I'm an overweight diabetic and I use Wii Fit plus (fairly) regularly, I also monitor my general activity with Walk with me for the DS. I also have to take bloodsugar measurements and keep a food diary etc,

I would like to combine all this info in one place, i know I can add things like the number of steps I do each day in the activity log, but then I lose the breakdown of when and how long for etc. Does anyone know of any software that can take the wiifit data and move it in a usable form onto a PC?

Ideally I would like to create a 'Health Diary', I'm sure this would be useful for other conditions requiring monitoring, blood pressure springs to mind.

Any ideas????

Hi there

Well you could try a site I created for exactly that sort of thing :) I created it to help me lose weight by recording what I eat, my weight, exercise, sleep, and even how much coke I drink (i.e. too much!)

It's called Graphomatic and it lets you record and graph anything you want.

You can see some of the things I record on my public dashboard. You can choose what is public and what's private (there are a few graphs that you won't find on my public dashboard).

You can even embed individual graphs on web-pages (and I'm working on a Facebook app to do the same on your profile page), for example this is my weight graph...



There are still a few rough edges, and I'm actively working on it, so if you do use it, let me know how you get on, what works, what doesn't, if you have any problems with anything.

I'm trying to make it as easy to use as possible, so it would be great to have some feedback from other people about features they would like to see.

Unfortunately you cannot get the data off the Wii and out of Wii Fit unfortunately. I was really hoping that Wii Fit Plus would add this, but sadly that feature is still absent. I think it's a really big omission by Nintendo, and a missed opportunity.

There are people trying to work out how to get the data out, but it appears to be encrypted :(

I just enter the numbers manually as it only takes a moment to do. Having it on the web makes it easy for me to use at home, at work and even out and about if you have a smart phone or an ipod.

There is software that you can use to plan a diet or monitor your eating habbits it is called food wisse. It gives you a nice pie chart and everything. You could bye a used nutrition text book with it.
