  Wow. I’ve always wanted a Wii. Pick me, Pick me!

  Anyway, my wife and I recently had twins (in addition to our 4 year old). It’s increasingly harder and harder to get to the gym. My wife has taken to giving up her lunch hour to work out.

  Having a Wii and Wii Fit would give her (and me) the incentive to work out at home as much as we are able too. Plus, it might get her into video games, which I’ve been trying to do for years.

  P.S. Rachelle, found you from Chicagoist. Love your blog.

• 2 Erin // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:36 am

  Because my new Animal Crossing addiction just isn’t enough, I think I should definitely take the leap and completely “wii-ify” my whole life.

• 3 James // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:38 am

  My doctor told me to get some exercise.

  I’m trying to find a way to convince my wife to let a video game console into my house.

  Two birds with one stone!

  WOULD LOVE TO HAVE!!!
  MY WORK OUT DAYS ARE BORING AND NEED SOMETHING TO INTEREST ME THIS LONG SNOWY WINTER HERE IN MAINE

• 5 sarah madia // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:44 am

  Hey Rachelle! This is Sarah from back in the day. I had to be the first to comment. I love the wii so much! I’m a nerd to the core.

  I had a wii on lone for several months from my brother who was going to leave it at my house indefinitely. He waited until I went to portland on vacation and use the garage code to get into my house and reclaim the wii. arghh…. by then I had already bought guitar hero and was looking to get a wii fit. Yes, I am a guitar hero!

  So this giveaway is fabulous! I could get my workout and gaming fix at once. Hope you are doing great! Sarah

• 6 Olivia Leigh // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:51 am

  I love Wii. At the party, I discovered just how fit the Wii Fit can get you. As you know, I now live in Pilsen, aka, the great south, where things like gyms are in short supply. And now that I work at home, I often spend the entire day cooped up, so a Wii Fit could be very helpful in ensuring I don’t become enormous this winter.

• 7 Jess // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:00 am

  I would love to win a Wii to complete my Oprah moment!

• 8 rune // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:04 am

  Bugga iam from Denmark…..

• 9 Meg // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:24 am

  I’ve played Wii Fit on my sister’s Wii before– like you, my balance is atrocious! If nothing else the laughs I had while failing some of the tests were sure to have some health benefit!

  This giveaway is so neat!

• 10 jason // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:26 am

  I would love a Wii
  So much I wrote this haiku
  This is the last line

• 11 Huzefa // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:31 am

  I would love to not have to not leave the house to get some exercise.

• 12 Killian // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:52 am

  I would use a Wii Fit to completely drive my downstairs neighbor crazy!

• 13 Sarah Meharg // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:01 am

  I think my downstairs neighbor would hear me and demand i let her play the wii! but we all learned sharing is good…

• 14 Jon // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:03 am

  My mom really want’s a wii fit!

• 15 Sean // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:04 am

  I’d give it to the wife, not because she is not fit, but because she asked for one.

• 16 Kimberly // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:15 am

  I love playing the Wii - and the Wii Fit is everything I’ve ever wanted in a video game. Can you imagine my delight when I can do yoga in my own living room and know that I’m doing it correctly?

  The new year is soon and this little baby will surely help me start out with a BANG on the those fitness resolutions!

• 17 Richard // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:24 am

  From the official rules (yes, I actually read them): “Immediate family members… are not eligible.”

  D’oh!

  Kind of funny how everyone is stating their case for the Wii and you said that you’re just going to pick the winner randomly.

• 18 alden // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:29 am

  i think you should stop this silly contest and just give it to me already. you can drop it off whenever. thanks!

• 19 Jake // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:33 am

  I could use something to shed the ‘post-wedding 15′ that I’ve packed on since Sept.

• 20 marcus // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:48 am

  i would use it to get my blood flowing every morning before i take to the web and post on Chicago’s favorite blog, the same blog Rachelle B helped start. I have to carry the torch!

• 21 Aaron Bailey // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:58 am

  I want a Wii Fit because the last week, I walked up theater stairs to find my seat. Behind me was a 90 year old man who was just as out of breath as I was. Sad sad sad.

• 22 Sara and Cam // Dec 1, 2008 at 12:16 pm

  I would love a Wii fit!!! I have twins and I have no time to excercise!!!

• 23 Sara and Cam // Dec 1, 2008 at 12:21 pm

  Oh yeah, Cam would like a Wii fit too!!!

• 24 tina b // Dec 1, 2008 at 12:51 pm

  oh i’d love it! and i’m sure my son would have a blast too!

• 25 Jessica // Dec 1, 2008 at 12:52 pm

  Wii…who mii…yes pliise!

  Now, I really wish I lived closer to you….looks like you guys had a blast!

• 26 Caroline // Dec 1, 2008 at 1:15 pm

  So, I live directly across the street from work. And it gets dark so fast I never really walk anywhere any more. Maybe Wii Fit would keep me from becoming a TLC obese person television show!

  You’ll be seeing more comments from me, don’t worry.

• 27 Caroline // Dec 1, 2008 at 1:20 pm

  Hey Random Number Generator,
  I know a really sexy Random Letter Generator that would really like to get to know you better. You pick one of my comments and I’ll totally hook you up.

• 28 Kiley // Dec 1, 2008 at 1:31 pm

  I would love to win a wii - and if it could motivate me a little to get off my rear and have some fun - then I am all for it.

• 29 Sean // Dec 1, 2008 at 1:37 pm

  wiiiiiiiii! I just played some wii tennis yesterday, it was fun!

• 30 Kurt // Dec 1, 2008 at 1:54 pm

  I’ve been looking to buy a Wii Fit for myself and my fiance for a while. Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Looking to bring my Wii age down to a respectable level.

