The Wii Fit users may not be dropping the pounds, but if a recent Japanese poll by IT Media is anything to go by, a large percentage of users have already dropped something else... the game.

According to the recent poll, 64% of the 1,000 people polled no longer use the Wii Fit board since their initial purchase.

For what good it's worth, 22% of people apparently still use Wii Fit on a daily basis. So at least someone... somewhere... is dropping a few pounds using the thing.

Look, it's like Laylia said, most folks who start any kind of workout regimen usually fall short and burn out pretty quickly. Wii Fit is like the Wii itself in that it seemed cool at first (to some, not me), but quickly the fad dies.

Pretty much any sort of exercise is good for you, helps slim you down, but no matter how effective a tool is, it's useless if it's left unused. People need to change their mentality if they wish to see results--no pain, no gain, ya know?
