Someone is after mah man! **UPDATED**

by Miss Britt on February 6, 2009

Dear Wii Fit,

I did not take it personally when you said I was slightly overweight. I admit, I was impressed that you could weigh me so accurately.

I did not get mad when you stopped mid push up to announce that I had taken a break. I mean I had, after all, rolled over on my side to die.

I was a good sport, I think. I didn’t cuss you out for inflating my Mii (the cartoon replica of me) to scale or call the personal trainer names or blame you for the nagging inner ear issue I developed immediately after finishing your yoga exercises.

No. Not at all.

I respected and even appreciated what you were trying to do for me.

And then

You met

My husband.

And you?

Are clearly a home wrecking tramp.

32? 32?!?! Really?!? You calculated his fitness age at 32- and mine at 65?!?

Sixty fucking five???

Yeah. Right. He’s 30 years more fit than me. You dirty, dirty whore.

I should have bought a playstation.

UPDATE:

This morning you said I was 24. Really, Wii Fit? Really? You expect me to believe that I lost 40 years in my sleep? Correction – 40 years and 1.5 lbs?

This is obviously part of your plan to distract me from your devious nature.

I’m on to you.

(I will, however, only be using you in the morning from now on. I mean. You know. Just in case.)

    I exercise mainly because I feel bad for my chubby Mii.

    I did a post about the WiiFit talking smack about my husband: http://awholelotofnothing.net/weekly-winners-111-117-wiifit-talkin-smack-edition/

    Why I will not be getting a WiiFit. I have enough self-esteem issues without a freaking computer program telling me I’m obese.

    @Little Miss Sunshine State, actually, I was impressed with how realistic the “normal” range was! I already KNEW I was a teeny bit overweight. :-)

    The guy trainer, we call him “Greg”, is much nicer. And if he hits on your man at least you will know that your man won’t respond since he doesn’t swing that way. Right?

    Well, in the Wii’s defense, Jared *does* look like cradle-robber material.

    And don’t feel bad…if it calculated MY “fitness” age, it’d probably come out older than yours (I am horribly out of shape…like, seriously, I get winded just walking up 5 individual stair steps…okay, maybe not *that* bad, but I’m still pretty unhealthy).

    you should have broken it out of the box while i was there. it might have made you feel MUCH better to have the machine draw its little image of me.

    i had to laugh when you described the rolling over to die mid push up. once, when i tried abs of steel, the bitch on my television told me i should start to feel a little burn. i hollered, “bitch, call the fire department!”

    I was morally offended when the dirty skankbag inflated my character like a Macy’s Thanksgiving parade balloon too. But the I was vindicated when hubby, who is extremely fit and 5 years younger than me scored a WAY higher fit age than me. I’ll admit it, I did a little dance. Ok, judging by the size of my Mii it was probably more of a truffle shuffle, but still…

    Hi Miss Britt!
    I’m a fellow Uptake blogger and just found you. This is hysterical. My niece and her husband got a Wii and had us all over for dinner over the holidays. Everybody tried it – each of us standing at the front of the room while everyone sat on the huge L-shaped sofa behind and watched. I can just imagine the view they got of my big butt gyrating as I tried to do the slalom and the ski jump. I just hope no one was video-ing it. Great blog!

    My wife and I have a WiiFit, and admittedly, it does tend to favor me :) Then again, it does bitch at me because I don’t get on it every day like she does.

    As a side note, the “Fit Age” is not based on your weight at all, it only bases it on the results of the two balance tests it does after you weigh in – that’s why your age can vary so widely from day to day if one day it gives you two tests you suck horribly at, then the next gives you two tests you can pass w/ flying colors.

    Eh, i tried Wii Fit when my little cousin got it for Christmas, i got minus 1 years for the whole ‘Centre of Gravity’ bit, but plus 20 years if i did the ‘balancing on one leg’ version.
    So, the moral of the story? Whenever i take a foot off the ground, i gain 21 years?

    Screw it, i’m just gonna spend the whole time on the internet & not bother with the whole feet:year ratio! :D

    As far as how accurate it is, it was spot on for my mom and every other adult in the house, but because I’m under 20 something (I forget the actual age cut off?), my results are hilariously skewed. it had me as nearly morbidly obese… lollll

    on the other hand it’s wicked fun.

    Just had to leave a comment. I tried the Wii fit at a friends house last weekend and it hurt to laugh the next day. But out of the three of us that did it I’m the oldest and it calculated my age as the youngest.

    And it’s funny that you weigh after brushing your teeth and before the shower. I do the exact same thing
