I remember weighing 158.3 lbs nearly 10 years ago. I was at this weight in March 2014. I feel like the quote above resonates with how I felt at that time and since then I got myself in better shape and made better food choices. My choices for food were mostly terrible then from my point of view before covid. I was still eating terrible food back then despite the restrictions of my diet which I still have to this day. I was at the gym with my former personal trainer right around the time that covid first hit. I stopped doing sessions with him in June 2022 since I had lifted a lot of weight in not such a good way and this happened nearly a year after my recovery from chemo and surgery since I was diagnosed with cancer in May 2021 and the surgery happened near the beginning of September. I had been demotivated from covid for several months to a year. This was not long before the time I found out that I had cancer. I was in terrible pain around this time and I shrugged it off as discomfort. I hadn’t realized that it was something much worse. This pain was confirmed to be from cancer with a CT scan and an ultrasound which detected the tumor in my left testicle which has since been removed through the surgery. I had to go into chemo after I found this out. I used some special mouth care equipment during the chemo and before and slightly after the surgery. I had lost some considerable weight during this period and was quite a bit underweight. I have gained a significant amount of weight back and I am now I am at a good and healthy weight between 145 and 146 lbs.

same. I was obsessed with ensuring I was just below a healthy weight at all times. I wanted to be at the very top of underweight because I assumed a healthy weight or average weight in the game was for "the average American,." which isn't fit. I was always thin growing up but was still terrified of gaining weight or god forbid being chubby. I only ate a tiny bowl of cucumbers for lunch for years during school and growing up I refused to finish my plate, believing that was "fat ugly girl behavior," so my family kept putting less and less food on my plate so I started starving but I still wouldn't finish my plate because I had to stay true to my beliefs. It was awful. Now I eat until I'm full with no shame and my body is bangin', if I do say so myself.

I kept thinking about Ring Fit for the whole video. Seems like it does everything Wii Fit pretends to do, and does it all even better with no judgement and lots of helpful check-ins. The warm-ups and cool-downs, reminders to hydrate, the ability to take a sec for a break anytime you need it without penalty, and your buddy character being pure encouragement- Don't get me wrong, it definitely feels a little silly to be told I'm doing great and cheered for every single squat, but on the other hand... I'm glad they didn't go this judgemental shaming route. Ring Fit is legitimately fun and you can see actual results (I didn't lose weight, but I did get stronger!) in as short as a few weeks or a month. Wii Fit seems... like it's done the exact opposite of what it was marketed to do.

I played that so much that I actually messed up my ankles and had to stop. I loved running through all of the crazy landscapes, and I just about lost my crap when I got access to the archery. It wasn't even about fitness pretty quickly, it was just about getting to pretend I was running around outside and shooting monsters with a bow. It did get judgy if you didn't play for a while, but I only know that because my husband wasn't as into it as I was. Anyway, so you should do that one for 100 days.

Maybe I've been away because I was morbidly ill and my muscle strength is just gone. Or maybe I've been away training for a triathlon and I really need the game to crank it up or I'll be bored.

You can choose how easy or how hard the game is on a scale of 1 to 30 respectively. The exercises properly engage your body much more rigorously. And it plays like a light RPG with your choices in exercises and enemy targeting actually kinda mattering.

Worth mentioning that while Ring Fit asks for weight and age and height, they never mention BMI or weight gain or weight loss (they just use it to estimate calories which I have heard is always a bit less than what you actually burn from a workout). Ring (which is a character in-game, like how the balance board was made a character) is encouraging and fun and their only input is a few tips to perform better (to deal more damage to enemies) and to count down repetitions, which is especially useful for when you can't see the screen. For the first time in my life I kind of look forward to exercise because progressing through levels and following a story have always been a big motivator for me personally. And the writing can be surprisingly funny at times.

The guidance character is purely positive, not a single degrading word or shaming comment. And it actively encourages you to hydrate and stretch and such, too. Also checks in with you when you've been playing for awhile to make sure you're okay to keep going, especially if you start to struggle with the exercises suddenly. And even if you're away for awhile, the game's biggest concern is making sure the intensity/difficulty you had set before is going to still be okay now. Add to that the RPG game theming with enemies to beat, levels to explore, and challenges to clear- and it's honestly fun, even playing it day after day. And hey, if the RPG elements aren't your thing, there's a workout mode you can use instead. It's honestly great.

The gaslighting yourself into thinking you were overreacting by having a negative experience when people were being incredibly toxic towards you is so freaking real. Yes it's important to self reflect because there are some instances where you are at fault or simply not handing things well, but there are also times when you are mistreated. Recognizing both is important. Recognizing your feelings and where they're stemming from is important. Recognizing if those feelings are ones that deserve your focus and energy or if they're ones to feel then let pass is critical. I'm just dumping my thoughts into the ether at this point but yeah.

