telly!
Oct 6th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
I love the Wii because my boyfriend is so focused on it when hes playing for hours, that I can have peace and quiet!
Oct 6th, 2009 at 8:13 pm

Oct 6th, 2009 at 9:07 pm

its quite simply…flippin’ brill!!!
Oct 6th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
I Love the fact that we must have played wii sports a million times and yet it never gets boring! Everyone from My Mum to My 2 year old Daughter enjoys playing it, and its nice to exercise whist playing a computer game!
Oct 7th, 2009 at 6:01 am
I would just to loose weight in a fun way, my friends Wii got me convinced….i need one too.
Oct 7th, 2009 at 9:29 am
I love the way the Wii brings the whole family together, that all adults become children, and you end every game with stomach ache and mascara running down your face from crying with laughter at yourself and everyone else. Best entertainment money can buy!!
Oct 7th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
the wii is a brill console
bought for the kids and me
now on weekends when theres nowt to do
we can play as a family
my 6 yr old lad gets selfish
thinks its all for him
until i tell him i’ll sell it
not that i’d be that dim
i use the wii fit
to try and get in shape
not that it makes a differance
cuz i’m still as fat as a grape
Oct 7th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
I love my wii
It loves me too
It says to me
What shall we do?
Play a game?
Keep you fit?
Wiimote at the ready
and punch and hit.
Its fun, I love it
Its for the family
But no one loves it
As much as me.
Oct 8th, 2009 at 7:55 am
I love my Wii because…..
Wii are family
All my sisters and brothers agree
Wii are family
Including dad and mummy !
Oct 8th, 2009 at 11:01 am
I have always wanted a Wii…,
There is so much there to see…
You can ski down a hill or ride on a board;
And dont leave the house..which many cant afford..
Your dreams can come true.
On the Wii you CAN do…
So here I am on bended knee..
OH PLEASE LET ME WIN THIS WII!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oct 8th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
Wii = We (Togetherness with family and friends)
Wii = Wee (What you often forget you need to do when playing on it)
Wii = Weeeee! (What you shout when playing on it)
Wii = Mine (What I hope the result of this competition will be)
Oct 8th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
A fun thing for all to do
Me, my family, my best friends too
Even Grandad, who’s sixty three
What is it?, its a Nintendo Wii
Oct 8th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
I love the wii as its something that the whole family can use either together or sepratley plus our friends get involved too everyone loves the wii
Oct 9th, 2009 at 11:26 am
Its an e-motional rollercoaster ride from “joy” when it’s turned on, to “love” playing on it, to “fear” losing to your kids again, to “sorrow” when it’s switched off and finally to “hope” to play again soon.
Oct 10th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
i like the versatility of the console and the fact it’s something a whole family of different ages can truly use whether it be together or alone. it’s also easily expandable: you can choose what you want to get out of it and i like that in a product.
Oct 10th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
oh dear I don`t own a wii, I wish I did.
I have played on one once, it was great.
looks like the must have console.
my partner is overweight, he could do with getting fit.
Oct 11th, 2009 at 11:48 am
How else can I exercise in the nude
Without other people thinking it’s rude?
I can do my own thing
Stretch my back, run and fling.
No laughing! This is doing me good.
Oct 12th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
I love watching my 70 year old mother n law ski jumping and hula hooping, amuses us all and she gets a bit of exercise.
Oct 13th, 2009 at 6:28 am
I love watching my husband get his ass kicked by our 6 year old daughter on pretty much every game they play…
Also, more seriously, it’s great way for the three of us to spend some fun time together as a family (my husband works very long hours).
Oct 15th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
I love the Wii, it is great entertainment value that all the family can join in with. It is a good way to exercise and have great fun at the same tme. No age limit! Brilliant.
Oct 16th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
Wii are not a royal family
but wii certainly are amused….
cos our wii fit keeps us on our toes
and keeps our dog confused!
Oct 16th, 2009 at 6:35 pm
It fits our hectic lifestyle
on that we all agree
now with a little bit of effort
we’re a fitter family!
Oct 16th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
The thing I love most about the wii is….
It’s the most fun wii can have with our clothes on!
Oct 16th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
The family that plays together stays together
wii all agree on that
and it makes us laugh, it’s good clean fun
and it stops us getting fat!
Oct 18th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
fab fun for all the family …
from two to ninety-two ….
a wii fit for all!!
Oct 18th, 2009 at 10:31 pm

It can tailor games to my individual needs
Oct 24th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
It keeps me alert, young, fit and nifty
and not overwieght, listless and fifty
Oct 25th, 2009 at 10:59 am
it gives our family quality time together and also keeps us all fit
Oct 25th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Credit crunch has taken it’s toll,
Haven’t got the cash to ski,
But I can ski, and avoid lift queues,
Just by plugging in the Wii!
Oct 27th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
I love the fact my mum can put on her Wii and unwind especially since she’s a head of maths, runs her own needlecraft company and cares for my grandfather 24/7 because he has dementia.
If anyone deserves to be able to unwind with the Wii Fit Plus it’s her.
Oct 28th, 2009 at 8:54 am
so……tell us, tell us, who’s the winner?!
Oct 28th, 2009 at 10:54 am

While my baby gets some rest,
I can shed a few pounds on the wii
This solution is the best
As a flat stomach does not come for free!
