**UPDATE**
Congrats to the winner, Jennifer Jozwiak!
You know how when you work at something day after day, night after night, foregoing precious time with yourself family, just to reach that final goal you’ve set for yourself?
That’s how I feel about the opportunity I have to offer you the best giveaway known to mankind I’ve ever hosted. After years of slaving away at this laptop, building relationships, and making up stuff developing my voice, I’ve been given the chance to work with one of the most renowned companies in the world: Nintendo.
To be honest, I’m not much of a gamer. There are a few games I like to play, but in general, my idea of fun centers around inactivity in front of the TV rather than being actively engaged.
Until the Wii™ came along.
My inactivity levels were forced to decline. I had to actually get off my butt to play a video game. I really do remember the first time I saw a Wii™ and how to play a Wii™. I felt it would change the way home entertainment would be seen. Being active. Playing a video game. weird.
We were those people who searched and scoured and begged/pleaded/fought for a Wii after they were released onto the retail shelves. After literally months of waiting for our Wii™ system, we finally brought our baby it home and were immediately mesmerized. ACTION in FRONT of the TV.
And then? The Wii Fit™. Oh. My. Golly. Even MORE action in front of the TV? And playing fitness games will help me lose weight? (I swear the Wii™ gets more action than other things around here.) SOLD!
Just this past Fall, Nintendo released a new edition of Wii Fit™ called Wii Fit™ Plus. (P.S. I received a copy of the new Wii Fit™ Plus software in exchange for telling you about its awesomeness.) They’ve added to the core of the activities to make them better, more efficient, and more engaging. With tailored routines, you can plan your workout to make the most of your time. For someone like me, that’s incredibly motivating. That, and my girls pestering me to “play the board game!” every afternoon.
Here’s the reason you stopped by. (It’s ok, I know it’s not all about me. It’s about the free stuff.)
GIVEAWAY
Nintendo has given me a Wii™ system (MSRP $199) AND a Wii Fit™ Plus (MSRP $99) and I am going to give them away to one lucky winner.
I know. More than Awesome.
Nearly $300 worth of Awesome.
To enter, leave one (1) comment below letting me know what time in your day will be dedicated to getting fit with your new Wii Fit™ Plus.
Simple. Easy, peasy, chicken cheesy.
Entries will be open through Saturday April, 3rd, at 11:59pm EST. Only US residents 18 years of age and older are eligible to win. Nintendo employees are not eligible to win.
The winner will be selected at random using a random identifier selector to choose from eligible comments left for the duration of the giveaway. The winner will be notified via email by me and will have to confidentially provide their home address, telephone number, and email address. The prize will be shipped within 2 weeks.
This giveaway and blog post has been approved by Nintendo and is posted at the request of Nintendo and Brand About Town.
Disclosure: I received a Wii Fit™ Plus game in exchange for hosting this giveaway, as well as the Wii™ and the Wii Fit™ Plus game to give away.

I will probably dedicate my evenings to working out with the Wii Fit.
I really really want this great prize!
Looking forward to using it when i get out of work around 7 everyday
I’d use the Wii fit when I drive home from school, in the evenings.
Definitely in the morning right after I get the kids off to school. I read somewhere that women who exercise in the morning stick to it better, and it makes total sense. I’ll work out “as soon as I get done” doing whatever for whoever. So if I do it FIRST, I have less of a chance of getting derailed.
My evenings will be dedicated to using my new Wii Fit! Thanks!!
I would probably use the Wii fit after my husband leaves for work, we’d probably fight over using it when he’s home, so early morning hours.
I would use it in the daytime when the kids are at school.
I’d love to use this for my morning workout! Thanks for the contest.
Evening before supper will be set aside to exercise on my new Wii.
I would get up early, before I get my girls up for school, to work out. Thank you!
I will be using this in the evening when I get home.
I walk every morning for 45 minutes, but at my age I need more of a workout. I would use this to add to it also in the morning right after my walk. This would help me burn more calories and also use other muscles that I need to exercise.
I can’t possibly get up any earlier, so I’d have to fit my workout in after the kids go to bed.
5 AM is when I’ll meet up with my Wii and make it happen!
.-= blueviolet´s last blog ..Saturday Giveaway Parade 4/3 =-.
The family and I would do our workouts after dinner 3-5 times a week
in the evening, the whole family, before going to bed
In that short span of morningtime when my cat and I discuss the schedule for the day. I think that is when we can both WII together!!
Later at night when the children are in bed
Early in the morning before work
My first hour of the day, to get my metabolism in high gear!
Most of my workouts would be after work but on weekends I may like having them in the morning. Thanks for an awesome giveaway
I would use it in the evening after I get home from work
I’d do this everyday at 6:30 AM~
Early in the morning before I start work! Wii Fit makes fitness fun~