• 31 Richard K. Liu // Dec 1, 2008 at 1:55 pm

  I’ve had fun playing with the Wii in the past and the FIT is fun as well. Maybe it’s just me, but when the system gives a little “oh!” when I get on the fit, I find it…. “motivating”.

• 32 Krusty // Dec 1, 2008 at 2:11 pm

  My children are slovenly and prone to long stretches of inertia dangerously coupled with excessive Dolly Madison product consumption. Please save them from their own 700 lb. man reality show!!! Save us Wii!!!

  … and you know that we’re unable to stop having more children and as a result couldn’t possibly afford to buy our own.

• 33 Kiley // Dec 1, 2008 at 2:29 pm

  I would love to win a wii - I believe it would be better than sitting, playing ps2.

• 34 Kiley // Dec 1, 2008 at 2:32 pm

  I would also like to win something in my life - I have no luck. It would be lucky to win something that could add years to my life.

• 35 Kashoan // Dec 1, 2008 at 2:33 pm

  We would love to win a Wii! Our family could stand to lose a few lbs!

• 36 Eric // Dec 1, 2008 at 2:50 pm

  Doubling my chances!

• 37 Kashoan // Dec 1, 2008 at 2:51 pm

  Doubling chances are always good!

• 38 Patrick // Dec 1, 2008 at 2:53 pm

  I think it would be interesting to use it in conjunction with a gym because of its status tracking abilities.

• 39 Korby // Dec 1, 2008 at 2:55 pm

  WOW! A free Wii would be excellent!

• 40 Laura Castetter // Dec 1, 2008 at 2:55 pm

  Oh, pick me. I actually think I would give it to my mother. She’s been sick for a long time and gained a lot of weight. So exercise would be great for her but she is embarrased and wouldnt’ go to a gym. So I think this would be a wonderful gift for her.

• 41 James // Dec 1, 2008 at 2:56 pm

• 42 Kalen // Dec 1, 2008 at 2:59 pm

  I would love to get this to use right now during the winter. Its to cold to be outside and my pants are getting to small.

• 43 Billy // Dec 1, 2008 at 3:11 pm

  I wanna Wii! Ging does too but she won’t let me spend money! Woohoo!

• 44 Eric Marcus // Dec 1, 2008 at 3:38 pm

  We don’t have cable and we have two kids. It’s not so easy to do anything fun anymore! We would love a Wii!

• 45 Hermin // Dec 1, 2008 at 3:57 pm

  In certain situations, I’ve been known to Wii like crazy!

• 46 Tim // Dec 1, 2008 at 3:58 pm

  Just had shoulder surgery and have used this briefly as part of the physical therapy program. Would be great to have one!

• 47 Charles // Dec 1, 2008 at 3:59 pm

  if i won the wii, i would never leave the house again. i would promise to take this wii as my lawfully wiied wii. it would be me and wii, in wiickness and in health, till wii do us wii. or something like that.

• 48 Steve Ruggiero // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:03 pm

  If I only had a Wii, a Wii, a Wiiiii (daydream starts here)….
  Hey, I can incorporate a WII system into my life by having my wife and I take turns competing against our 3 kids (ages 10,8, and 6). That would assist in satisfying the boys desire to play video games as well as give them even more exercise than they already get in their active lives. The bonus is a family time event that is also exercise for everyone.
  The weather outside is frightful, but a Wii is so delightful. Santa, please grant me a Wii system.

• 49 Chris M. // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:04 pm

  I just know the Wii could change my life. I look forward to winning it.

• 50 David Bratton // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:05 pm

  Hello Rachelle,

  I am a friend of Dallas, can I please win the WII?
  

  Thanks,
  David

• 51 Raul Perez // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:07 pm

  Does Dallas carress all his gifts that way or does the Wii hold a special place in his heart?

• 52 David Bratton // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:07 pm

  Hello Rachelle,

  Me again. I adopted to orphans a few months ago (Nicholas and Alexandra) we are to poor to afford a WII, can we please win?

  Thanks,
  David

• 53 Ken U // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:08 pm

  Yo, I need to win this. I have to boys, 6 and 3. They’re sick of playing with rocks, sticks and dirt from our backyard. Their Dad (Me) is too cheap to buy them a WII. Please pick my comment number. hahahaa…

• 54 David Bratton // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:08 pm

  Hello Rachelle,

  I have been battling a weight issue my whole life and I really believe this product could save my life. My life rests in your hands.

  Sincerely David

• 55 David Bratton // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:10 pm

  OK, last post. I am training for the Chicago Marathon this year and I believe the WII can provide me with the support and tool which would allow me to fullfill my dream of completing a marathon.

  David

• 56 Hermin // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:10 pm

  Look, I can’t even spell the product name. WE????

  If I had one of these, I could read the box and learn how to spell it!!!

  Pick me!!!

• 57 Jill // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:10 pm

  Wii with Wii fit will mean a healthier and hopefully a wee bit smaller jilly.

• 58 Raul Perez // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:12 pm

  all my friends at work would be jealous if i won. i love being on the right side of envy.

• 59 Raul Perez // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:13 pm

  actually, we would probably create a new gym at work so that everyone could use the Wii.

• 60 kelly // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:14 pm

  I would like to see Jeff jamming out on the WII.

• 61 Connie // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:17 pm

  I can’t go to the gym to work out because I am a single mom to a toddler and I work full time. This could sure help me get through times of stress when I can’t just go outside and get in a quick run like I could back in the pre-baby days. Thanks!

