Answers:
Jess is right, it's because you're not overweight.
It's also because you're still growing, and won't stop completely until you're about 21, and particularly for young women, your weight will fluctuate a lot because of your menstrual cycle.
It's still keeping you fit so the results you're gonna see will be cardiovascular, you'll feel better, able to run further, etc.
Anyone who says Wii fit is not beneficial obviously hasn't stuck at it.Health Question & Answer

While it's good to move around like that, a Wii is not a be-all for exercise. To lose weight, you have to do the work. With a Wii, there is no resistance to the body, so no real energy or calories are used up.

Play a round of Wii tennis, then try the real thing. Bet'cha the real thing is going to feel quite a bit different.

Not that a Wii is a bad thing, say on a rainy crappy day, but try weight training if you want to stay inside because it's ten below outside.Health Question & Answer

That's not very good cardio. If you really want to get fit, I recommend joining the gym or going for a run instead of stretching in front of your Wii.
In addition, if your weight is already healthy it's more difficult to lose weight. For example, if you weight 130, it takes a lot longer to burn calories (and by extension lose weight) than if you weighed 160.Health Question & Answer

you probably just arent eating as healthy as you think you are.
try drinking a lot of water and making sure you exercise at least three times a week for half an hour.

I don't mean it in a offensive way, but some people don't lose weight that fast. There's nothing wrong with what your doing, in fact I think its a great way to lose weight, any way if you're old enough to take those weight losing pills go ahead. I just think you should be happy with your body if it doesn't want to change.Health Question & Answer

The wii fit has lots of strength training exercises on it so I'm sure that you have gained some muscle doing that, which weighs more than fat. Don't worry about the number on the scale just make sure that you eat healthy and get exercise each day.

Hope this helps:)Health Question & Answer

Pounds are just numbers. Is your body changing in size.? Getting smaller.? Fat turns to muscle and muscle is heavier. So you could be burning calories and turning fat to muscle and still yet get heavier, BUT, get smaller and more toned.Health Question & Answer
