i measure myself every week using its scales and when it tells you your bmi and weight it comes up with the table of 'underweight' 'ideal' 'overweight' & 'obese' EXAMPLE ( http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/wiifit_bmi.jpg ) however, when i measure myself it doesnt say 'obese' as the highest...

it says 'underweight' 'ideal' 'at risk overweight' & 'overweight'

why does it do this, was it because i was 17 last week, and now im 18 itll count me as an adult and change the screen..?

weird..on the wii I found out I lost 2 stone! :D

    i think it depends where you are on the scale :) my grandmas shows the obese part because she's obese, but mine doesn't because i'm at the bottom of the 'risk of overweight' section. :)

    My Wii shows me being obese. (of course at this point I cannot disagree). My 7 y/o is a lean and solid, it shows her being overweight. It may factor age into its results and how it returns them.