• 62 EricaJoy // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:18 pm

  I’ve heard the Wii Fit might tell me things I don’t want to hear in very cheery tones. However, that won’t stop me from leaving a comment in hopes that I get one.

• 63 Caroline K // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:24 pm

  ooh ooh pick me, pick me!

  Please Mrs Santa Claus?!

• 64 Olivia Leigh // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:26 pm

  I still want one! I still think it would make me svelte.

• 65 Rochelle // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:27 pm

  Oh, enter me please! I’d love to win the Wii and Wii Fit to help get back in shape after I have my baby (due in January!).

  

• 66 Robert // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:28 pm

  Would love to have Wii Fit. After borrowing a Wii from some friends of ours, my wife and I found ourselves up all night playing Wii Sports. The best part was waking up to scattered furniture and sore arms from the intense battles we endured. If we could get the heart rate up like this from tennis and bowling, I would love to see what we could accomplish with Wii Fit!

• 67 Caryn Bailey // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:29 pm

  I would love to win a Wii…I’ve had such a hard time getting to the gym to get rid of the excess baby weight and I think it would give me great motivation to actually have a way to exercise in my house with my son there.

• 68 Katie C. // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:34 pm

  I need a Wii! I am a teacher who wants to be “hip” and in the know with her students. Help me talk the Wii language with my class and stay fit at the same time!

• 69 smussyolay // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:36 pm

  first post (we can have more than one, right?) — i played ‘tennis’ for the first time this summer and it was AWESOME. in a good/bad way. it was really fun, but i have to say that i KNEW i was going to be sore the next day. and i was. that’s lame to be sore from a video game, but so be it!

• 70 smussyolay // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:37 pm

  2. i suffer from SAD and fibromyalgia. my whole life i have had one remedy for these things that i have never been able to do — exercise. this sounds like a perfect solution to my exercise ‘problem.’

• 71 Robert // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:38 pm

  By the way…Dallas Rocks!

• 72 smussyolay // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:38 pm

  3. it’s winter. nuff said.

• 73 janelle // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:39 pm

  if i had a wii, i would move our TV so that it is aligned along the longest axis of our apartment and then i am going to wii bowl every day after work. laundry might not get done and it will probably mess up by real-life bowling game (sorry tien!) but hey.

• 74 smussyolay // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:40 pm

  4. i just got reprimanded by a website. (you are posting comments too quickly. slow down.) don’t hurt my feelings, wordpress.

  anyway, 4. i love to host parties and this would make a welcome addition to my hospitality filled home.

• 75 smussyolay // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:40 pm

  5. exercising sucks. unless i can trick myself into having it be a competitive thing. then, nothing can slow me down. NOTHING, i say!

• 76 smussyolay // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:41 pm

  and lastly …. i need/want to lose about 40 pounds. please help me help myself.

  YAY WII!

• 77 Benjy // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:42 pm

  Winning a Wii would let us get back at our thumping upstairs neighbors!

• 78 Amy Robertson // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:42 pm

  Hi Rachelle,

  I already have a Wii, but would LOVE a Wii Fit - they are so hard to find !! I would donate the Wii to a less fortunate soul who doesn’t yet own one.

  P.S. My mother’s maiden name is Bowden if that means anything ! :0)

• 79 Colleen // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:43 pm

  Thanks for the chance to win, Rachelle! I would love a Wii and Wii Fit and would try not to hurt myself using it in my small apartment (or anger the downstairs neighbors). I think it would be a great way to get some exercise when I’m not motivated to take the T to the gym.

• 80 Steven Ehrlich // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:47 pm

  OK, this is cool, but seriously scary. Not sure if I want to know my Wii fit age. I am probably 104.

• 81 Kari // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:49 pm

  Think it could get my butt in shape for hiking in New Zealand by Christmas!? Despite the gym being 3 blocks away a Wii fit in the living room would mean I don’t have to put snow boots on!

  Hope you had a happy Tday! Ps. love your blog photos! I checked them out a few weeks ago.

• 82 neil // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:49 pm

  while my wife would argue that we don’t need another “gadget” the truth is that she knows this is so much more.

  with two kids and one income, we can’t afford a gym yet alone have enough time to goto one.

  plus with the winter months upon us - little Jonas needs someway to get his exercise!

• 83 Keithia Kirkaldy // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:53 pm

  Oh wow!!! That is soooo amazing. I would love to have a Wii!!!!! We have 2 children and that would be awesome for all of us. I would so use the wii fit. need to loose 30-50 pounds…doctor’s orders and even though I’ve been working out by walking outside, can’t always get there if I don’t have someone to watch the kids…Pick me Pick me, We would so put it to good use. It would be the answer to my prayers for christmas……Best of Luck to whomever you pick…..Thanks Dallas for including us. -K.

• 84 Andy // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:56 pm

  What a Wii would bring me?

  It would be a Wiionderful Winter playworld in my home!!

  Why i’d love a Wii!

• 85 Cj // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:56 pm

  hi..I dont know you guys but would i count :)..

  I just came across your page checking out a Friend Request…I bought mu lil brother a Wii and I want one for myself now and always wanted a Wii Fit..Why not play and exercise too

• 86 Mike W // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:57 pm

  Wow! How fantastic! I would love to see if Wii Fit could finally entice me into getting off my butt and exercising……

• 87 Cory // Dec 1, 2008 at 4:57 pm

  Sit down and exercise with the Wii? This seriously beats doing 5 miles a day on the treadmill.

• 88 Steven Ehrlich // Dec 1, 2008 at 5:01 pm

  Maybe we would ALL get a Wii just like at Rachelle’s? I know, crazy talk.

• 89 corinne // Dec 1, 2008 at 5:07 pm

  i love wii.

