Wii fit ERROR!
Missy got one last night on some whim of keep fit lark, so I gave it a go and you like have to stand on this platform an it tells you if your fat! 
it even goes ouch when you step on! 
Anyway missy goes first and I nearly pi$$ myself laughing at the result, I tried to reassure her it was her appendages but she really wasn’t a happy
bunny 
Then I get on, now I’m 35, 11 stone and have size 31 inch waist and on top of that cycle everyday for years now….and apparently according to the
machine….obese with a body age of 45!! WTF  what a pill of cr£p that thing is!! I can imagine heaps of folk having heart attacks at such bogus
results, it doesn’t even ask if you’re male or female!!
Oh well the games were fun but if you get one, just take the measurements with a huge dose of salt…

Hard floor or carpet? Scales over-read on carpet iirc.
p.s. It would have been programmed by Japanese guys not chinese

Found it to be correct for myself, but I was using it on a laminated floor.
You have to try Shaun Whites Snowboarding. It's very good.

Also doesn't seem to take into account the differences in men and woman either, which can be quite heavy

BMI is a pile of crap and handicaps anyone with even a slightly higher muscle density, or who is short and thickset. I am unfortunately both!
How can I be morbidly obese with a bodyfat percentage of 13, I told the nurse!

I had a couple of arguments with my doctor about my BMI several years ago - and got to the point of changing my doctor as he was so blinkered to his
stupid chart!! He told me i needed to lose 1.5 stone and wouldnt listen to a word i said. I was playing county / international friendly badminton at
the time so was as fit as a fiddle.

No-one says the BMI is a scientific tool... It's an easy-to-understand gauge to a sensible body weight. For an "average" person
it's reasonably useful. For uber sporty people built like brick poo houses it's of little use.
However, me thinks some people protest too much
It's not like in the west we have a problem with people being "too athletic" We have a mahusive (literally) problem with diet
dodgers and their consequential risk of heart disease, diabetes, collapsing joints etc etc etc....
