My heart's beating like a rabbit
A little over a month ago some good people from Nintendo came to my house and threw a Wii Fit party. My job was to gather up ten of my friends and prepare them to be humiliated by their Wii Fit age, something determined by your BMI/weight, your age, and some balancing acts that would cause a veteran circus performer to fall over. I don't think it helped that almost everyone had consumed at least two glasses of wine before attempting to balance themselves on one foot, or that some of them like myself would have a hard time balancing on one foot when completely sober. On average, everyone's Wii Fit age was about 10 years older than their actual age. Except for a certain 24-year-old who has yet to be beaten down by life, so of course, she aced the balancing tests. This is one of the problems with the Wii Fit, that it doesn't allow you to input all the years of therapy you've been through, the sleepless nights, the hours and weeks and months spent worrying about your kids, that one Thanksgiving dinner with your in-laws, how you almost filed for bankruptcy, or the countless times your boss belittled you in front of the entire company. Because if you take all that into account then MY GOD, IT'S A MIRACLE YOU'RE STILL STANDING. In those instances the Wii Fit should hand you a cigarette.
My Wii Fit age was 35 (I'll be 33 next month), which isn't too bad, but it's something I'm definitely going to work on as part of the overall changes I'd like to see in my life. The reason I'm even writing about this is because Nintendo has agreed to give me five Wii and Wii Fit systems (as a set) to give away to five of my readers.
I get approached to do things like this all the time, but this is the first time I've done a give away because this is a product I use, something in my house, something I'd love to share with you. Nintendo is not paying me to do this, and just to clear up some confusion, I would never accept money to post about anything here. That's not how this website works. Everything you see in my style section is something I have bought with my own money or is a gift sent to me from one of my readers, a gift I would have gone out and bought had I known about it beforehand, something that fits right in with my aesthetic. I work very hard to make sure that you can trust that what I say here is in no way influenced by advertisers or corporations who are trying to reach a bunch of eyeballs. Your eyeballs deserve as much.
The give away is going to work like this: I'm going to leave comments open on this post until Wednesday July 2nd at 5:00 PM Mountain Daylight Time. You are free to leave a comment as many times as you want, preferably a comment about the Wii Fit and what you think it might do for you or your family, and then on Wednesday night after I close comments I'm going to call The Avon World Sales Leader (my mother, for those who are just joining us), tell her how many comments there are, and then ask her to list off five random numbers between one and that number. She will not have read the comments, so the only thing she will be influenced by is The Spirit. And maybe the vodka she had in her orange juice that morning. HA HA! Just kidding. My mom doesn't drink orange juice.
By commenting on this post you agree to the terms and rules of this give-away (read here) and, should you be selected as a winner, consent to letting me use your name when I announce the winners. Anonymous comments and comments without a valid email address will be disqualified.
Winners will be announced Thursday morning. Ready, set, go!

307. Anna-Laura said:
you know how on the wii sports set of games, you can do wii fitness? it's rather pitiful, it keeps saying that my wii fitness is like, 35.
I'M ONLY 23!!!!
maybe i just suck at the games.
308. Tay said:
Does telling my personal moving story about why I need a Wiifit influence the chance that I'll get one? I'm thinking no, since grandmom is picking numbers, so I'll just say I would really love a wiifit to measure the age of the wine I'll be drinking while playing a Mario game on it instead.
309. Morgan said:
The Avon World Sales Leader must feel very fortunate.
my co-worker says the Wii Fit is awesome, i'd love to give it a try!
310. Jen said:
I can't wait to get my hands on a Wii fit!
311. Jacque said:
Wii fit. Will it make me skinny? Beautiful? Smart? I want one anyway.
312. Ian said:
You know what I would do with a Wii fit? I would use it to babysit my kids for me, or possibly throw it out the window after it told me my BMI. BMI is completely useless and also, dead to me.
313. Valeta said:
I really want a wii fit. I love dooce.com.
Maybe the avon world sales leader will be awesome and pick me.
If not maybe she can talk my husband into buying me one? Just kidding.
314. Kate said:
Very cool contest. A Wii Fit would make me feel like less of a lard ass while sitting in front of the TV while my triathle husband goes and does "real" exercise!
315. Michelle said:
We've been saving for the WII (and need the WII fit), so I'll gladly put my name in the hat. I could also use some Skin So Soft with the massive mosquito outbreak in these parts.
316. Stacie said:
Wow...I am a terrible employee! Wii Please!
317. Stacy said:
So much for working the next 3 days. However, I'm sure all the typing I'll do will decrease my wii age by .0000000000002 years!

I LOVE the Wii! :)
On an actualy commentary note, I love how Shit Eater curled up at Jon's feet while he was balancing... very cute.
321. Monica said:
Yes, this is worth shamelessly first-time commenting for. The husband and I both love the site, the style... we'd love the Wii, too. Our 14-month-old can laugh his ass off at us as we try it.