• 90 Mike Fourcher // Dec 1, 2008 at 5:10 pm

  A Wii and Wii Fit would go great into my blobbish, car-driving lifestyle. It would convert me from sedentary to active, with just the flip of a switch!

• 91 Greg Shea // Dec 1, 2008 at 5:12 pm

  And just the other day I was in a Gamestop searching for a present for my niece and did a double-take that they had them in stock. They’ve been so hard to get for so long that I don’t even bother looking. Needless to say, I’d like to enter. Brilliant viral marketing campaign by Nintendo, by the way.

• 92 eleanor // Dec 1, 2008 at 5:18 pm

  if i win, i will buy a tv!

• 93 Ellen // Dec 1, 2008 at 5:24 pm

  You need to pick me because I will be attending a wii party next week and I have to win!

  I’m also terribly out of shape. The day after I played wii tennis for the first time my arm hurt. A lot. It felt like I pulled something! So I need to get wii fit!!!

  Last, if I win, I will host parties of my own

• 94 masako // Dec 1, 2008 at 5:25 pm

  i had my first wii experience just the other day! i must say that i think i am a ski jump prodigy.

• 95 Todd // Dec 1, 2008 at 5:32 pm

  Sounds like a fun party. Funny to watch WII play a role in fitness. I have used Traineo.com for over a year to track workouts. They have a long list of activities that you can track and they actually added one for the WII so you can track calories burned playing the WII.

• 96 Hermin // Dec 1, 2008 at 5:34 pm

  I need the Wii ! I am still stuck using an old first gen xbox!!! HELP!!!

• 97 Amanda // Dec 1, 2008 at 5:50 pm

  I am in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy and could use a Wii Fit to help shed these extra pounds once the baby comes! Thanks for the giveaway!

• 98 Sara and Cam // Dec 1, 2008 at 6:00 pm

  We, We, We want a Wii!!!

• 99 Kiley // Dec 1, 2008 at 6:47 pm

  I have noticed that some of my jeans are getting tighter. Mabey a wii could help me get in these jeans again

• 100 Abby // Dec 1, 2008 at 6:48 pm

  My fiance is the most competitive naturally athletic person I know. With a Wii I could actually beat him for once!!! (and maybe forever!)

• 101 Kathleen Luman // Dec 1, 2008 at 6:51 pm

  All I do is work and come home in sit. This would be perfect for entertainment and get me up and moving.

• 102 Tweaka // Dec 1, 2008 at 6:51 pm

  I put on weight after my son. I can’t seem to loose it. I feel that a Wii would help not only me but also my family get fit.

• 103 Kathy Russell // Dec 1, 2008 at 6:52 pm

  I have the Wii fit board, but didn’t realize that you need the console!! My doc suggested getting this, but the console is too expensive for me. All I have is a gamecube and that sure doesn’t help.

• 104 Linda Short // Dec 1, 2008 at 6:53 pm

  I used to walk alot but my Dear Mother-in-Law lives with us now and due to her health, I can’t leave her alone. I gladly do this because she is wonderful, but I would and could use the Wii and Wii Fit to exercise at home and still not have to leave her alone.

• 105 Rita Sheppard // Dec 1, 2008 at 6:56 pm

  I would use the Wii Fit to lose some much needed weight. My routine needs something new and more variety.

• 106 chandra olson // Dec 1, 2008 at 7:05 pm

  Don’t listen to Eric - pick me!

  After seeing kweb’s loot, hearing about the flickering candle and yoga exercises and pawing her new Wii Fit zip up…I was insanely jealous and seriously disappointed we were not roommates.

  Happy Holidays. I really hope Santa/the Wii fairy are good to me this year. Just one good year is all I’m askin’ for…

  Thanks to Dallas for forwarding.

• 107 Devyn // Dec 1, 2008 at 7:13 pm

  Weeeeee! Er… Wii!
  Or Wow!!!

  I would love a chance at getting my own Wii and Wii Fit! I have thus far remained under the Wii Radar…. But, funny enough, after getting addicted to Wii Bowling at my local pub I have been thinking how nice it would be to have my own. Besides, after quitting smoking a couple of years back, I could use something fun to help with those few extra pounds.

  Thanks for putting this out there Rachelle!!!

• 108 christopher h // Dec 1, 2008 at 7:15 pm

  love to use this to lose some weight

• 109 Kendra // Dec 1, 2008 at 7:20 pm

  thnx for the opp! a great health benefit for the adults of the house–not all for the kids !

• 110 ky2here // Dec 1, 2008 at 7:32 pm

  I would make this part of my morning routine so I can start the day properly.

• 111 Joanne Schultz // Dec 1, 2008 at 7:32 pm

  ooh what a great prize. As I’ve just recently joined the ranks of the unemployed, I’d love to have the Wii and WiiFit to help me get some exercise and get into shape!

• 112 Margaret Smith // Dec 1, 2008 at 7:35 pm

  Thank you so much for this wonderful giveaway. I’d really love to win the wii fit to help get my husband, kids and I in better shape. I really need to loose weight and so does my hubby. My kids spend too much time in front of the tv and this would be a great way to get them and the whole family more active, while having fun. Thanks so much for offering this giveaway!

• 113 MRS.MOMMYY // Dec 1, 2008 at 7:36 pm

  yes great prize, really its hard getting to the gym, and working out with the kids and being a good example you could do this on..have not heard of anyone dying when working out yet on a wii fit

• 114 Janice Whitaker // Dec 1, 2008 at 7:41 pm

  Treadmills bore me. I think I could stick to excercise with this!

• 115 Nora Scott-Platt // Dec 1, 2008 at 7:50 pm

  I think it would be great to stimulate my mind and get me more exercise in the process.

