    My Wii Fit Just Told Me I'm Obese... I want a Refund.

    I think I would have much prefered it if it told me I didn't need to diet or "your too skinny go eat a cheese burger."

    Oh well. At least it works and I'm looking forward to decreasing my BMI (which at this moment I don't remember what it told me it was.) I just stepped on it and it went DAYUUUUM.

    Now those of you who are following my daily misery may remember that my goal is to be able to run 2-4 miles by September because that is when my evil sister in law is getting married and lets face it... who has ever seen a fat runner? Today I jogged half a mile... not all at once but its a start right? I'm on my way to being one of those skinny beyotches I threaten to sit on and break like a twig.

    Enough blithering for one day. Have a great day or night everyone!!!

      I bought one right after xmas and have yet to do the weight on it. I know it's going to groan and tell me to get my arse off of it LOL

      I really wish they wouldn't allow kids to do the BMI or have something more accurate. I mean it has a disclaimer that it's not accurate for children but most kids don't listen to that. Freaked DD out when she got on and it said she was overweight. She's 9yrs old and only weighs 49lbs! I had to remind her it doesn't work for kids.

          I may have been tempted to throw it out in the yard. I know I'm obese. Just sayin'....

                Don't let us discourage you Sally. So far it seems to be a lot of fun and its all about you feel anyway right? Not about what someone or something tells you!

                  You're right. Was kidding and would love one really, but gotta save up... I've indulged too much so far this year. For the moment, my doggies will still have to be my main exercisers!

                    I really like the Wii Fit. It is definitely entertaining as well as good exercise for someone like me that hates exercise and is pretty much a beginner. Mine tells me I'm obese too, but I just give it the finger and keep going and I don't believe I'll ever get to the weight it says is my 'goal weight', but, it will be fun trying.

                        I got the Wii Fit Plus for christmas and have only been on it a couple of times. Today I found new games and was cracking up. One, you are a bird and have to flap your wings to fly then land on 'targets'...it's all about balance and control - man it was funny. Plus there was another that involved math - it took me 3-4 times to figure out what I was supposed to do...a little frustrating, but funny at the same time.

                        I was a little bummed today, it told me I was 66 - last time I was 24 - crazy!

                          Weight limit on it is 330 lbs which is the stupidest damn thing I've ever heard.

                            I love it. I've been on it a few times and the games to me dont seem like exercise. Oddly enouugh the next day i'm sore. To me soreness equates effectiveness. It feels like a game. I use it in conjunction with my regular exercise. For example today is my off day but I'm thinking I might just get on it and play.

                            I highly recommend it.