323. Sally said:
I read your blog faithfully and I would LOVE to win a Wii Fit(i know suck up!). Why, because I'm a single mom to a beautiful 13 year old daughter and wouldn't spend the $ to get one myself. Also, I had gastric bypass last year so I could get healthy and lose weight and I think this would be a great, fun way to lose my last 70 pounds and get to do activities with my daughter. I think they look like great fun! People talk about them all the time on Obesityhelp.com where I go for support and message boards to stay on track. Thanks! Oh yeah, and my dog Toby would like it too. :)
324. Anonymous said:
Maybe this will stop my mother been calling me to ask when I'm going to get one of these, when she really wants to know when I'm going to lose those post-college 20 pounds.

My son wants a Wii for his birthday, this would a cheap way out for me. Sending your mom vibes to pick me. :)
330. Annemarie said:
My husband has been trying to convince me to get a Wii for some time, the thought of standing in line for hours on end just didn't appeal to me. Now that they are more readily available I can't help but want one. Oh and I am 38 weeks pregnant, and would like to get back into my pre-pregnancy jeans sometime in the next century :)

If balancing on one foot makes you wii-younger, then all those years of gymnastics will finally pay off!

I would love to have it to no longer have an excuse that it is hot outside. I don't think I would turn off the air as an excuse.

My nieces and nephews would love me forever and ever...
336. Marianne said:
I was just extoling the virtues of Wii Fit to my husband yesterday, and thinking it would be the perfect complement to my new running routine. My half-mile running routine. That only takes me 6 minutes per day. Am I in the right mind frame here?
337. De Anna said:
Suhweeeet! You're getting comments faster than I can refresh.
I would love a wii fit because then we could center our drinking games around THAT!
Awesome. Good luck to everyone.
captcha was "confess growth" That's just mean.
338. Carissa said:
My husband and I have been talking about getting a Wii. We'd definitely have a lot of fun with one!

Luck - please be on my side!! (for once)
340. Lindsey said:
I would have been further up the list, but that hilarious list of rules kept me busy for a minute. I wasn't reading, I was laughing. Though I realize that people are crazy, and you have to take every precaution imaginable and unimaginable to not get your ass sued.

Wii Fit: sounds like high comedy!

343. Diana said:
Okay, I'm in. PICK ME!
My 3 year old is obsessed with playing video games (maybe because he's never been able to) so the Wii might be the perfect way to introduce them.
344. Stacy said:
My 7 year old wants a wii and asked about yoga the other day. and she whines. a LOT

My Wii fitness on Wii sports my friend had was like 48 so talk about sad (I'm only 25)!

The Wii Fit looks like a big block of feta cheese. I think I'd chop it up and eat it - in a greek salad, with lots of balsamic vinegar!

I feel so confident that the spirit is going to remind your mother about my 15 pounds of baby junk that I am only going to leave the one comment.
Can't wait to try out my new Wii + Wii Fit.
352. Kristen said:
Would love to be picked. My husband and I have an 8 month old and want to attempt to raise her so that she won't struggle with fitness like so many people do. We are working on it as well and this would be so much fun to do as a couple as well as with our daughter when she gets older.
Thanks for offering this!

Wiiiiii-ha! (please pick my number. please pick my number. please pick my number.)

360. Gina said:
The first time I tried, my Wii fit age was 49 (and I'm 36). After a couple of weeks, my age has dropped to 37!! I have a Wii, but would happily give a won one to my sister, who had her first baby almost 2 years ago, and is still in way better shape than me. But who deserves an adult video game because she is AWESOME.
361. leigh bee said:
I wonder if Heather is going to monitor her comments? How many people would that take? I bet absurdity has already occured in less than 22 minutes much less 22 hours. People here want a wii.
362. Gabrielle said:
Yet another sucker for free stuff (especially cool gadget-y stuff that will get me up off my butt without requiring me to break my out-of-control TV addiction).

If I can't win a Wii, can I win lunch with you? I'll buy.
364. Amy in SC said:
Wow - a Wii would be awesome! I think it would just be a lot of fun!
365. Salena said:
My boyfriend and I are truck drivers and we've recently been talking about getting into better shape.
This little contraption might be PERFECT since my boyfriend likes anything that remotely resembles a video game and I like any form of exercise that doesn't take me too far from the air conditioned confines of my home. What a beautiful combination!
Go Avon World Sales Leader!!!

My heart is also beating like a rabbit, like several rabbits. I would love to have one of these as I usually walk outside for exercise, but sometimes that's not possible and it would be fun to have this for inside exercise. My 10 yr old son would also think I'm coolest mom ever if I won this.
Thanks for doing this, Heather.
367. Angela said:
Are you kidding? This would be beyond great. I'm feeling lucky.

Who wouldn't want a Wii fit??? What a perfect prize

My boyfriend and I have been trying to think of fun activities that are also healthy. The Wii Fit would be perfect!!!