• 116 Sandra // Dec 1, 2008 at 7:52 pm

  Still have “baby weight” and my son is 2 yrs old! Looking for something fun to motivate me and I know the Wii and WiiFit definately would.

• 117 Karen T, // Dec 1, 2008 at 7:56 pm

  Thanks for a chance to win a wii fit. This would be a god send too me . I have RA and this would be good exercise along with fun for me.

• 118 Frank Gruber // Dec 1, 2008 at 7:58 pm

  I would use a Wii Fit to do a daily workout routine and of course I would also play other sports on the Wii!

  Maybe I will get lucky.

• 119 Laura L // Dec 1, 2008 at 8:00 pm

  Our nearest gym is 17 miles away from my house one way. I would use this to incorporate exercise into my daily routine as I need to lose weight for my health. Thanks for the chance.

• 120 Alden Johnson // Dec 1, 2008 at 8:04 pm

  This is the kind of exercise I could do and enjoy

• 121 Teresa C // Dec 1, 2008 at 8:04 pm

  I would love to use the Wii fit with my kids to get some exercise. They already think it’s funny that I get so physical with the sports games.

• 122 Danielle // Dec 1, 2008 at 8:14 pm

  As a busy grad student who gains weight with stress, this is a great way to get out of the gym + fit in fun & stimulating exercise throughout the day!

• 123 Beverley Justice // Dec 1, 2008 at 8:16 pm

  The Wii fit would let me exercise this winter when it is bad outside.

• 124 patricia skinner // Dec 1, 2008 at 8:23 pm

  I am battling MS and a wii fit would really help me exercise at a slow pace. I have been hearing how fun the wii is.

• 125 Patty Hasbargen // Dec 1, 2008 at 8:24 pm

  Wil be needed after the Holidays.

• 126 Carrie // Dec 1, 2008 at 8:26 pm

  Anything that will keep my husband motivated to stay in shape, I figure a video game would do it. Plus it is something we can do together.

• 127 cathy miller // Dec 1, 2008 at 8:26 pm

  I would love to win this wii and wii fit, this would help me get my excercise in the winter and would be so much appreciated Thanks for the chance

• 128 Jonathan // Dec 1, 2008 at 8:31 pm

  Rachelle! Joe Nathan is laughing over here. Looks like you all had an awesome time. I remember when we had the Wii at FeedBurner, it was astounding. I want to bring a Wii Fit into ThoughtWorks to pick us up after the afternoon lull. Or maybe have daily standups, but the person needs to balance while playing wii fit while talking. Ridiculous…

• 129 Sara and Cam // Dec 1, 2008 at 8:36 pm

  Pick us #124 We would love a Wii and a Wii fit!!!

• 130 Renee G // Dec 1, 2008 at 8:45 pm

  I want a Wii fit so bad I can taste it. My sister has one and has lost 20 pounds since last Christmas. I’ve played hers a couple of times and it is so fun. However, every time I check the stores near me there are none in stock. I want to be able to practice the balance bit until I can find my inner grace (it may take a while)

• 131 Jordan // Dec 1, 2008 at 8:52 pm

  I currently have a ps3 and always wanted a wii. The main reason i want a wii is to play tiger woods golf. Because it rains so much in seattle, i only get to play a handful of times a year. Tiger Woods on the ps3 is ok, but playing on the Wii, i will be able to practice my swing and putting mechanics like it was real life. that way, when the weather is nice, my golf game will be where i want it. golf is not a game that you can just pick up and expect to do well. practice, practice, practice.

• 132 Louis // Dec 1, 2008 at 8:55 pm

  Wow, what an amazing turnout in the comment section. I was unaware you had so many friends.

  If I won I could get in shape, and I could fit into jeans I can’t wear anymore, and I would be able to save money, and then I could donate money to a prominent research institution, who would then cure cancer, and I would do the talk show circuit to show off how I lost all that weight and cured cancer.

  Rachelle, you essentially hold the keys to my fame and fortune. Don’t worry, I won’t forget you. I hereby promise a shout out on Conan when my plan comes to fruition.

• 133 Leann S // Dec 1, 2008 at 8:59 pm

  This would be something wonderful to do inside when it is 110 here in the summer.

• 134 MARY HOFMANN // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:00 pm

  I sit in front of the computer every day for 8-9 hours and I would like to be able to come home and do about 15-20 minutes of this each night especially since it is so cold in Michigan to go for a walk. Thank you so much for the opportunity!

• 135 sarah madia // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:02 pm

  I love mii - I mean wii!

  I’m such a fan. This is a year old - i’m old skool wii groupie!

• 136 Sue // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:10 pm

  My husband turns 40 on the 21st and it would serve the purpose of being a game (to relive his childhood) and help him get some exercise.

• 137 Rob // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:11 pm

  If I had a Wii I’d be able to see what all the kids are up to these days. Video game-wise. I’m fairly clueless. I wonder if I could ditch my gym membership.

• 138 Jessica // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:17 pm

  I want one, I want one!

  I also enjoy your site : )

• 139 Jessica // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:18 pm

  Another try…

• 140 Jessica // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:20 pm

  I promise I will use it everyday–it looks like fun. please pick my number, oh random number generator.

• 141 Mhirra // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:26 pm

  I would use Wii Fit in addition to my current fitness plan. I’m down about 35 lbs and I think adding something interactive yet entertaining to my plan will continue to push me to lose another 40 to get to my baby fit weight!

• 142 Nadine L // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:30 pm

  I have been walking 4 miles a day for over a year for exercise. But with winter coming, the days I am able to walk are very limited now. A Wii Fit would keep me moving over these long winter months and be fun, therefore keeping me interested. Thanks for the chance at a great prize.

