It's too nice outside to stay inside playing Wii Fit.

After I did the check-up thing on my WiiFit - my Mii expanded into a pudgy Mii... it was kind of sad and funny at the same time...

It also asked me if I trip when I walk and told my 9 year old cousin that she is obese (she's 9 for pete's sake!)
 
We got hte Wii Fit on Saturday night. We played for a long time yesterday - today I could not walk up the stairs at work....my legs are killing me!!!!

I am 35 and my Wii Fit Age was 43.
 
I love the wii fit but I haven't been able to play it because my ac adapter to the wii DIED!! We called Nintendo and they're sending us a new one!

But on Sat at my nephews b-day party (we share a b-day, he turned one so he got a party) we played my sisters Wii and my mom decided she is going to buy one!! What?! We NEVER had anything like that at home when I was growing up, why get one now?! No one is ever there!!! LOL