Please pick me!
372. Jacquie said:
I don't have a Wii Fit, but when I did the fit test on a regular Wii, it said I was SIXTY FUCKING FIVE. I'm not even 40, dammit. Not for OVER 4 months.
Does dropping the F-bomb disqualify me from the contest? I should read the rules.
The thing that pissed me off is that I was GOOD at the Wii, I can KO my 7 year old in no time flat. The only thing I sucked at was GOLF, and I really don't see what that shit has to do with my level of fitness.
I think I would rock that Wii Fit. Thanks for the opportunity!
373. Dana said:
Dooce,
On July 4th I will turn 25. I am still sporting the many pounds I gained in college, no thanks to ex-boyfriends, who shall remain unnamed. Relocating from Iowa to Tennessee for work has left me short on family and friends to take part in group therapy and fitness. I would love to have a reason to actually ENJOY exercising because, seriously, something needs to change.
Cheers to Firecracker babies everywhere!
Dana

If I had Wii Fit, maybe I wouldn't spend so much time on the internet trying to entertain myself! I love the Avon lady!
379. L.D. said:
I think this is one of the greatest advances in gaming and truly hope that the WII Fit will encourage many of today’s youth to get up and do something for a change. Yeah Nintendo for addressing the sit-on-your-butt generation's need to get up!
380. Judi said:
I am going to India for work.
While there, I'm looking to have a custom-made wedding dress.
It would be so cool if, with the Wii Fit, I had to have my dress taken in by next May.
381. Kelsey said:
I've been dealing with medical issues for years and as a result have spent many more hours on the ol' couch than exercising. I need to get back in shape if I'm going to be able to run all over a college campus soon. I guess I don't NEED a Wii to do that, but... sure would make it more fun!
382. Sarah in LA said:
I can't think of anything more interesting to say except I WANT ONE!!!

I have a four month old and a seven year old and have like zero time to get to the gym. A Wii Fit would be awesome. I love reading your site and hope I get picked. Woohoo for free stuff.
389. Aly said:
As a fairly struggling single twenty-something year old, I have had to sacrifice luxuries like pre-planned diets and personal trainers, and the Wii seemed to answer all my questions, except, "WHY CAN'T YOU BE FREE?!" So, I like Avon. And I like you!
390. Erin said:
Thank you!!!
391. Gabby said:
Wow how awesome! I've been wanting a Wii since they came out and the boyfriend and I have been trying to decide whether we should cave and buy one with the credit card or not. Wii Fit would be perfect for me, as I don't get out much to exercise because I'm always at home drawing or painting. It's sad, really. ;-)
392. Kim L said:
How cool. My poor children have nothing but Nintendo DS and a PS2 to entertain them. The Wii Fit would satisfy both our desires - theirs for electronic entertainment and mine to have them off of the couch already.
393. Erin said:
Thank you!!!
394. Kelly said:
I guess it doesn't hurt to try does it?!?!?!

Here's me sending 'pick me' vibes to The Avon World Sales Leader.
398. Brandy said:
I'm totally de-lurking for a Wii and Wii Fit.
Let's see, I think it would be a fun way for my husband and I to actually play games together. (I get motion sick when I try to play Medal of Honor with him.)
Actually, the truth is that I am about to start writing a dissertation and I think a Wii fit would be a great way for me to avoid gaining weight during that typically sedentary process. It might also be fun to alleviate stress by imagining I'm boxing with Roland Barthes.
Oh...will there be Avon consolation prizes? Because I would settle for a good lipstick.
399. Rachel Strasburg said:
Yeah, we all want to win. Fingers crossed The Spirit will pick me!!
400. Red said:
Ohhh! How cool is that of the wii people. It must of been fun to dream up a way to give them away!

Thanks for the great opportunity. I've been highly intrigued by the Wii Fir for awhile now, though I don't think my ego could stomach sharing my Wii Fit age with others! I think this would be a really fun way to work out; Much more fun than counting down the minutes on the eliptical machine at the gym. This would also be a great way for my husband and I to motivate eachother to keep improving ourselves.
408. Brenda said:
I am not sure that I want to know my real age because everyone already thinks I'm 40+ (I'm still in my 30's) but still who can pass a Wii up???

I have a pet theory that the Wii told you you were 18, and that gave you the balls to audition (and make it!) on SYTYCD. But your anxiety got the best of you and you weren't prepared to give up your day job if the dance dreams fail, hence the pseudonym:

oh, why not. my 7 year old would love to see me huffing and puffing in the living room.
416. Abby Johns said:
If I win this Wii Fit I am going to give it to my sister because she wants a Wii and she definitely deserves one. We lost our mom when she was 14 and I was already living out on my own about an hour away so she has been living in a house full of guys during those crucial years when a young lady needs her mom. I have been wanting to do something nice for her but haven't been able to afford anything real special, but I can definitely afford the time to leave a comment on this post and cross my fingers.
If she purchases one before I hypothetically get a chance to surprise her with this one then it is going to go to my brother who just graduated high school with honors and is an amazing human being, plain and simple. Okay, I am going to go cross my fingers now.

