Good lord. Chill. If you're a "fat porker" and a "fatbird" at your height and weight, I shudder to think what you think of me - at your same height and 12.1 stone.

5'4", 138 lbs, and showing definition in your abs and shoulders is NOT a "fat porker". I think you need some serious perspective.

As far as the body fat thing, the Wii is not going to be anywhere near accurate. It's going to give you a ballpark figure at best.

How on earth does the Wii Fit purport to measure your body fat? Isn't it just a pressure-sensitive platform? This is not making sense to me.

I thought the same thing. BMI makes more sense. But it can't calculate bodyfat.
