Harassed by Wii Fit
I love Wii Fit. I do it every day (rhythm boxing and advanced step) and I do the body test once a week. Since starting, I’ve gone from a Wii Fit age of 42 (that was an eye opener) to a Wii Fit age of 26 (younger than my actual age)!
While Mike also loves Wii Fit, he’s not quite as dedicated as I am and the little balance board has taken to asking me about Mike during my sessions. At first it just asked if I’ve seen Mike lately, but today it asked me to talk to Mike about his fitness routine and to bring it up nicely, by telling him he’s been “living large” and it’s time to Wii Fit.
These queries aren’t phasing Mike, but I’m scared of being belittled by the balance board (the boxing instructing telling me to come back tomorrow because I can do better is enough for me). I’d eventually like for the balance board not to say “ow” when I step on it.
So, has Wii Fit said anything funny to you? Has it shamed you into exercising? Harassed your significant other?

My friend Nikki has one and she occasionally tells me of its belittling attitude toward her. I don’t take to criticism very well, so it’s a good thing we’re a Playstation/XBOX family.

I sold my Wii Fit to my mom, but it always said “ooh” when I stepped on, which I took to mean “Ooh, you cow, that hurts!” Mom told me the other day that it’s started harassing her about me not using it.
Karen
Mine kept complaining of how long it had been since I last visited! LOL I sold that condescending piece of plastic. My big butt is very stubborn.

I have to admit, it’s been months since I’ve been on my WiiFIt board! When we turn on the Wii though, I see it on the screen saying it’s been way to long since I’ve visited! ugh!
cady
we haven’t gotten a wii fit yet, but we’ve been thinking about it. i think it’s hilarious that it can talk to you like that!
Sadie
I want one…

My daughter and her family have the wii fit. Her children put the image that they chose of their father on it. He got on it the one time and it said that he was obese! First, it kicked his butt. He was wore out. He only needs to lose 25-30 lbs, but he is 6’4″. He hasn’t been on it since. He likes the other wii games!

OMG – that’s hilarious it’s asking you about Mike!
I was seriously thinking of getting the Wii Fit, but I don’t know if I need any negative reinforcement in my life from a computer program

Finally got my son a Wii (a miracle all by itself) but not the Fit bundle. Sounds fun and interesting, though I think I’m with you when it comes to throwing questions out about “the other guy” LOL!

Wow Corrin! You’re doing very well with Wii Fit! I was thinking of getting the Wii system and the Wii Fit equipment, especially since I hate the heat and humidity of summer and don’t even like doing what I have to do in it. I take it the balance board and other Wii Fit equipment you need comes all together in a package then?

LadyGrace – It’s really a lot of fun, and the jabs are kind of motivating.

Laurie – I take criticism as a personal challenge so I think I’m going to show that little balance board who’s boss when he mouths off to me. Haha.

Jennifer – I take the little ohh the same way. It’s insulting!
Corrin

Karen – Haha. When I skip a day it always asks me if I was too busy to exercise. Little jerk.
Corrin

Lynne – It totally knows how to get the smart remarks in, but it’s working for me. I get on and exercise so it won’t be mean to me. Haha.

Cady – The Wii Fit is great! It’s amazing what that damn thing can say and do.

Sadie – If you have a Costco membership, they’ve had them pretty regularly for the last month or so, and they are cheaper than Target!

Barbara – My husband and I are both obese according to Wii Fit (and frankly, standard BMI charts). It’s just a shock to see a video game give you the honest truth!
Corrin
Twitter: CorrinRene
Sam – Well, the games are meant as exercise, so I guess you have to go in with that mentality. It’s totally fun, but it is supposed to be a challenge.

Owen – Oh yeah, it’s almost too human as far as it’s smart mouth and sarcastic tone. Haha.

Christina – It can be nice, too! It told me I did a great job yesterday.

Heather – It asks me about Mike every day, and Mike just tells me to tell it to mind its own business. Haha.

Diane – If you get the Wii Fit, you totally don’t need the bundle. All we bought was the balance board, and we can do all the exercises. The bundle is kind of a scam.
Corrin

Daria – I like that it keeps track of my BMI and exercise patterns. I’m also a total gadget junkie, so I appreciate the whole electronics aspect of getting my ass in shape. Haha.

Emily – Try Costco! They had a whole pallet of them the last three times I was in the store. If you don’t have a membership, you can get a one day guest pass!

Teena – It’s fantastic. Well worth the $80.

Joan – We bought the Wii game console this time last year and we just bought the Wii Fit balance board a few weeks ago. You don’t need any of the pricey bundles to do the exercises, and both the Wii game console and the Wii Fit comes with all the games most people associate with Wii. It was a good investment for us, entertainment and exercise all in one!

Corrin,
Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog. Memories are all we have, really. Thank goodness for memories.
We purchased the wii fit several months ago but haven’t really used it as regularly as we should. Has it helped you lose weight? I need to break that out. I haven’t felt shamed by it but I could see my husband throwing daggers at it with his eyes when his mii’s waist grew round!
