    My Wii Me was "plump/fat" after a weigh-in before, I'm pleased to say my virtual spare tyre has gotten smaller - as has my real one! My Wii Fit age has been anything from 15 years younger than I am to 20 years older (yes the younger days cheered me up and the older ones made me want to launch the damn thing out the window!)

    Mine would say "Oh!" everytime I stepped on it like I was hurting it or something..... :frown:
    Mine does that too!
    Don't worry it does that for everyone (at least I think it must, because it did it to my 29 pound 2 year old).

    I get even by telling it that NO, in fact I DO NOT want a fitness tip. And it sulks. And I feel a teensy bit better out of spite.

    I've been anywhere from 22 to 66 (I'm actually 44) - it just depends on how well I balance and pay attention to the directions for the test...

    I dream of the day my mii jumps up and down and claps rather than looking down as it blows up into a balloon and boldly declares "that's overweight!"

    I spend most of my time with dancing or party games, so it's probably been 1-2 years since I used the actually Wii Fit Plus game (do use the board for other games though). I do remember laughing my @$$ off when I did the assessment and it made my Mii look like Snoopy's brother Olaf (see image below). Now that I've lost 15% BW, I need to run it again to see whether my Mii gets noticeably skinnier.

    I don't know how accurate that thing is. It guessed that I 27 when I was 33 (I'm 35 now). I don't use the Wii for fitness...my son uses it to stream cartoons on Netflix. I just do my own workouts or I use a couple workout vids from Jillian Michael or some of the fitness stuff I have on the Xbox 360.

    I'm thinking Wii Fit's age estimates are based more on our balance (strength in our legs, core, etc.) and other extraneous factors. I'm freakin' fat (286 lbs currently...and that's AFTER I lost 100+) but I also still have a lot of muscle (former athlete...never really stopped lifting weights even when I had gained so much weight) so perhaps that explains my "youthful" balance (read: strength) and the Wii's resulting inaccurate age designation.

    Anyway, don't pay too much attention to a mass-produced gaming system to diagnose you...just use it as a tool for fun exercise.

    Good luck! :)

    My wife's Wii Fit gives me a wide range. The last time I stepped on it though it said my age was 21 (I'm 34). I now refuse to step on it ever again, because that makes it true forever.

    I have not been on my wii fit in a long time, but it used to grunt everytime I stepped on to weigh! How is that supposed to make me feel better!

    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love the Wii Fit stuff. When I did mine...I was 28 years old at the time...and it gave me a fat unhappy avatar and said I was 44. Boy did that motivate me to get my big butt in gear...although it seems to have the opposite affect on most people.

    hahaaha oh I'm absolutley howling!!!!

    I too refuse that fitness tip just to make the wii feel MY pain at it crying "oh" at me !!!!

    My scale on it seems to be a bit dodgy so I tend to only follow that as a guide!!

    last week I gained 7lbs in 1week and then the following day I'd lost 10lb ....hmmmmmm :huh:

    Haha! I agree! However, after a couple of weeks of adjusting to the games and how it measures and scores everything, I am usually around -8 or 9 years. My Mii keeps checking out her butt to see if it's shrinking. It cracks me up. SOMEDAY it will tell me I'm a healthy weight. However, that may be a while b/c I'm not really a typical body type and I really do have "big bones."

    LOL, you're all cracking me up.

    I guess I'll pass on buying that thing... I have enough self-esteem issues as it is:tongue:
