An embarrassing look at the Wii Fit

Nah, just a few ounces. I recorded it all using a Flip Mino camera.

Nice to “meet” you too. Yeah the Wii Fit is okay but it’s no real workout unless you consciously make it a workout with an insane regimen of mini games.

Don’t forget that weight fluxuates within a few pounds from day to day, especially if you are overweight. This is due to water weight and all that crazy stuff. The best way to tell if you are losing or gaining weight is check your weight weekly or bi-weekly, or if the game tracks it every day, look at the general trend over that period of time.

Hehe That was a riot. liked the 64 reference.
Kinda reminds me of my first week with my new shiny metal DDR pad, I gained around 1.5 lbs but according to my dietician at the time, I was building muscle… which weighs more than fat so I should see the difference the week after. I was doubtful and depressed but they were right. The following week I was down by 7lbs. /flex!

Also make sure you weigh yourself at the same time every day and at the same point in your daily routine.
If you weighed yourself one week just after getting up in the morning and taking a poo, then the next week weighed yourself after getting up and eating breakfast and NOT after taking a poo, then yeah… there will be some difference of course.

Lol this is a joke. I don’t know about you, but I like sitting on my ass when I play games.

what is with the wallowing all over it at the beginning? wow, no wonder obama got elected…..sheeple!

the thing is stupid. my niece is 9, has abs of steel from soccer and karate and weighs 52lbs. it called her obese. my sister is a little pudgy and will nottt even step on the thing. she siad “i like my self esteem the way it is thank you very much”lol.

That was hilarious! I love how people are giving you serious advice and encouragement. Clearly by the N64 reference in the beginning you weren’t being entirely serous about the whole thing. I bought mine for the yoga. I thought being instructed on how to contort my body into impossible and quite uncomfortable poses by a cheesy cartoon character would be less humiliating than the oh so zen people in the DVD’s that make it look like child’s play…. not so much.

Well if you eat more, you gain weight…
I had the same thing initially.
Calculate your calories intake and compare it to your calories “output”. You should obviously have a net minus.
After I calculated those, I realized that it’s much more time efficient to just eat less (instead of working out 2-3 hours a day).
Using my Wii Fit, I lost 10 kg (22 lbs) in 3 monhts. You can do it, too!

ted, as noted in my comment above, the opening scene was a tribute to N64 boy (search YouTube for it); when I actually first opened it, I assure you my reaction was rather stoic until I remembered N64 boy, smiled, and had the idea for this video.

@ just a guy

Wow, I completely missed that. Which makes me go wow even more.

SKIDWORTH. YOU ARE INDEED NEAT.

I thought it was hilarious! I saw myself in it several times: I also nearly wallowed on it when it arrived (I tracked the shipment of the thing for two days before receiving it) and I also cuss at it faor calling me “overweight” every morning at 6 AM. Screw that board, why does he think I bought the darn wii fit? However, I LOVE the wiif it! I do yoga first (my abs are sore, but it’s worth it!), followed by some strength training and end with a 30 minute free run. The first week I gained 1.5 lbs but if you stick with it, you will find that you were gaining muscle under that fat. When you eventually lose the fat (and you will if you do the exercise programs) you will be surprised.

Anyway, to sum up: the vid was hilarious and I love my wii fit!