It's actually really interesting seeing the perspective of someone of an average body weight play the game. I remember I picked up Wii Fit both as a bit of nostalgia and to encourage myself to start healthier habits when I was underweight, with the goal to *gain* weight. I remember the game being a lot more gentle towards me than seen here. Don't get me wrong, it did have its snark and I got called lazy a good share of times, but I never felt like it outright shamed me for it. I knew the game wasn't doing much for me for fitness in the direct sense, but I kept on picking up the game because it encouraged me to push a little further and gave me a fun way to keep track of my progress. While I slowly started to fade off of the game as I gained weight, I had a pretty positive experience with it. It's really unfortunate that it takes a complete 180 whenever someone is trying to lose weight and really goes to show the standards we have set. We perceive being "overweight" as not only unhealthy, but as a moral wrongdoing. You mentioned how the game is unable to account for outside circumstances like slipping up or a baby walking on the balance board, but it always just blames the player for whatever happened. Health is measured on an arbitrary BMI scale and shames you for not fitting neatly onto the scale. It especially sucks because as I mentioned, I positively benefit from the game in my attempts to gain weight, and they know how to use positive reinforcement for underweight people (at least from my admittedly faulty memory). So why does that have to change for people "overweight?"

They’re also shaming people with the BMI score. BMI is such a flawed metric by itself and doesn’t take into account a variety of important factors. Scott is clearly not almost obese, as Wii Fit suggests he is. But that score pushed Scott to essentially become underweight to fit into the BMI’s perspective of health. Luckily, he didn’t follow that advice, but it’s still toxic.

My surface-level memories of Wii Fit are fun, but I think a lot of my body image issues today stem from this game. As a teenager, I always hovered around the upper end of “normal” BMI-wise, so the first time it told me I was overweight (and played that awful tuba sound that mocks you) I was shattered. I felt like a worthless, disgusting failure and instead of being motivated to work out, I just started eating the bare minimum all the time. My mom sat me down and explained how BMI doesn’t take into account weight distribution, so there was an important difference between my weight spread over a stick figure like the Mii and my own body (with muscular thighs, a D cup, and height stunted by anti-anxiety meds they put me on at 11). I’m almost 30 now and unfortunately still picture this game in my head when I weigh myself, hearing that tuba sound laughing at me. Even with a better understanding of weight and metabolism, I still have a horribly strong tie between my weight and my self-worth. 😔

I'm so sorry you had that experience. I'm 40 and for the last 5 years I've been a dog walker. I walked at least 2 hours per day and ate decent. (Oatmeal breakfast, healthy choice dinners and occasional take out.) Guess how much weight I've lost??? I'm 5'6 and I've stayed 200lbs this whole time. Last year, I was like 'fcuk it all' and stopped caring about my weight. ❤ I hope you too one day will realize your weight doesn't define you. You are more than just a number on a broken machine.

Ring Fit is awesome, I was just about to leave a comment about it! Ring Fit is only encouraging, and you can actually see progress and results from long-term play, like getting more toned or being able to do hard excercises easier the more you do them. I wish there were more fitness games like ring fit honestly.

Being a homeschooled child with this game, my mom would make me play Wii Fit every day as my “PE class”. I was also overweight due to reasons out of my control, and being told as an 11 year old that I was “obese” every day definitely contributed to my body dysmorphia. Thanks for validating how unfair and judgmental the game felt, I can’t imagine how many kids grew up thinking they were fat and unhealthy because of this 😢

Nah bro, it aint just you. We got this whenever it first came out. My mom wouldn't play it after about a week. Me and my sister would play a lot but she was always super angry because it told her that she was too thin and I was always upset because it always said that I was overweight. I already had some trouble with bullies at school and my anxiety shot up. My paranoia was crazy and I cried so incredibly much but I just kept playing because I was hoping that I would lose weight. I stopped eating. Played for a couple years til i was too depressed to get up. People may be like : "oh all teens go through stuff like". I WAS TEN WHEN THIS CAME OUT. Anyways, wii fit sucked.

I had to track my weight using the balance board back in early 2022 due to a gastric ulcer i got. I was having trouble eating and i lost a lot of weight in a couple weeks because i couldnt eat solid food. The Dr told me it was a good thing because i was a "little overweight" (i stopped going to her after that). The balance board also said that i weighed 4 or 5 lbs more than i did, and it would whine about my weight every time. Point being, the last thing i needed during that time was my scale to dog me for being slightly overweight when i was practically fighting to keep any food down lmao Im fine now btw, if you got acid reflux you gotta keep it in check or it'll f you up

I know that this video is mostly a joke, but a lot of the things that kinda feel incomplete about Wii Fit were improved a significant amount in Wii Fit Plus. There is a lot more to do and there are more audio cues for some of these exercises that require to face towards the ground and stuff. Also, I can’t speak for the original game, but in Wii Fit Plus, the explanations for the exercises are fairly straightforward. Besides, even if you do really bad in some of the games, you can always reset and learn from your mistakes, lol. Also, about taking off days, in Wii Fit Plus (not sure how og Wii Fit is) has an Activity log that lets you put your burned calories/out of game activities get logged into the game. You definitely don’t want to play the game so often that you begin to get tired of it, lol. It’s best played off and on whenever you are in the mood for it.