Wow! Well, I work for the American Cancer Society and my partner works for an education non profit, so money for us is usually a little tight. We would be so happy to win a Wii fit and get rid of our gym membership!!!
424. Julie said:
I think that's fantastic! My friend in England has a Wii and he said it's amazing how much it can help you and you're having fun so you don't even realize that you're exercizing! So i can play the wii and then fall onto the couch with some ding dongs, right?
425. Kati Lutz said:
I would love a Wii Fit! My husband and I have been trying to eat better and be more active since we found out his blood pressure was 165/100 (and he's only 31). He's on medication for it now, but his doctor said that if we eat better and are more active, he could possibly go off the meds at some point. Also, we want to have kids soon and I feel like it's not fair of me to be growing a baby in my body with the way I treat my body. We both love video games and have been trying to buy a Wii since Christmas - it's just that whenever we actually have the money to buy one, they're out of stock everywhere we look!
So come on Avon World Sales Leader - pick my number! :)
426. Jen McD said:
Please gods of vodka and Avon, pick me. The kids and I would love this, probably the kids more as the laugh at my attempt at yoga.
427. tabatha said:
Ooooh MY! What an awesome give away! I've wanted a Wii for my kids forever. They still are hard to come by around here. I'd LOVE the Wii fit....
thank YOU!
(ps...love the math question!! hah)
428. JO said:
I am pretty anti-video games, but this one has my interest piqued...and I love FREE STUFF!!
429. Lee said:
Obviously, this will (wii'll?) be the springboard to my trapeze career. Thanks!
430. Alison said:
My hope is that this could help make the world's biggest clutz a little more graceful. Or least get me in good enough shape that I could run with my kids without wanting to fall over in five minutes.
431. Bethany said:
W00t! That's cool that they would do that... hrm, good advertising too ;) We're too damn cheap to buy a Wii but FREE is awesome.

You don't understand how badly I need this. I currently have two work out DVDs that I use just about every day: (1) A Tahitian Hip Hop DVD (on clearance at Wal-Mart, if you're interested), and (2) a Yoga DVD filmed circa 1986. PLEASE rescue me from 1980's spandex and Tahitian bongo music! I promise I would put the Wii Fit to good use!

