You don't jump at all. Poor Balance Board can't take it. You do run in place but it's only the case with like two games in total or something like that.
well if you have real poor balance... the neighbours below might complain on the account of you constantly falling. though it's best to have something to soften the fall or something to help you catch yourself.
a standing fan is my saviour here. some of those yoga poses are real tricky when it comes to standing on one leg.
right now I'm a one star unbalanced machine. but after 3 days it seems to be getting better \o/

You're a big guy.
Oh, since someone mistaken my Mii for his one I decided to edit mine so he looks a bit more original.
Here is my new "me" :
Ha, that costume suit me so well :lol
Goddamn that was your mii haha. I actually squeezed into this pic too

The NeoGAF gym community is a fucking awesome addition to an otherwise great game. Though sometimes the stats seem kinda weird. Yesterday it was 80% male, 20% female, yet today it said all male. I wonder what/wheb the stats update...?

I actually wanted to change it a bit too, and now I know which is yours
If you want to say that you conquered your weaker self (as in getting the willpower to workout) in German you say: "Inneren Schweinehund überwinden".
Schweinehund means Pig Dog in English.
I've got back into my morning routine before work, although I need to start getting out of bed earlier so that I have more time.
I also picked up a yoga mat which makes a huuuge difference with the slippery wooden floor in my apartment.
My step counts are disappointingly small due to my very short commute. I should probably start jogging, but c'mon - November weather in England?

...hate me...
Does the algorithm for the kcal meter (on the FitMeter) accounts for the BMR somehow? It counted a shit tonne of wasted kcal yesterday. A shitload of steps too. Not sure if too accurate. It was a normal day of work though, and then I had my weekly late night footie game with friends, which I just came home from.
Even without the football match, I just feel that if I burn that many calories a day (and this was an off day from lifting) I should be leaner. Much, much leaner :'(

Is there a way to skip the easy versions of the exercises?
I guess I don't mind doing everything a couple of times to unlock them, but I spent most of 2012 in the gym, so they're feeling a little light for me.

Yeah, wow, the Fit Meter seems way too generous. Clipped mine on this morning, went to the end of the road and back to deliver my bin (it's about 100 meters journey), went up and down my stairs once, then drove to work (which shouldn't be getting counted).
31 calories burnt..
Whaaa?

Whaaa?
I'm not positive but I think the Fit Meter might account for calories burned at rest as well as while active.

Pretty sure it does, my calories burnt goes up when it knows I've taken no steps.
Nice username!
The fit meter isn't super accurate, but as long as it gives a rough idea and shows me when I've been too lazy, I'm happy with it.
btw: Why does the Wii Fit Meter randomly beep at me at times? Like if I'm doing a running in place or light run, I will hear a little jingle from it once in a while.
I really dislike that actually. Makes it seem like I exercised a good 200 calories more then it should say.. I also needed to stop wearing it in the car, else it would count even more... lol
I'm not sure I buy this theory. Depending on the individual, don't our bodies burn 1000+ calories per day just by way of performing the bodily functions that keep us alive?
maybe it's counting movement that aren't steps too? it definitely goes up when i wear it and am not walking around, but not when i'm sleeping and have it off.
edit: also checked when i'm driving (at stop lights), it's been good so far at not accidentally counting extra steps

I assume it plays the sounds because you press the middle button by accident. And you should take your fit meter with you even in car or bus, as it will register your movement, but also the intensity, which would be light activity.
I'm not pressing it though. At least I don't think so. And I'm not talking about the normal turn on beep. It actually beeps a small song.
I do take it with me in car, I just take it and place it in cup holder. Else it will register me as walking, etc. When I'm just sitting haha
It still tracks steps in the car?
Earlier in the thread someone suggested it plays a tune when you reach a goal (maybe a milestone on one of those climbing paths). I don't own the game so I'm just going by what I've read.
Edit: Here's the post:
At least for me it does. I drive about 30 minutes to get to work, and it's very hilly. My altitude goes up a lot and down a lot a good bit during my road trip. So maybe that and not exactly smooth ride is tricking the meter in thinking I'm walking/running.
Ahh, that explains it then.
So, I don't really get the Trampoline exercise? Is there a certain amount of time before you need to extend your legs. I've kept it at a pretty steady pace, but it seems to be almost random no matter how steady I keep.
But really, I find myself really liking this. It makes for a great pre and post workout for my daily routine. Wish Nintendo hadn't made the Wii Fit Meter so limited store-wise. No shops that sell it near me, and Amazon is out of stock right now. Probably going to order from Toys R Us with a new Wiimote.

It's probably because Girl-GAF hasn't played Wii fit U yet that day (sorry, we're busy) and probably updates as we log in. The most played activities also changes from day-to-day.
Yeah I think it should be more clear about what it's showing because it's currently unclear. It has confused the hell out of me for days.
Maybe separate tabs that change what's displayed: lifetime data versus current/online activity.

Love this game.
That stat is who is online at that moment in time.
Amazon.com has 12 in stock
Really? They were out this mourning. Thanks for the heads up! Just need this and a new Wiimote or a motion plus addon

Amazon is saying it won't get stock until Nov 14, is it sold out everywhere?
Really? The mobile Amazon.com said it had 12 and Prime delivery was available.

Ah, that makes sense, I guess...
Just ordered a second Fit Meter, as my girlfriend kept complaining that the meter was only connectedvto my profile. I'm sure she will join the gaf gym as well.
Is it ok for other halves to join then?

Should probably pre-order then, good that it's selling well

I don't see why not. She browses gaf, and mostly want to join the gym, because I'm in it. And hey, it will only do good to our male/female ratio ;-P

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Just started this... and why did this take so long to make? I swear the models are the same as the original Wii game outside of new menus. o_o
I couldn't find a wii fit u meter at any store in New Zealand so had to order from overseas (UK)
at least while annoying shop keepers about products they had never heard about, one of them turned the screen around and showed that they had clearance on wii fit plus bundle...so I travelled across the city and picked up my 3rd board (was around US$6.50/ NZ $10)
My only problem is that I need to have a stand or something to put the control pad on a high enough level so I can see it comfortably while the wife uses the TV for things other than video games

They were there. I got mine right when I saw your post, but they went fast as fuck. I don't get why Nintendo created this on such a limited basis, especially with a game they see as one of their cornerstone titles for the holidays.
