Life With Frenchie

We had a few friends get the Wii Fit last week and talk about how great it was. One friend was shocked (and more than a little pissed) that she was considered “Obese”, based on her BMI.

This morning, we decided we’d try our luck at finding one. We called the local Best Buy as soon as they opened and they had “a couple” left. We drove up there, but by the time we got there, they were gone.

We went across the street where there was a Toys R Us, GameStop, Circuit City, and Target (in that order). We started with Toys R Us and worked our way around. We made it to the Target and they had 3 or 4 in stock!

So, we’ve gotten home and set it up. I’m happy to say I am not obese. I was really expecting it to say I was obese!! I am, however, overweight and “need” to lose 22 pounds to get to a suggested BMI of 22.

EP, on the other hand, was surprised to find he was not considered overweight.  His BMI was just under 25, so he was in the normal range. He is also going lose about 11 pounds or so to get to a 22 BMI.

We’ve now run through all of the available exercises today and I’m pooped! This thing is no joke, as long as you don’t try to cheat the system (because that would be a waste of $90!!). We did learn that I have much better balance than EP, but he’s working on it.

So, now I have a fun, entertaining way to fit my exercise in. MM is off at a friend’s house, but when she gets home she’s going to be psyched to try this out, too!

Stumble it!