Ooh, I've been dying to try Wii Fit. I used to do yoga regularly, once upon a time, and this would be such a good excuse to get back into it.
442. mole said:
Oh yeah I love free stuff!! And secondly YES I could definitely stand to lose a few pounds.
443. Andrea Spamdrea said:
Five years of being a loyal fan and this is the first time I've ever commented... What can I say, I'm a sucker for free shit!
444. Shannon M said:
Wiii love Dooce and Wii Fit!
445. leigh bee said:
It is already clear that your server is groaning. I can hear dooce and her readers collectively exclaiming "oh my god! 400 comments in 10 minutes!"
446. Mel said:
Finally! A Wii in the house I'd want to touch!
447. lily said:
if you send me a wii or wii fit, i will send you photos of the wii party that will take place in our apartment in brooklyn. a dog will be made to balance on the wii fit board. so will soem tipsy aussies.
yay!
448. Laura said:
Oh Avon World Sales Leader, pick me! Do I really need another excuse to bond with my TV set? Absolutely!!
449. Kara said:
Oops, the phone! That slowed me up.
450. Gretchen said:
ohmygodohmygodohmygod...
a Wii and Wii fit? Sign me up!
451. Kari-Mel said:
This post at Finslippy just seems to fit right in here! http://finslippy.typepad.com/
Makes me want to channel my post number to the Avon World Sales Leader just so this new technology can torment me into exercise more than my teenagers!
452. jo9151 said:
I want to win!!!
453. Nikki said:
This sounds great, could be good for getting rid of this post pregnancy weight that is still hanging on!!
454. Tay said:
I think I deserve a Wii (and the Wii Fit) because the only game console my family could afford growing up was a Nintendo 64, and even then we didn't get that until the GameCube came out. I still have it, and I play a funny little farming game on it.
455. Amye King said:
We are a family of three who would love a Wii! Exercise is much needed in our family!
456. Erin said:
pick me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
457. e m of oakland said:
like i said, i would go and get a tv
458. Pam said:
I would like a Wii Fit because.... I Wiil be 50 -- FIFTY!!! OMG!!! (better than the alternative, I know) in 26 days.
And I am very much NOT Fit, Wii or otherwise. But I am trying, this year, to undo the damage of the past 20 years b/c I say, "50 is the new 30." And so far, Turbo Jam is kicking my aged ass. So I need soemthing a Wii bit more sedate, to start.
And b/c I read your blog every day, and love your photographs, and have your book for my summer vacation reading, and ... love Avon products and Wiil buy from your mother if you give me the Wii, thereby boosting your inheritance.
How's that for suck-uppage?
459. leslie said:
hi. this is fun thank you! my family of 4 would have a blast with a wii and wii fit. hope i win.
460. lily said:
if you send me a wii or wii fit, i will send you photos of the wii party that will take place in our apartment in brooklyn. a dog will be made to balance on the wii fit board. so will soem tipsy aussies.
yay!
461. Amy in SC said:
Okay, last entry. Seriously - I would send you video of me making a TOTAL fool of myself. Surely that's worth a Wii, right? I'd even try to incorporate Wii Fit in the video!
462. genevieve said:
what the hell, a wii would be fun. plus i love the idea of hula hooping without a hoop in front of my living room windows.
463. Tammy said:
Wii love cake too, so mii needs a wii!
yep, running out of witty!
464. Carolyn said:
A Wii fit? I'm scared to know what my Wii Fit age would be. Probably 97.
465. Melissa Witherow said:
Heck yes I want a wii! I've alaways been a fan of Nintendo products why would this be any different. This might just keep me from killing my kids.
466. Marilee said:
I have been wanting a Wii ever since I tried it a friend's house. Even more now that they have the Wii Fit.
467. Peggy said:
OK, somehow there are two #259 comments and since I don't think I can share the Wii Fit with Stephanie I am commenting again. :)
468. karen said:
I would LOVE a wii fit because my husband is a cheapskate and won't buy one.
469. Tracy Miller said:
Wii!!! Man it would be great for my fat butt and my husband's fat butt, but also good for my 2 young boys that can't seem to master my gameboy, but I think could easily break my TV by throwing the Wii controller at it!!!
Plus I probably have not done anything athletic with a game system since Track and Field on the mat for the original Nintendo! I seriously actually burned the bottom of the "POWER PAD"!!! Sad but totally true!
Thanks for the opportunity to win something I probably would not splurge on.
470. amanda said:
Crossing my fingers.
471. Alison said:
How would it affect me and my house? Maybe for once I could beat my husband at a game. It sucks always loosing to him...
472. Rachael Drootin said:
Weeee for free Wiis!
473. Melissa said:
Because I just decided this weekend we NEED a WII...I didn't realize how awesome they are!
474. Megan said:
I would love a Wii...pick me! Love your blog...
475. Kate said:
DELURKINGGGGGGG NOW!
My Irish Twin girls have made me a fatty, and there's no way I've got enough willpower for a cleanse.
Sign me up, yo.
476. Grimsaburger said:
I'm pretty sure the Wii Fit would bring me inner peace.
477. Laura said:
I would love a Wii Fit!!! If I won it I would probably lose my husband to it.... it's worth a shot.
478. Sarah said:
OH! I hope to one day attain the amount of amazing that you have achieved, where fabulous Nintendo people just show up at your house to throw a Wii party and showcase their latest technology.
I just graduated from school with a BFA in Interactive Design and Game Development (translation: I majored in video games, and now get to spend the rest of my life making them) and I have been wanting a Wii Fit since its release. Unfortunately they are sold out everywhere. I'm intrigued by Nintendo's constant ability to innovate, and I can't wait to try out this latest peripheral. I'm convinced that it will help change my life.
And I level up to 23 tomorrow. (It's my birthday).
Have a good day!
479. Judy B said:
I have been reading you blog for awhile now (several years) and I absolutely love it. I feel guilty for never having posted before and for doing it now, but my boyfriend and I could both use the Wii Fit. We're tying to get into shape and have both talked about how much we've loved playing the Wii a friend of ours has but between the rent and food and bills and life we haven't gotten ourselves one yet. Both of us really need to get into shape - I'm really worried about his health. You don't need to know all of our gory details.
Let me go ahead, though, regardless of winning the Wii Fit or not and take time to thank you for what you share on here. You've touched my heart countless times and it's just nice to know that someone out there understands. Thank you for being you.
480. Hannah said:
i would love it!
481. reggert said:
I'd love to be able to give my parents a Wii for their 35th wedding anniversary next week so they can stay healthy for another 35 years together...
482. Melissa S said:
Would kissing up help? Like if I were to compliment the Avon World Sales Leader and tell her that I love her taste in lipstick color or something??
;)
483. Eva Tognoli said:
Alice says it does a good job of humiliating you if you don't live up to its expectations. Sounds like fun! Count me in! It certainly would benefit my need to lose the last of the pregnancy weight from, oh, TWO YEARS AGO.
484. Barb Ruess said:
We just got back from a family trip and my sister brought the wii fit. Nintendo should label the box 'hysterical fun for the whole family'. Little ones.. big ones... drunk ones.. we all had fun. So pick me - pick me :)
485. Megan said:
I am going to practice "the secret" just for this.
486. Jill said:
I have always wanted to try the Wii Fit. I am interested to see the yoga bit.
487. Jim Dlugosinski said:
Excellent promotional idea...wonder if Digg will pick it up?
488. mar said:
Pick me! Pick me! Would love a Wii Fit - we are awaiting delivery of our Wii, and would like kids to know it can be used for so much more!!
489. Emily B. said:
I'm waving my arm way up high in the air for this one.
490. Sandy said:
You know, I'd never heard of a Wii Fit party until now. But I'd gladly throw one if I won a Wii...
491. Adrien said:
Oooh, just the thing I need to torture my husband. And my cats.
492. Kyla said:
Yay for free Wii!
493. Neill Harmer said:
I'm not sure my fit age, but I'd be willing to bet it's good, now. In the last 8 months I've lost over 100 lbs (naturally, with exercise and diet, not surgically) and am in the process of becoming a certified personal trainer.
So it'd be fun to try the Wii Fit out.
494. Judi said:
I am going to India for work.
While there, I'm looking to have a custom-made wedding dress.
It would be so cool if, with the Wii Fit, I had to have my dress taken in by next May.
495. Lou Brothers said:
My wife has a personal trainer. She spends every other day having someone challenge her balance and physical prowess.
Me, I have a job that puts me in front of a computer all day and then I come home and sit in front of another glowing screen.
I wish I had a personal trainer too - preferably one that appears on the glowing screen.
That and I like saying Wii in response to questions. Wii? Wii.
496. Leah said:
Hi, Heather's Mom! I need to win this Wii Fit so I can send it to my best friend in Oregon!
497. Rebecca Cannon said:
A wii fit would allow me to work out indoors, which would give my asthma a much needed break, as well as making working out actually enjoyable, which I struggle with. Thank you for this chance to win!
498. Susan said:
Ok, this was too good to pass up. I have officially delurked...to win a contest...I am feeling seriously selfish! I hope the Spirit is on my side when your momma picks the numbers! I wonder if the hubs would like this or my boudoir pics better. I may not want to know the answer to that question.
499. dregina said:
I commute 10 hours a week. HELP ME SAVE MONEY AND GAS GOING TO THE GYM!
500. Cherry said:
Wii Mii!!!!!
501. Magdalen said:
I would love to have a Wii Fit. In fact, I was thinking how savvy Nintendo is to use the power of Dooce to market this new way to get Fit.
502. velvet said:
my husband and 6 year old have been begging for a wii for the past year! i would looove the wii fit - chasing after two kids only does so much :)
i've been a big fan of your website for a long time, and i really admire you! your posts are so funny and inspirational.
(ok, i promise i'm not a stalker! i'm way too lazy for that, anyway. see why i need the wii fit!)
503. Ariel said:
I'm afraid we are going to break your site! And then WHAT WOULD I READ?
504. Mackenzie said:
1. Thank you for this contest -- it's like Oprah's giveaways, but far more entertaining and genuine, like yourself and your blog;
2. I've been buying Avon products like crazy lately, which I attribute 100% to the subliminal references to your mother on this site (so thank you); and
3. My husband and I have been coveting a Wii / Wii Fit / Wii Stripper Pole since all were introduced. If we receive a Wii I promise to:
a. On occasion use the Wii Fit to get our sedentary selves in shape, sort of;
b. See how well our 3 cats fare on the Wii Fit; and
c. Purchase and subsequently master the Wii "Pole", which will involve much imbibing and marital antics.
505. Jacinta said:
The first contest on Dooce evah! May the Spirit guide your mother to my number. And then I'll promise to be your fittest reader, sending you pictures of my progress? Maybe not...
506. Jenny B. said:
i've got a fever, and aside from cowbell, i think only a wii fit would do the trick...
507. e m of oakland said:
wii please
508. RebeccaCDM said:
Is it wrong that I am typing my entry for this while eating potato salad for lunch???
I would love one!
509. Andrea said:
Me..pick me! Oh, World Avon Lady..Pick me!!!
509. Misty said:
"Wii Fit is a combination of fitness and fun, designed for everyone, young and old. By playing Wii Fit a little every day, you, your friends, and your family can work towards personal goals of better health and fitness"
Hey, what more can you ask for? Will you give me one?
510. Anne C. said:
I've heard so many good things about Wii Fit, but I am still skeptical. I'd love a chance to see what all the hype is about.
511. Gidget said:
We borrowed a friend's Wii once and my daughters (6 and 4) decided it was the best invention on earth.
I had to agree.
Fingers crossed...
512. jen said:
i have so wanted a wii and my hubby said i was childish... pick me pick me!
513. Sara said:
I am getting married in January, I would love to be in better shape by then! Pick me!
514. Laura said:
Three words for ya'
LONG INDIANA WINTERS!
Three kids and THREE Nintendo DSs - Mama deserves a Nintendo she can actually use - and that won't require +3 reading glasses. I won't even mention how nice it would be to have our family of five off the couch and into action...
Fingers crossed.
515. Anne C. said:

