I love it when someone else tries to set a goal for me
Sunday, March 22, 2009 at 6:25PM Unbeknownst to me, my fantastic hubby has been searching for the elusive Wii Fit since, like, before Christmas. He finally found one that didn't require selling an organ to buy (although, I pointed out, he has TWO kidneys) and it arrived this week.
Despite the fact that it told him he is OBESE (he's not), hubby instantly dumped Maya the Fitness Coach for the Wii Fit. Because it's younger. And easier.
I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Anyway, the Wii Fit told me I was OBESE as well. I'm not. It also told me I should lose ten more pounds than I planned on losing. Um, the last time I weighed that little was in high school. And that was probably because I spent all my money on coffee and pot. I couldn't afford food.
Despite it's bad math skills, the Fit is pretty fun. I must be in good shape by now though because I don't find it to be much of a workout. So, even though she didn't help me lose any weight this week, I'll stick with Maya when I need a challenge.
At least until I can afford to dump her too replace her with a real human trainer.
(I hope she doesn't eat herself fat with all the rejection).
(Yes I do)

Ooh, careful. I hear Maya can be a real bitch when she feels neglected..

I've heard Wii Fit tells EVERYONE they're obese.

Coffee and pot, huh.. in high school? Ahead of your time! And one word on not breaking a sweat yet.. try the BOXING with someone you have a beef with (or are related to.) My sister and I went at each other and I injured a shoulder.

Wii Fit can kiss my ass. The Hubband thought going out & buying it for me ONE WEEK after Roo was born was a loving, motivational gesture. And so it sits, in the closet, mocking me every time I reach in for a jacket. Just what a hormonal, recently pregnant woman needs: Wii Fit telling you that you are obese.

Welcome to the dark side...wait, I guess it's not so dark! ;) Once you unlock the advanced levels it'll feel more like a workout - especially if you're competitive like me and are trying to beat your high scores...like on hula hoops, boxing and step dancing... ;) You can also add weights to really enhance it too, if you want. I'm still looking at getting a Maya of my own, though, to really add to my workouts! ;)

Hey, I'm obese too! I've been ignoring my Wii fit (bad girl) and I agree, a lot of the things are really easy. I want to give Maya a try, but afraid Hubby will freak as he spent part of a kidney to get mine!

The great thing is that I do not need a game, machine or any other device to tell me I am a cow. I have already realized that on my own. If I knew for sure the toddler would let me play in peace, I may get one. But I realy can't stand sharing with 2 year olds. I have been over that for like 32 years now. I'll just sit here and stick to giving my fingers a workout. Blog style!

Well, all the cool kids are doing it...aren't you so relieved not be left out of all those insanely entertaining Wii Fit conversations? Now you can Hula Hoop...for your life.

Maybe that's a good plan....screw all this healthy eating and exercise. Let's go back to the 'coffee and pot' diet.

I love this wii fit lady! She's all the talk around the net these days (I have yet to meet her but maybe someday).

I think I might be the last person on earth who doesn't own a Wii. At least I actually played it for the first time this weekend.
Good luck with the new trainer.

We love our Wii Fit. The beginning levels are not much of a workout, you need to unlock the higher levels. The top hula hoop level even tires out my 9 year old (and nothing tires her). Enjoy, it is a lot of fun!

My Fit doesn't tell me I'm fat, it tells me I'm old and mocks my tears when I fall to the floor clutching my knees.

I don't think it's as great of a workout as I had envisioned before trying it but at least it's fun and you're kinda getting a workout. Try advance hula hooping a few times in a row and tell me how you feel. Oh, and the island run... I run through the living room and kitchen and do loops around the house. Congrats on the new purchase!

I think the Wii Fit is totally overrated! I get much more agitated and cardiovascularly challenged playing Wii tennis. I can't sit down and play that game. I have to run around like a fool as if I'm really on the court... I think you should break-up with Wii Fit, stat!

jesus christ I had to scroll down for like two years to leave you a comment, then the comment disappeared so now I have to leave another one.
as I was saying (in my deleted comment) it's easy to call someone obese when you are a slim hunk of plastic. maybe someone should call the wii fit fat so it knows how it feels.
i said some other clever things and now i forget them.

i've heard good things about this wii fit.
but if maya was working, why change? were you getting bored with her? was she getting older and bitchy and griping about how much time you were out with your friends drinking beer?

Maya? Who is this Maya we all speak of. And the Wii Fit is gonna hate me tonight when I finally get back on after a very looong hiatus.

I just started wii-fitting again and it told me that it had been a long time. No kidding, that's why I had gained some weight huh?! It makes for a quick workout though when I only have an hour between work and picking up the little one.
