Wii Depression

[zurgswife]

Just set up my Mii, so I can start working out tomorrow. My Wii body stats are very very depressing. I'm 5'6" tall and weigh about 178...my BMI came to 28.89 on the wii with an estimated age of 60....hello that is 15+ years older then I am.

I guess I just got my but kicked by a machine and I haven't even started working out yet.....6am....my butt is out of bed tomorrow.....

Sounds like my Mii, lol!

Mine is worse, I'm 5'2" and I weighed in at 176. It wasn't a pretty site.

Ladies, ladies, ladies. Not to worry, I have you both beat. My little 5'3" Mii is r-o-t-u-n-d. A lot like these smilies! But, once you get going, your wii age will drop, trust me. I'm 55 and, despite my, er, roundness, my wii fit age today was 33. I still get perturbed when the thing goes, "oh" when I get on. And the day that I go from obese to just overweight, you'll here me holler all the way from southwestern Ontario!

I don't have a Wii Fit, but I sometimes like to play the soccer head game on DSis' ... usually I use one of her DD's files, who are 14 and 17 and super skinny ... I get on and the Wii comes back with "your weight is a little different than the last time you were on" Yeah Ya think little machine! Oh well, kind of fun to mess with it once in a while!

I'm just not sure I wouldn't get frustrated with all that button pushing between activities. I guess maybe when you get the hang of it, it's fine. So haven't bought one just yet.

I did the fitness test on our Wii Play the past 2 days ... 78 and 70. Ummm, I'm 43.

You sound just like me. I recently dropped from obese to overweight and you probably could hear my hollering from across the border AND three time zones! You've never heard someone so happy to be overweight!

I stopped worrying about my wi fit age after a few weeks. To this day it usually fluctuates by about 15 years, depending on which tests it gives me. I'm 35 and can get as low as 29 but if it makes me do the walk in place test, I'm an instant great-grandpa!

I thought I was being very honest with myself in making my Mii look just like me (I even named him Mini Mii) and was offended when he ballooned up after weighing in for the first time. "Hey...HEY!" I remember shouting as he kept getting bigger and bigger. That stupid wrist strap was the only thing saving me from having to buy a new TV!

Another rotund Mii here. I was really sad to see it ballon up like it did. I've been having fun with the different games and activities. I have a few I'm just no good at. There's one that I have a 0 score even though I've done it a few times. I can't get the dot into the blue zone....... It is almost discouraging.

Well, you just depressed me.

I am 5'4" and weigh the same. I need to be taller!
Plus I am older then you so....the thing would make me older and fatter.

So let me know how this works. I don't have a Wii so I don't have the Wii fit either (LOL!) I will have to stick to just knowing I am old and out of shape!

 

[KATHINOWA]

You've given me the confidence to set up my mii on the Wii. My kids did it the other day but I was waiting until I was alone. I'll let you know how I did but I know it won't be pretty.

ETA: I just love the way the cute little voice says OBESE!

 

[terrypoohbear]

Haha ...you guys are all so funny!!! I totally understand though!! My Mii is so short and "stout" that I think it is just rolling around on the screen. I should have just removed my legs! (I would probably get somewhere faster! ) And I thought I was the only one who looks like this: Glad to see there are more...
I will be also glad to see overweight and not obese. I am 5'3 and weigh in at 185...Yuck!!!

 

[r3ngels]

I can relate...

I love when it asks how heavy are you clothes... I am wearing hardly anything and I wish I could have said my clothes weigh 20 lbs Yeah... I am exercising with 8 winter coats on

 

[lisah0711]

I figure things can only get better for me and my little round Mii . . .

 

[LuvBaloo]

I find it amusing when doing the weigh in and they start my poor Mii out looking ridiculously skinny and then she balloons out. I too will be so excited to go from Obese to Overweight.

The age thing is a judgement of your skill in the game. I was 35 when we got the WiiFit and my first age was 57 . The first few times I did it, the thing came down and now it bounces from 18 to 40. I find it amusing how they drop the age down, especially when it takes too long and my Mii starts tapping her foot.

Uh oh...I'm in trouble. I think I'll get it started soon as I get back from WDW. We leave this Thursday. I think I need a Wii aka so when I play the other games I look different.

 

[Debbie]

Remember that 33 from yesterday? Today I am 50. Still better than my real age, but . . . that's the weigh the wii works!

 

[zurgswife]

Ok...Debbie feeling better. I actually worked out on my wii for the first time in 120days...LOL...did pretty good

 

[mouseketeer70]

don't let that mii age discourage you. my whole family made miis, including my 6 year old daughter (who is not overweight, who takes dance, gymnastics, and horseback riding lessons) and it gave her age as 28 After that we couldn't help but laugh at our little people. the important thing is to keep with it and have fun! Good luck!

 

[Dancind]

I.. I get on and the Wii comes back with "your weight is a little different than the last time you were on"

This happened when my cat decided to sit on it yesterday. Made me laugh.

Mine was awful the first time too, the Wii Fit age I mean. But once I figured out what I needed to do to keep the bars in the right place, I did much better. You will too!

 

[KATHINOWA]

My Wii age fluctuates 5 years almost every day. Yesterday I was 5 years younger than I am today I'm 4 years older.

Does anyone do WW? What do you use for your Wii Fit workouts? I've been using yoga (even though I go through the whole system). I do it for about 40 minutes but input 30 minutes due to waiting time. What do you think?

 

[zurgswife]

Ok today for some reason I was my exact age...I feel better
