Wii Fit Thinks I'm 48. Should I Be Concerned?

I haven't used the Wii Fit in 88 days. I think the machine is broken and also trying to make me feel bad. It tells me that I've gained 6 pounds in those 88 days. Lies. Complete lies, to be sure.

Most damning, however is the age estimation. FORTY-EIGHT? Inconceivable! I'm a fresh, young 38 year old. How can this be?

Well, when calculating your Wii Fit age, it uses two balance tests, and one of them is walking. But you have to walk in place on the Wii Fit board. Have you ever tried to walk naturally but in place? It's not easy! No, I mean it. Stop laughing! I actually walked OFF the board accidentally. It tells me that walking is not my strength. NOT MY STRENGTH. I'm not so good with the walking. I should go with my strengths I guess, instead of WALKING.

Actually, that works just fine, because for 88 days, my strength has apparently been creating a divot in my big green chair. Take THAT, Wii Fit!