• 143 Daniel // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:39 pm

  I would give it to my sister and brother and law for Christmas. That or I’d just play old zelda games on it. Is that wrong?

• 144 Sheila Fiske // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:48 pm

  My kids and I would have a ball doing this together. They would have fun and I would hopefully lose weight. Thank-you!

• 145 CK // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:50 pm

  I’ve had my eye on Wii Fit for a long time. This could be just the opportunity I’ve been looking for! I think some Wii Fit Yoga would make a great addition to my current elliptical workout regimen!

• 146 corinne // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:51 pm

  with the wii by my side, i can end world hunger.

• 147 Laura // Dec 1, 2008 at 9:52 pm

  Hey rachelle…I’m not gonna lie….I’d become obsessed, lose my job and my desire to rub the Cowboys’ losses in Dallas’ face…if i win it. But i’m willing to take the risk! sign me up!

• 148 Sue // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:01 pm

  My 5 year old son and I could have a great time with the Wii. We could turn off some of the cartoons and have some fun with the Wii.

• 149 Jill L // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:02 pm

  I would love to win this for me and my family. I believe that we would enjoy playing the games and it would fit in some extra exercise on the cold winter days when we can’t get outside.

• 150 TMO // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:06 pm

  I’d use one to help me lose recently gained weight from a hunting trip I’m on as well as to help train for the Triathlon in March in Miami!
  No Wammies!

• 151 Kiley // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:09 pm

  I could improve my health by playing with a wii rather than watching Boston Legal

• 152 Donna Yamamoto // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:11 pm

  Wow, this is such a great gift and opportunity! Sounds like that Wii night was loads of fun and the pictures prove it! I would love the Wii Fit. My bf and I are planning to start getting into shape and I’m sure the Wii Fit would be a fun way to do it. Thanks for the chance to win something so cool! Happy Holidays!

• 153 joan // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:12 pm

  I really need a fun way to exercise on these cold winter days,this would really do the trick

• 154 Kiley // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:15 pm

  Wii Wii Wii Wii Wii Wii

• 155 R Hicks // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:17 pm

  Wii fit is great motivator and fun!

• 156 Wanda // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:18 pm

  I would use the Wii and Wii Fit every day, I really need to exercise more and lose weight but i’m lazy ,I think this will help me be more inspired to get up and just do it !

• 157 Molly // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:19 pm

  My husband and I are looking for new ways to stay active during the cold winter months. We both would use the Wii Fit on a regular basis, likely in the morning, and I love the idea of a Wii party! Definitely a reason to get the girlfriends together. Thanks!

• 158 Chris // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:23 pm

  I would give it to my brother in law…..who am I kidding? No I wouldn’t. I would let him play it though.

• 159 Dan // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:25 pm

  I like wii!

• 160 Judith V // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:29 pm

  Wii for the family that what we need

• 161 Dan // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:32 pm

  Do you want me to write the algorithm for the random number generator?

• 162 Douglas // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:32 pm

  My college-age daughter shares an apartment with five other girls. Man, I would be the coolest dad ever if I could deliver this!

• 163 Dan // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:33 pm

  …also, i’m currently unemployed and can sell the wii on ebay to help feed my dog.

• 164 Erin // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:35 pm

  Maybe with a Wii Fit I will re-open Lose The Buddha and write about it …

• 165 Stefani // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:36 pm

  I am interested in the wii.

• 166 Justin Ward // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:39 pm

  See, I’m fat…so I definitely need a Wii Fit. I’M FAT.

• 167 Justin Ward // Dec 1, 2008 at 10:40 pm

  So because I’m so fat, I’ll definitely be trying to get this Wii so I can bowl my way into perfect fitness. Wii Fit would be cool. I also like random number generators.

• 168 Sherri G. // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:02 pm

  I love all of the Wii games and have wanted this since the day I heard about it. Thanks for the chance to possibly win it!!

• 169 oona b // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:03 pm

  Living in Oregon, everyone hibernates in the wintertime. A Wii would help my family work off all the Christmas cookies and lasagna we tend to tuck into during the long, dark winter months. The neighbors could all come over and our Miis could compete. It would be good fun!

• 170 Lorri S // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:13 pm

  I’ve seen so many commercials with the different fitness games and it looks fun. Exercising can be a real bore at times. I hate trying to find the exact time the gym is open to get there to work out! This would help tremendously and would be fun doing it

• 171 Angela J. // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:21 pm

  A wii is a dream come true for me, I need to get healthier and this is the best way to do it!!!

• 172 Angela J. // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:22 pm

  Definitely the coolest thing ever would be to have a wii and wii fit. I wrote to santa that i wanted one - but just in case, I am hoping to be the one picked! I need better health!

• 173 Angela J. // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:23 pm

  What a great thing - a wii! I can get fit but in a fun way. I need to lose some weight for my health’s sake!

• 174 Angela J. // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:24 pm

  Maybe I can win if I really picture the Wii in my head!!! LOL - I need to exercise and I want it to be fun=Wii!!!

• 175 Patty Genova // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:25 pm

  I would try to use this at least 3 times a week.

  I would do this because I dont like to exercise but my doctor says I need to.

  I would try and convince my husband to join me because he has high blood pressure and high cholestrol and sits at a desk all day long and I really need to get him moving. My young kids are worried for their father that he needs to get moving to improve his health.

  We just played this at a relatives house on Thanksgiving and my husband and i played and we liked it very much.

  We both could benefit from this greatly. Thanks for the chance!

