I joined wiialerts.com on June 6th because I couldn't find a Wii Fit anywhere. They send alerts pretty regularly but as soon as I clicked on the link it was sold out. Today it was available in Circuit City of all places. It let me check out and it has an estimated ship date of tomorrow, so I'm hopeful.
So, wiialerts.com
And I got Mario Kart, so if this comes through, I'm complete for now.

I was thinking of getting one to help avoid this issue.
That was until I read some negative reviews saying that the cover was causing incorrect weight readings during the daily body test, so now I am reconsidering it.
Does anyone have one of these board covers, and does it seem to effect the weight results?
Do you have the extension feet on the board, with the cover?
Thanks

Which (of the many) covers did you buy?

Do you also cover your furniture and remote controls with plastic?

I don't have a cover on my balance board now.
I'm hoping the cover will help resolve the dirt issue and protect the board.
Its a white board, so dirt shows up really prominently on it.

Target is supposed to have these on Sunday. I've never bought a high-demand item, so I'm unsure what to expect. Apparently they don't do vouchers or anything.

I'm continuing my "Wii Fit Challenge" on the show I'm working on. June was a bit up and down, but July should allow me to get back on schedule.
If anyone is interested, you can see my stuff here:

My son (age 3) likes to do Wii Fit with me as well. He mainly watches and gives me a high-five when I get a new record or unlock something. I did the 2-person run with him and he beat me because he shakes his arms so much, lol.

One thing I don't like is when you gain weight, it asks you for a reason, but they are all stuff like eating bad or not exercising. There is not a selection for muscle gain or even water fluctuations. Like if you weigh in at 9 am and then weigh in 2 pounds heavier at 9pm they want to know why. Duh.
I was out of town for 4 days and did great on my diet. Only ate salads, and avoided breads, pasta, sweets. I also walked a ton every day (to the point where I had muscle soreness.) I came back and I weighed 3 pounds heavier. My body fat scale also showed the weight gain, but it indicated that my body fat percentage had gone down a full 2 percent. Yet here is the Wii Fit making me feel fat and wanting to know why I gained weight.