516. jana in okc said:
I need a Wii. I'm the 40+ mother of a four year old and a kindergarten teacher too. Noone needs to be fit more than me. Pleaseeeeeeeeee pick my number Avon Sales Leader of the Universe. I wonder if your Mom will get to meet Patrick Dempsey now that he is a spokesmodel(person) for Avon. How cool. Anyway. i want to wii......n!!!!
517. Rebecca Nunez said:
I'm really curious to see if my 9 month old could play a WII - or if we could use it to lull him to sleep. Nonetheless, I'm sure he'll find it a great toy to put in his mouth and tap his only tooth on. I on the other hand could see if my 31 yr old body really is the age 60 according to WII Fit. I only feel 60 after a long weekend of playing baby airplane and pulling a muscle in my back doing so.
518. Amber said:
It is about 1,000 degrees in Texas in the summer, and I don't foresee my current jogging regimen holding up under the heat.
And plus, also, despite the fact that I work out every single day, my scale told me this weekend that I gained three pounds. So I ate my scale. Stupid scale.
Therefore, I NEED a Wii. That is all.
519. Jim Dlugosinski said:
Not to be a hog, but I'd love to be 300 (a great film too!)
520. Meech said:
If I can't win a Wii, can I win lunch with you? I'll buy.
521. Jackie said:
I love Wii Fit and would love to have one of my own!
Thanks for doing this Heather, I love your blog and have been reading daily for years.
Also best of luck in your quest to be healthier! I have been a vegetarian for seven years, and while I can't say it has necessarily made me healthier, it feels great to know that I am living by my conscience.
522. Meg said:
I want the Wii so much! My husband just bought an Xbox 360 because he consdiers the Wii "girlie." I know he would love it if we had it in our house...
523. lilian said:
i just moved apartments, and a wii would be a great housewarming gift. let's hope your mom likes this number :)
524. Alex said:
Color mii interested.
525. Wendy said:
I if Wiin, I'll buy something from Avon in appreciation.
526. Tay said:
Also, everyone hates going to the gym and sweating and gyrating in public, and working out at home is difficult without, say, a Wii Fit! Unless you get into those taibo videos, and last time I tried one of my dachshund was hospitalized after marching up to investigate why I was lunging and huffing like a water buffalo giving birth.
527. e m of oakland said:
ok wii me
528. Kathryn said:
Yay! This is so much fun... and I've played Wii Fit at a friend's house and would love to have my own...
529. Jill said:
Avon Rocks! Trying to get the karmic edge.
530. Hannah said:
one for me please!
531. Kelley said:
I would love to own a WII!!
I dream of owning one as I stare through the glass at the store!!!
PICK ME,PICK ME PICK MY NUMBER!!!!
532. Kristin K. said:
I've been dying for a Wii Fit, especially considering my sole form of exercise involves lifting the ten pounds of my Carlo and Rossi wine jug to pour myself a glass....
533. Jenny L said:
All my friends have wiis.....and I don't. Please give me a wii so I can be cool, too.
534. Andrea said:
I would love to own one and I can't afford it....Pick ME!!!!
535. Ariel said:
Maybe if I had a Wii Fit I could eat more cake?
535. Megan said:
Yay for giveaways!! I have been wanting to try the Wii and the Wii fit to get more variety in my workouts!!
536. Lee said:
Been dying to try the Wii Fit. Looks amazing.
Your site is a breath of fresh air in my day. Thank you!
537. Kourtenay M. said:
I have been pimpin' out the Wii Fit as a fantastic birthday present for several weeks now, but sadly, my friends and family are terrible at hints and I never win contests. Wii is me.
538. Erin said:
dude, my husband would freak out...
539. Laura D. said:
Oh, to think that just this afternoon I was wishing for one of the Wii Fit's in the window display of the Nintendo store by my office. Here's hoping this is kismet!
540. Linda Lollo said:
I'd love a Wii Fit as a tool to get my body in decent shape (note that I don't say BACK, since I don't think its ever been in shape) for the very first time. My husband and I are planning to start a family in the next couple of years, and I'm afraid that if I don't prepare my body, that I will become high risk. The words high-risk scare me to death as I saw a friend miscarry and then saw her fear throughout her pregnancy as various issues came up, all due to weight. The Wii Fit would be something that would give me no excuses, since it would be in my house - I'd love to track my progress and keep you updated as I start to see the numbers drop. I've joined a gym and have begun working with a trainer, this would be one more tool in my arsenal.
Happy Wiing!!!! I love the post :o)
541. Cindy said:
My husband is a game lovin' techno nerd. He's always wanting to get the newest game system and then he hardly ever plays it. I'm always saying "NO! No more!", but the more I see of the Wii, the more I want one. My husband has recently gotten on the fitness band wagon. I'm currently training to be a yoga teacher. This is something we could do together. Plus it just looks like so much fun!
542. Cathy W. said:
WiiFit would be the perfect way for my husband to drop the weight he gained after his knee surgery (and for me to lose the weight from liking cookies too much!)
543. Vanessa said:
I would love a Wii Fit! We've been talking about getting one, but haven't taken the plunge yet!
544. Jen said:
After our 15-month old was born, my husband gave up his Playstation... This would be awesome! I hate video games, but need to get in shape. He's in shape and loves video games. We would have so much fun!
545. jen said:
as my three year old would say, again again! i want the wii!!!!!!
545. Trevor J said:
Nice posture, Heather.
I'd like a Wii. Thanks.
546. Seth D. said:
I'd like to win the Wii because I'm a poor nerd. Also, for the health and stuff.
547. Adrienne O'Keefe said:
I would truly benefit by having the wii fit. Universe, you know I am not lying. After the year my husband and I have had...plus getting to know my newly-met half-brother by giving us something to do without such pressure. I almost bought one this weekend for stress relief and the fun we could have instead of sitting around eating and talking we could be playing and laughing while getting to know each other.
548. Alex said:
shamless trolling for comments
:) I'm all in
Wii fit might help me back in shape post-surgery (successful)
549. Cynthia said:
I'll use anything that will potentially help me get out of those pesky DUI roadside tests! ;-)
Actually, I need a Wii because it just might shut up my 11-year-old son, who apparently got implanted with an alien voicebox that repeats, over and over on a daily basis, "when are we getting a Wii, Mom? when are we getting a Wii, Mom? when are we getting a Wii, Mom? when are we getting"...you get the point.
550. Sandy said:
Wii me! Wii me!
551. Danielle said:
It's something I really want for kids and me. It's not a need, thus something I couldn't rationalize buying. We would love it and it would provide us all with a much needed outlet for fun!
552. Megan said:
Delurking for the Wii!!
553. Janell said:
Pick me! Pick me!
554. Alfred said:
I've been wanting a Wii since Wii Sport. I love that there are games out there for the casual gamer and fun for the whole family.
555. Lori said:
I just know the Avon World Sales Leader will pick me! Me and The Spirit are no longer on speaking terms. . .
556. Lisa Pickle said:
I would LOVE to win this!! Pick meeeeeeee!! My son has been begging for one, and his birthday is July 4th. I would love to see what my fit age is (wait....maybe) Anyway...I could stand to do the excercises. COME ON Avon World Sales Leader....me me me me!!! Thanks Heather, I really enjoy your writing.
557. Jamie said:
I've been stalking the tracking websites, planning on buying a wii for my 9yo for christmas. This would be even better.

