Okay.. today my Wii fit age is 47, which is -5 than real age, so I'm gaining on it. That one foot balance is still hard for me.

My best penguin score is 92 today.

I'll post again after I try the slalom. My head feels very heavy today so I stopped after about ten minutes.

How are all of you doing? Comon.. let's get some ages and scores posted!!

OK all you young smarty pants ..... when I get on the Wii Fit tonight, I am going to try my darndest to beat 102 ..... without falling off the board, of course.  LOL

How in the world did you get your insurance to pay for it?!?  Actually, I never thought about trying since they wouldn't pay for my hearing aid!!!

Question:  is the Wii Fit Plus worth the money?

ARRRR!  My highest in the penguin game is only 82.  I don't know HOW you are getting so high.  I thought I was doing pretty good when I hit that!  I will keep trying.  Now I have a score to beat.

My best score in slalom skiing is just around 1:00:00 (I'll write down the exact time next time I am on, but I know I haven't broken a minute yet because of penalties for missing the flags.  That one is tough!)

My best score is in the one where you drop the balls through the holes (forgot the name) and that is a 99.  I can clear all 8 boards on the beginner level.

Okay now you really have set a challenge.
I have never cleared all 8 boards even on the beginner level, so I'm sure I've never gotten as high as 99.

Next time I get on I'll try the marble one, and the slalom one and see how I do.

For what ever reason I really stepped back last night.  Only 44 fish!!!  I guess I will probably starve that old penguin after my surgery!  Forget the skiing!  They put all those gates in my way on purpose.   Tonight will be better.  The penguin is hungry.

LOL

This morning my Wii age is 58 or +6. I couldn't stay on the board to save me.

My penguin score is 95. My slalom score is 43:06.

Got too seasick to try the marble one. ... will give that a go later in the day, but I know that one is going to be hard.

Whew, Tam!  You're fierce. 

It said I was 50 today!  (real age= 31).  The tests it used were weird though, and I didn't figure out what I was supposed to be doing until a lot of time had counted down, so I choose to ignore that.  Haha

Penguin= 96 (watch out, I'm getting better!)

Ski Slalom= 43.21 (only missed one set of flags this time)

Balance Bubble= 982 yds

I didn't do the Marble Table game today either, but I might go back and try it later today since that seems to be the only one I can win.  LOL

Question:  is the Wii Fit Plus worth the money?

Clarice

they paid around half of cost of Wii Fit as a PT and vestibular retraining aide ... they won't pay for BAHA or conventional hearing aide for hearing aide for hearing ear that I am losing hearing in ...

as to if the Wii Fit Plus is worth the money ... it has better tracking of aproximate calories burned and time spent and the kids love it ... if nothing else it is a destresser... I think it was worth it ...

note ....... I was at Movie Gallery yesterday and saw a copy of the Fit Plus on pre-own shelf for $9.99 ...it had been checked out , tested and personal profiles from previous owner had been deleted  and it's guarenteed for as long as you own it ...actually better terms than Walmart gives you ...I have bought preowned DVDs from them and only one that I had to return becasue it started skipping ... just something to keep in mind ...check out rental places for good deals on preowned games for Wii ... 



High penguin score 88 ... my oldest has a score of 190  >:( ... if I ever break 100 I will be happy ...I can't get through the bubble maze at all ... I have cleared both the first marble maze and the advanced one but don't know what the score was ... and that is one that the kids can't get ...

4 weeks post op & finally had nerve enough to get back on the WII!!!  My age was 48 -12!!  Still unbalanced!!  The penguin is definitely starving but I could do the obstacle coarse & island bike better that before.  There is hope for the penguin!!  Hopefully will be able to feed the poor thing soon!  Feeling OK - Wonkey Head sometimes!!

Happy Trails,
Lynn

Add me to the list of Wii Fit Plus owners, just picked it up the other day. I haven't really done much with it but I will post up some baseline scores befor surgery and then some post-op ones as soon as I am able. I would never have thought to get one to aid in recovery if it wasn't for you folks!

Thanks!
