I've been using the Wii Fit religiously for the last 12 days and at first my weight dropped a few pounds and then has been steadily increasing since then to about 2 or 3 pounds heavier than when I started. I'm wondering if I'm just gaining muscle? I do the yoga exercises every morning, then jog for 30 minutes, then I either do the strength training that's part of Wii Fit, or 20 minutes of Pilates (not part of Wii Fit). My diet has been a banana every morning for breakfast, tons of water, a sandwich with turkey, one slice of swiss, miracle whip and mustard and some sun chips. Then for dinner, we have something like Mahi Mahi and some veggies and a salad. Last night I made Quesadillas at home using flour tortillas and grilled chicken breast, onions, peppers and some cheese (a little!). Normally, without a vigorous workout routine, my body is really sensitive and I gain/lose weight really easily. I'm just wondering if this is a temporary weight gain before I start losing significantly?I'm working my ass off. Smile I really work up a sweat and am sore the next day sometimes. So why is it not at least SLOWLY dropping off? I'm 25, 5'7 and I'm around 179 lbs. I know, I know... I'm trying!Nickel, I'm not "depending" upon the video game to help me lose weight. But I am using it and working out vigorously. As I said above, I am also jogging and doing pilates. I will say that the Wii Fit has really helped with with flexibility. I feel that my posture and balance has really improved and I have a general "good" feeling.

Do not depend on a video game to help you loose weight.

12 days isn't enough time for you to be worried about it. Sounds like you are doing everything right, make sure that you are taking a multi-vit as well.Keep up what your doing and stop weighing yourself for 2 weeks....more then likely you are gaining muscle which weighs more then fat cells.

I'm not so sure if the Mahi Mahi and quesadilla is too healthy, check out the ingredients and nutrition facts, if it is healthy then I would assume that gained weight is from muscle.