This is awesome! I really need the Wii Fit because my husband and I are fatties.
560. Antoinette said:
OMG, this comment could possibly be read by hundreds of people. The pressure is just TOO MUCH. Hi, Mom! :)
561. megan said:
ooh, i hope my number gets picked -- i haven't won anything since i was, like, five! i'd use the wii and wii fit for the shape-up blog i'm about to start writing for work...
562. Hannah said:
i want one!
563. Shannon said:
So I have meant to post a comment on here a billion times, but it takes a Nintendo Wii to get me to finally do it? Oh, America. Anyway, I took a real age test online that told me I was, healthwise, something like 17 (I'm 27). I suspect I obtained this result because I am a liar. I would like to see what truths my body has to tell me. Also, I wicked want to have a Wii bowling tournament at my apartment.
564. Sally said:
I tried Wii fit at a friend's house and loved it, so I would love to win one for myself!
565. nycwhofan said:
I love contests. I hope you pick me because if I win it, the Wii will go to my brother in Bend, OR, who recently had a massive stroke while he was refereeing my niece's lacrosse game Portland (3 hours away from home). He was stuck away from home in hospital for a month. His speech and movement (right leg and arm still pretty much paralyzed) is coming back slowly, but even before he's strong/balanced enough to use the Wii himself, I think it'd be great for my sisterinlaw and niece as well. My sisterinlaw is having a hellish two years - on top of husband's stroke, her mother died while she was on the plane home to say goodbye, 2 of her sisters have cancer, she's had skin cancer and knee problems, her 2 salukis died, her 14-year old daughter that she adopted from Russia is having serious emotional and scholastic issues that necessitate investments of time and money and patience that she just does not have now that she's focused on getting my brother walking and talking. Plus, she's dealing with my mother. That alone, deserves the Wii. Hell, it deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
566. Erin said:
Maybe this will be the one type of exercise I won't give up on after 6 months... here's hoping!
567. Jessie Ernst said:
I e-mailed you a couple of weeks ago. Guess I came off as super stalkerish after all. I just wanted to tell you that you are super cool. The coolness radiates from you like little rays of super cool sunshine. Oh how I would love to be your friend and be invited to one of your super cool wii parties. But alas, I am a stalker (not really), not super cool like you, and I live in Ohio. Well, at least I have a shot at getting a super cool Wii. Maybe I'll even get the super cool Wii that Heather Armstrongs super cool butt actually sat on.
Rock on Super Cool Chick.
568. Maura said:
I know that getting in shape is something I need to do, and this could be the way to do it. Winning it from you would just be icing on the cake! Um...the lo-cal, frosting-free cake, though, I guess.
569. Laura said:
The Wii Fit ROCKS!!! Would love one of my own!
570. Natalie W said:
I am afraid of my Wii Fit age, but for that reason, I need it.

