I think the only way to change this is to change your region to US.
Will this screw things up for the eShop?

Personal routines should do the trick (at least it used to on Wii Fit+). I haven't set up one yet (you can have up to 3 now) but basically you can set any number of exercises and it will just go through it with the occasional "A" when you worked out to long (every 30 mins or so?). You could do a "Just Yoga" routine or mix it up with strength exercises.
I think it'll still reset to a basic pose though....or am I wrong with that?
You'd have to toggle it between US and Canada every time you wanted to buy something. I'd just leave it to Canada and convert in your head: just multiply by 2 and then add 10%, so 65 kg is 130 + 13 lbs = 143 lbs.

You start each exercise in its basic starting pose, that's true, but there's no need to press "A" in between and it just goes on. Honestly I don't know how else it could be done since you can combine any pose at will in your own routine.
Yeah, that sounds like more trouble than it's worth. I'll probably just keep weighing myself using the original Wii Fit channel in Wii mode. That way it can be in pounds and I won't have to do balance tests each time as some have suggested.
Still, I'll drop a note to Nintendo customer service, and anybody else who would like the option should do the same. That way we can maybe get the option in a future update.
i am woefully out of shape.. Started with a fresh profile and did 30 minutes last night. No yoga yet, just luge a few skiing flamenco, hiphop hula rock climbing.. And was sweating afte r enough that I had to shower. Daughter loved the dancing bits. Luge killed my abs.
Now the question is how the hell do you use the code to find the gaf community. I have no idea how and the manual was no help.

You can create a routine. I haven't tried it but maybe that is what you are looking for. I usually keep a wiimote in my hand so I can press A easily than walking over to the gamepad constantly.
Really hate how they use BMI to judge your size on this. I can run a 10K with a sub-8 minutes per mile average, run half marathons all the time, wear a size L shirt, and have a decent set of muscles. The problem is my height never matched the rest of my features. I wear size 13 shoes, a size 8 baseball hat, but am only 5'10". So even though I am really fit, it gave me a Wii Fit age of 63 even though I am 40 and gave my body the obese look. 
It wants me to lose 50 pounds, but a couple of years ago, I kind of starved myself and was down about 15 from where I am now and looked too skinny.

I must be missing something? The game is $20 but the board is $60.

Depending on where you live finding a board or the original wii fit bundle is a pain in the ass if doing so locally. Main reason why i'm just going to wait for the bundle.
I guess I should have said these problems were during a Personal Routine session. I made one with the first 7 exercises, another with the second 7 and a third with a mix. Had to press A after it gave me the balance results then A again to continue. :-(

Yeah, I had that problem too. I do bodyweight fitness 5 days a week, plus running and Rucking (fast marches with 10 pounds of sand in my pack, working up to 20 for a Goruck Challenge) on weekends, and it wanted me to lose 25 pounds. I'd love to loose 10 pounds of fat since i'm still at 19% body fat, but I definitely want to gain more muscle.

The Wii Fit age is based on how you performed during the activity or balance test, in relation to your actual age. And yes, BMI is often a crock of shit. But knowing that your body type is different is the important thing.
Side note: Just found a Fit Meter! Looks to be pretty cool and easy to use.
I think all it did, though, was judge my balance on the board when it made that determination. For the age, that is. I guess i shouldn't get too offended. I am using this as just a fun thing to do that just happens to involve some activity and not my main exercise.

Why do people say the balance tests are required? after the first time, it usually allows you the chance to forgo the balance test and Wii Fit age thing. It's mandatory the first time, but I believe every time thereafter it's skippable. The "simple test" people mention is basically a less detailed body test. You just do the measuring thing, and wii fit gives you the balance and weight results on one screen without the waffle. Will check my profile as I was sure I had it unlocked
Also never take the Wii Fit age to heart much, it fluctuates so much that it almost doesn't matter. The balance games of the body test I tend to consider as a sort of warm up, or something you do for kicks if you have the time.
The Wii Fit U manual generally admits that BMI isn't a perfect measurement, and does say if you are a bodybuilder or a kid, then that muddles with results a bit. I'm not obese physically, but by BMI standards I am, and my Mii can't even quite fit into the wii fit shirt (this shows even on the standard Mii used for gym community, and I seem to be the only one so far sobu sobu), so rest assured, if you mii is looking kinda chubby, your not alone in that.

Yeah, I guess I hate looking at fat me, because I used to be fat me. I worked my ass off to lose 125 pounds and maintain it and so to see myself fat on the screen probably bothers me more than it should.
Wait what?! That's super easy! That's gonna make my life so much easier at work!!!
On topic. Downloaded it last night. Looking for a cheap balance board today. Ordering fit meter this week!!
FWIW, if I remember correctly, Wii Fit+ could really not calculate this very well at all.
That is a 5:53 pace, which would be incredible if you were a distance runner.
I was a little surprised that there aren't too many more new activities, but I presume with everything that will unlock as you play more, there will be plenty of new stuff to do. Also, the original versions really had plenty of bases covered already, so I am very pleased with what's on offer on the whole.

I know this sounds silly but I find it really cool to see my mii (red with a gotee) on someone else's console...
I loved seeing familiar Miis doing weird stuff in the Nintendo Land plaza. Random gaffers chatting up Tezuka and stuff like that. Also, when I was just playing Orienteering, I had to find my Mom's Mii and Patrick Klepek pointed me in her direction with a "over there" in a British accent. Hilarious.

That's odd that they changed it. In Wii Fit+ you only got an overall result at the end of the routine. Would be horrible if true. Will check out later.
Just for confirmation: You can indeed use two Wiimote+ for boxing.

Where'd you find it? I'd rather pick one up than ordering it online.
How do you unlock them?
thanks everyone. yeah I could just weigh myself and skip everything else.
for some reason I thought it forced you to do the full body test everytime unless you used the simple test ...it's been a long time since I used Wii Fit.
Meijer's, which if you haven't heard of it may be more of a midwest chain than all over the US. I noticed it listed here earlier as one of the places that had it, and low and behold it was actually there with the other Wii U accessories.

Costumes do show up in Gym Community background Mii's, neat!
Are they really that tough to find in the U.S.? In Canada I've seen them so far at EB, Wal-Mart and Future Shop. And they each had tons of em.

Yup, nice reference to Mario. There's a lot of secrets to be found in the scuba gameAnyone found this?
Haha that's me in the costume!

Impressive.
I found mine at toys r us last night. Most should have some stock today I think.
I went into TRU yesterday and they had zero and no clue when it will be instock and the surrounding TRUs were all pending with no date so I bought it on Amazon and it was was just shipped.
The employee had no idea what I was talking about yesterday morning but I showed him the listing on their site and he looked it up using the item number and it said "in transit". Then later that same night they had it in Stock at another store.
I just picked up a Wii U so it would be lovely if I could get friend IDs to add [or whatever it's called for the Wii U]
haha, I'm the one on the far right in white =D
I like how it shows you wearing the Fit Meter as a sign you're using the full version.