• 176 Kayce C. // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:39 pm

  I’d use the Wii Fit as my exercise for days I don’t go to the gym.

• 177 Darcy // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:39 pm

  I would love this —I’m too shy to work out in a gym–and I recently moved and had too leave behind my precious exercise bike/ rower —now I live somewhere that the weather often does not allow me to exercise outside.

• 178 Joe // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:45 pm

  I have battled thyroid cancer but with the onset of rheumatoiod arthritis and th e major other issues with my healtth it is hard to exercise ( throw in asthma , high blood pressure and much more) I have gone from 315 lbs down to as low as 175 lbs, yes that took a ton of time, i now weigh just under 200 lbs and I weill need to maintain that weight but and my knees are no longer able to help me do regular weight bearing endurance exercise, the wii fit can get my heart rate up fast and that would mean iI can get the cardio I need and still take it easier on my joints.

• 179 Julianne B // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:54 pm

  As the mom of 8 kids (six of them biologically), I am finding it increasingly difficult to find time to exercise for the sake of my health and energy. I think Wii Fit is a way to get my entire family to jump on the exercise wagon. “Get off the Clone Wars game, it is Mommy’s turn to use the Wii…Princess Padme said so!”

• 180 Julie Terry // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:56 pm

  The Wii fit is the only that I have asked for this Christmas. I have actually been asking for it for months now, since it first came out. I am overweight, and need a fun way to get in shape. Several people have said that they Wii fit would be perfect for me, after they tried it for themselves. I tell you those people at Nintendo are some smart cookies, they are very in tune to what people need.

• 181 daniel // Dec 1, 2008 at 11:58 pm

  i need the workout

• 182 Jerry Lung // Dec 2, 2008 at 12:00 am

  I was browsing through the web looking for a contest just like this. I have two boys ages 8 and 12. we recently lost everything we own in a house fire. my sons lost a nintendo 64 in the fire and we were not able to replace it. my 8 year old has been wanting a wii but i could never afford it. winning this contest would be a very special christmas gift for him. by choosing my comment as your winner,you would bring so much joy to an 8 year old boy who has only seen bad luck and dissapointment in the last few months. thanks.

• 183 Karissa // Dec 2, 2008 at 12:02 am

  I would incorporate this by doing Wii instead of watching bad TV, there isn’t anything on on mondays and tuesdays, and well wedensdays. I love to workout on saturdays and sundays too. I have never been able to to Yoga at home for the balance part and I think the board would be perfect to help! thanks for the chance!

• 184 Pam Morse // Dec 2, 2008 at 12:03 am

  I really could use the exercise and cannot think of a better way to do it. Have fun and lose weight at the same time, sounds good to me!

• 185 Karen Everrett // Dec 2, 2008 at 12:04 am

  I’ve lost 24 pounds so far with my only real exercise being a Wii Fit. This has motivated my sister to want to try it and winning this would be a great gift for her!

• 186 Lisa // Dec 2, 2008 at 12:06 am

  We would LOVE a Wii Fit. Both my husband and I were going to buy one with our Football Pool winnings, but no one wanted to play for money this year so no Wii Fit for us….yet.

• 187 carol mring // Dec 2, 2008 at 12:07 am

  I HAVE BEEN HOPING TO WIN THIS SET. I AM ON OXYGEN AND I AM SUPPOSE TO EXERCISE MODERATELY AT LEAST THREE TIMES A WEEK, I ALSO NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT. I AM 242, THIS WOULD GO GREAT I CAN GO AS SLOW AS I NEED TO. AND YET HAVE THIS EXTRA MOTIVATION I REALLY NEED. PLEASE PICK ME!!! THANK YOU

• 188 Autumn H. // Dec 2, 2008 at 12:09 am

  i’d love to get this because we don’t have the money for a gym membership nor do i have the time to exercise a lot each day (i have a busy 3 year old) - i am getting married in 6 months, so this would be a great way to get fit!

  autumn398 (at) yahoo.com

• 189 nicole schellhas // Dec 2, 2008 at 12:11 am

• 190 joni // Dec 2, 2008 at 12:12 am

• 191 Kathleen Lewis // Dec 2, 2008 at 12:19 am

  I’ve seen a Wii fit in action and it looks like something I would enjoy doing for fun and exercise.

• 192 Lori Downs // Dec 2, 2008 at 12:46 am

  I was just diagnosed with Lupus, and they say to do yogo, wii fit will help me do that without the embarressing class. and i can do it when i dont have the flare ups!

• 193 DANIEL REOME // Dec 2, 2008 at 12:53 am

• 194 Lindsay // Dec 2, 2008 at 12:54 am

  My husband is leaving for Afghanistan on January first, which it the best day to start dieting and working out. I’d love to go to the gym but I have a small child, so this would really help out on those days I can’t leave the house.

• 195 Cj // Dec 2, 2008 at 12:58 am

• 196 Marcia // Dec 2, 2008 at 12:58 am

• 197 Stephen Saunders // Dec 2, 2008 at 1:00 am

  You know I think this is exactly what I need to help me work off the pounds… I’d love this.

• 198 Angela J. // Dec 2, 2008 at 1:06 am

  Oh to be healthy and the Wii - what a perfect way to help me do it!!

• 199 Angela J. // Dec 2, 2008 at 1:07 am

  I would so love to be that random number - I want a Wii more than words can say!! Its all about health, fitness and fun!!

• 200 Carol B // Dec 2, 2008 at 1:12 am

  Wii Fit can help get everyone in our family in shape…including the cat because I am sure he’ll try to play with us while we are getting into shape.
  p.s. I also want Wii Fit so I can do the snow boarding….