574. Jill said:
Hope your Mom picks some high numbers. I can't wait to see how many comments you finally get.
Hopefully something like this will help me get off the couch. I can't claim baby weight any longer since she's 2 1/2.
575. Lydia said:
Heck yes I'd love to get my Wii on!
576. dllavery said:
ohnoo...don't digg it! All those nerdy types have one already anyway. I asked.
577. Patricia said:
This is my first post on your page, I'm a secret reader. Ha! I find your smartness histerical.
I would love a WII cause maybe it would get my boyfriend off of his lazy butt, plus the WII looks like soo much fun.
Hopefully your loving mother will pick me. I can send her a gift if it would help in her number selection. lol.
578. Jessica said:
Yes, please!

I have a very cute kitty named Gus who reminds me of Chuck... weird huh? We would both love to play the Wii together. I have always wanted one and think that I could benifit finding out that my Wii age isnt 86, like i assume it would be (i am 25).
587. Carly said:
I would love to try the Wii and the Wii Fit. I joined Weight Watchers and a gym back in April of this year and the weight is just too slow coming off. Although I don't know if I can get my body in some of those yoga poses, but I'll sure try!
588. Wendy said:
I'm hoping a wii fit can help perk up my post-c-section belly.

Oh Crap. I have been reading your page for almost a year and I have never commented. I am a lurker. I am sorry :)
However, we had company this past weekend and at dinner, they were telling us Wii stories. Funny funny stories of clumsiness and adventure. We wanted to try it that night at home, but, because we are well-positioned in our 30's, we went to sleep instead.
Short story, I'd love to win a Wii from Dooce. Maybe I'd start commenting more and even come to a Doocevent or two. :)

I'm an Alaskan resident who goes to school in Boston. Does this mean I'm not eligible? I really want one, mostly to lift me from my depression over the fact that the Continental United States treats Alaska like a deformed reject incest baby that they keep locked in the attic.
But seriously. Am I ineligible?
