well, my GF is like 45 kilos max. and she will be laughing at me hard and tell me she was right and that i need to lose weight.

and all my friends will see it, as they want to try the game.

and just for all you evil lurkers, I am about 100 Kilos at 190 cm (6 feet, 2 inches)


100 kilos at 190 cm sounds good to me.


Ha THANK YOU! Now please tell that to my GF and that unfeeling evil white measuring board. Seriously, I am having nightmares. And I suspect the two joined forces to make me feel fat.

Ignoring the majority of comments here, im ashamed youre even considering BMI to be any accurate indication of your fitness. Shame.

From what I read, the game is configured to NOT show your weight - exactly for embarrassment factor. You can however, twiddle the settings so it does. I intend to do this, so I can hold my wife to "ransom" - I can also check the daily results to see when she hasn't done her exercises during a day.

Its going to be a GREAT blackmailing tool :)

We might even have a bet to see who has the higher BMI to start with - it should be pretty close.

 Precisely.

I wonder how many of us will be blackmailing our wives with this game.

well put, lol. canada and america are the #1 and 2 fattest countries on the world. i get critisized cuz im 8 pounds the expected weight for a 5'6 14 year old when the people who critisize me are the same age and height and weigh over 50 pounds more than me.


Did you know the UK has the lowest literacy rate in the world? See, it's fun to make up stuff about other countries.

America is at #9 and Canada is at #35 which means they're skinnier than people from the UK who are at #28.

Note: The only reason I kept bringing up the United Kingdom is because that is what is listed in ministaff's profile. Nothing against people from there.  You're still much skinnier than us Americans.

 If you are overweight, it's not by much.

 I suggest working out really hard and convincing people it's all muscle mass. :P

 Yeah but the WHO is using BMI.  Everyone knows america is full of buff people who are also shut ins. (yeah that's the ticket.)

I would not trust a girl who I almost could lift with one arm to understand your weight compared to your height and muscle mass, even if she is your girlfriend. If you are overweight, then it ain't by much and I can't tell by your information.

So don't worry about your weight. Train, get stronger and slightly slimmer if you have something to lose and have a good time with Wii Fit and my it be a good start to a healthier lifestyle outside of Wii Fit to!

What a useless thread...

Weigh in now, and then try and get fit, but weigh in every day and track your progress and keep motivated to do it...

WHAT THE FUCKIN HELL, how has no one even said it yet? It blows my mind that you're even worried about it.

You are as you are, get on the balance board and weigh in and then fix yourself (if you're a fatty).

I am 6'3" and I weigh 93kg but I have very little fat on me.  Wii Fit tells me that I'm in the overweight range, but I'm not overweight because of fat.  I've put on 13kg in 6 months.


Stop being a little bitch and get on the board.  How pathetic would you have to be to be too afraid of weighing yourself and losing weight before you even use it???

WHAT THE HELL??? As I said it blows my mind.


Be prepared when you weigh in for it to show your BMI and it doesn't show your weight if you don't choose too but it will tell you you're overweight or even possibly obese just using your BMI and your Mii will get fat.

I can tell you now that if you are 191cm and 100kg then you're going to register as overweight with a BMI of about 26 - 27.

There you go, I took the scare out of it for you because I've just told you the results without even having to go through the weigh in process.

Grow some balls.