• 201 Brenda // Dec 2, 2008 at 1:19 am

  I watched an elderly lady on local news station using the wi fit, said she really enjoyed getting some exercise this way, thought that could work for me a little fun while your getting fit, cause i’m sure not doing it any other way, thanks for a great givaway and good luck to all of you

• 202 Marilyn Wons // Dec 2, 2008 at 1:29 am

  I so want a wii. I would use it to play the baseball games plus so many other sport games!

• 203 Christina G. // Dec 2, 2008 at 1:47 am

  Ideally, I would use it to exercise daily!

• 204 Sierra Martin // Dec 2, 2008 at 1:58 am

  I played the Wii Fit at a friends house. It makes excersize fun!!! I think that’s the best part.

• 205 Sadie Carey // Dec 2, 2008 at 2:09 am

  I have a teenage daughter that I want to get this for so bad. She spends an inordinate time indoors, so this would be so great for her to get moving too.

• 206 chuy // Dec 2, 2008 at 2:11 am

  The way we stay active using the Wii now is to play boxing but since I always lose to my 3rd grade daughter, I’d rather we have a Fit to spare the embarrassment.

• 207 Monica Bauer // Dec 2, 2008 at 2:20 am

  Wii Fit would be a great addion to my morning routine. Coffee and work out at the same time. Works for me.

• 208 Gary // Dec 2, 2008 at 2:24 am

  My therapist told me that the Wii Fit would be a great therapy to help with my balance & gait in rehabilitation after my stroke.

• 209 D. Johnson // Dec 2, 2008 at 2:31 am

  My problem with exercise is that I get bored easily… the wii fit looks like its fun and with so many options I am sure to not get bored. I am really out of shape right now and with the cold weather I am housebound so I could really use this!

• 210 Gay T // Dec 2, 2008 at 2:36 am

  My kids love their Wii. I’d love this for them to get more exercise.

• 211 redtwinkle // Dec 2, 2008 at 2:37 am

  I would really enjoy playing the Wii Fit at my house. I played it several times at SIL and found out how out of shape I am. I’ve quit smoking and lost a lot of weight but I need to shed the last 32lbs to have really turned my life around. Could you help?? Thanks so much for the giveaway, I would have loved being at your party, sounds like fun.

• 212 Eva // Dec 2, 2008 at 2:38 am

• 213 Katherine Keller // Dec 2, 2008 at 2:41 am

  The pounds keep finding me no matter how hard I try to hide… and I’d definately be using the Wii Fit daily to keep from buying another bigger size in clothes!

• 214 Belinda // Dec 2, 2008 at 3:09 am

  I would use this for exercise.
  Thanks!

• 215 Belinda Shaw // Dec 2, 2008 at 3:10 am

  The Wii Fit would be a great way to lose weight and I wouldn’t have to look embarrasing at the gym!

• 216 Dree // Dec 2, 2008 at 3:30 am

  I would use this everyday in the morning. I have been wanting one since they came out.

• 217 Barry // Dec 2, 2008 at 3:50 am

• 218 stacy // Dec 2, 2008 at 3:53 am

  I would love a Wii. I have friends who have them and love them. I don’t have time to go to a gym and this would be a great way to work out and have fun doing it. Its something the whole family can do and laugh and have a blast doing so…whats better than working out without dreading it….its something to look forward to!
  Thanks!

• 219 Bill // Dec 2, 2008 at 4:10 am

  WiiFit would be perfect for me to supplement weightlifting for it’s cardovascular benefits.

• 220 Scott Bergman // Dec 2, 2008 at 4:52 am

  I would incorporate it into my nightly routine, instead of watching t.v. programs, it would be time for a video game workout. I am especially excited about the yoga training.

• 221 Burt Neblo // Dec 2, 2008 at 4:59 am

  Wii Fit is the next generation in fitness,which,is something that my 11 year old daughter needs to learn a thing or two about.I could incorporate it into her life and she wouldn’t even realize the benefit amidst all the fun she would be having.

• 222 David Bertolo // Dec 2, 2008 at 5:00 am

  I would incorporate it into my daily exercise routine.

• 223 debi welbon // Dec 2, 2008 at 5:05 am

  I am just using the treadmill right now trying to lose weight, but I hear the wii fit can have you doing a total body work out too and I would love to try it!

• 224 Kelly // Dec 2, 2008 at 5:09 am

  I have been wanting a Wii because of how interactive it is, then Wii Fit came out. A Wii fit would give my daughters, all three of them, and I a chance to do something good for our bodies, together. I struggle with my weight during the winter, every year. If I had a Wii fit I would use it to get in shape this winter, and stay in shape. My daughters would also use it to help them feel good all winter long. I even think I could get my husband to work out during the day since he is a video game addict. It wouldn’t seem so much like working out it if he had a Wii fit to use. I see Wii fit becoming a daily routine for all of us, a routine we would have fun incorporating into our lives.

• 225 Sydney M // Dec 2, 2008 at 5:19 am

  My son has been asking for a Wii forever and the WiiFit would sure help me get and remain healthy. My balance is abysmal. Perhaps with 2 glasses of sangria it might be better. Please give me the chance to try that out!!

• 226 Elizabeth Oerther // Dec 2, 2008 at 5:20 am

  I would love to have a Wii. I think that Wii fit could really help me to lose some weight and feel better about myself. Thanks for having the contest!

• 227 Sylvia Belle // Dec 2, 2008 at 5:23 am

  I would like to own the Wii so my grandchildren could work out with me at home because they are too young to go to the gym.

• 228 Diane // Dec 2, 2008 at 5:23 am

  I would love a Wii so I can lose 10 more pounds to reach my ultimate goal of 150 pound
