It's a good tool for my wife, who stays at home with a 3 yr old and a 9 month old and would not have chance to get out.

I do like the exercises, they are great if you just want a quick work out. I wish they had like little timed programs you could set up instead of having to stop and pick your next game.
Balance board is really sensitive and innovative, it'll be interesting to see what other games come out for that.
The best assessment would be body fat percent, but there is no good way for wiifit to measure that. There are some scales which attempt to using electrical current, but it only measures the content of the legs and is very susceptible to how full your bladder is.
To be honest I'm exercising more with my wii fit than anything else. Gyms bore me terribly. Although it is easyer to lose weight by not consuming those calories than by trying to burn it (takes something like 10 minutes of running to burn off 4 cookies).
I took the basic ideas of the Hacker's Diet and counted my calories and weighted myself every morning. I then did a 4 day weighted moving average of my weight (day to day variations can be up to 4 lbs). I crunched the numbers and found the calories needed to maintain my weight (2000 ish) and what I need to do from there.
I guess over all message is yes, it's fun but no you can't use it alone if you want definite results.
I haven't been on mine in a while, but I used it 30/45 minutes daily for about 2 months and lost 12-15 pounds. It's not worthless, but I would agree it's not the *best* method for obtaining fitness. It is more fun than working out, at times.