I will be working out on the Wii Fit during the day when my kids are at school so I can actually get something done lol! I know my son has wanted one of these forever, he would love to use it too!
6 to 7 am before the kids get up for school.
I would use it early in the morning before going to work
I’d use it after work.
At night after the kids go to sleep. Thanks!
I would be dedicating early afternoon to getting fit.
I would dedicate the very first part of the morning!
.-= Chrysa ´s last blog ..Free Sample of Flix Dental Care Sticks =-.
I usually go to the gym daily at 5 during the week and at 7 on the weekend…would do this around the same times at home…awesome!
I would use this daily in the mornings.
I would start early in the morning around 7 am. This would be wonderful to have.
I intend to use my Wii Fit as soon as I get up in the morning … a little exercise to get my day started right … then breakfast and a shower before work.
I would use at night before I go to bed.
I would use this during naptime! that’s about the only time I have to myself. Ideally, I’d also use it with the kids for a little extra fun and exercise!

After everyone is asleep at night.
I would use it at about 6pm, Perfect time for me!!!
I would use the Wii fit in the late morning. That’s when I feel fully energized and ready to work out. I sure could use one after the holidays.

I get up each morning and workout before showering and am looking for a way to spice up my routines. I would probably be more inclined to workout upon returning home from work if I had a gaming system to make it more fun. Thanks for the chance to finally have a Wii!!
As soon as I get home from work! It’s the best time for me. Thanks a ton for the giveaway
First thing in the morning is the best time for me to workout. I love the Wiifitplus and would love to win this for my mom
My 11 year old does not live in a “kid friendly” community and does not get as much exercise as she could. I’ve been wanting one of these for her for ages. She loves them and it would greatly benefit her activity level. Prevent her from being a couch potato!!
In the morning would be best for me. I am always to wore out after work to do much.
I would wake up in the morning and do it for 1 hour.
Every morning. I just got laid off and this will be a good way to jumpstart my day.
During the week I would be using my Wii and working out after work. But on the weekends – it could be anytime!
early morning works best for me, before the kids are up and need me.
The morning time before everyone else is up to jumpstart my day so between 6:30 am and 8 am thanks for the chance to win
I would like to use it after I get off of work at 2:30 in the afternoon, before getting dinner ready.
I would use it in the afternoons.. *crossing my fingers*
I play Wii sports every night with my grandson & believe me you work up a sweat. We could do this together also after bath & dinner. Thanks so much for this offer.
i would do it in the mornings after the kids go to school or my son would laugh at me
With Nintendo fit I would exercise just before dinner time. That’s when I usually am most physical and used to walk. This is something I could do safely indoors. Have tried the bowling at a friends house, loved the tennis but would really like to try the Yoga!
I wish Anissa the best.
Thanks.
i would love a wii and wii fit. i need to get in shape for the jersey shore, B***H
This would be an awesome win! I could use it in the early mornings to start my day to better health.
I will use this first thing in the morning, right before my shower.
I would use it late in the evening. I have more free time after seven.
afternoon or early evening
Early evening would be dedicated to it.
I would probably use it in the morning.
Since I already get up at 5:00 AM just to get ready for work, I would have to excercise at night after I get baby to bed (8:00)
I would use the Wii Fit Plus in the evenings.
My best time to use the Wii would be early in the morning.It would give me a jump start
on the day.Thank you for this beyond awesome contest
If I win this Wii, I will play it from 8:15 to 8:45pm nightly. We give Indy his insulin shot at 8pm, so as soon as he has his shot and everyone has dinner, that’s playtime!
.-= Auriette´s last blog ..Am I too critical? =-.
It’ll be early in the morning, probably 6 A.M. to get my workout over with.
I would use this between 2 and 3 pm before the kids get home from school.
Thanks for the great contest!

HI!!!!! OMG its 11:58PM here SATURDAY APRIL 3rd, IM GOING TO MAKE IT!!
Anyway, I basically live a healthy lifestyle, I LOVE healthy lifestyles, it just makes me more upbeat, and positive, strong, and happy.
I’ve been wanting to try the Wii Fit, but I can’t with my budget.
Usually I first work out in the morning for 8 minutes, If I had the Wii Fit I would definitley Workout 35 minutes in the afternoon then 15 minutes before going to bed, then drink like a bottle of water after the workout! It sounds like fun!
Oh Boy, cross my fingerzzz!!
-Sabrina
My workout time would be around 5 o’clock. After I come home from school, I’d go on the computer and be lazy. And when I’m supposed to be doing my homework, I’d go workout, not only to get fit, but to procrastinate as well.
right after work
Great offer.
I’d use it during family hour (they need a good laugh) after dinner.
wkp
Whenever I have free time.. which is a lot..
early morning, after school, late afternoon, before dinner, after dinner..
