Walk everyday. As of today, I have lost 108 lbs since January. I quit drinking soda, quit eating white breads and pastas, quit eating fried foods, quit eating fast food. Started eating lots of fruit and vegetables. Lots of water Lots of whole grains. I weigh myself every day. Weighing every day is helpful because every time you gain weight, you can pinpoint WHY. (ie: 1 day I gained 3 lbs... the reason: Chinese Food. So I eliminated chinese food)
I was on the same boat as you... really frustrated with this limitation... until now... when I bouthg myself the EA Sports Active 2. I lost the extra pounds already and am ready to use my wii fit for the first time.... welll... but now... who needs a wii fit when we do have the EA Sports Active 2?
Bottom line, Nintendo has to state a weigh limit for the device. since it's advertised as a fitness device you'll have morbidly obese people trying to use it. Everything has a limit, bikes, chairs, ladders. If they didn't set a limit than they'd be on the hook for warranty replacements.
I've got one and I'm damn near 3 bills. Instead of being angry at Nintendo maybe you should be angry at yourself.
I see your point but they have to make a cut off point somewhere, if they were to raise the weight limit then the price would have to go up as well because of stronger materials needed. Why should people under 330 have to pay more?

I don't have it myself but I doubt wii fit is good to loose weight. But you could see the game as a good reason to loose some weight. Sry if you find me rude.
I weigh over the limit of the wii fit board requirement, it did upset me, it took me ages to try and find a way to around this because my mum and dad got it for me for xmas (today), I relise, the wii fit board is actually a scale, and scales can be fooled, so I got towel folded it a few times and I FOOLED IT!, so if you exceed the limit, don't be upset, I don't know how far you can fool it, i'm about 160kg+, so too thoses other fellow big guys out there, don't lose hope, good luck....
@bdsninja, please let me know how you get on, it won't give you the correct bmi or weight, but the excise side of it and the fitness games are enjoyable, a guy bigger than me used foam to put on the wii board.
well, you can try different pizzas, granted they shouldn't be those 5buck quick fix pizzas: you're just eating plain crap,
you can make bbq pizzas with bbq sauce chopped onions, parsley and some pre cooked bbq chicken you can find in the freezer aisle, cheese and cut bread, bake to bubbling goodness at 350 degrees
or you can go with the "broke bastard" diet which consists of eating pb&j everyday like my best bud Gary, he lost over 40lbs
hey, just got back on my account and i've been dieting for the last 2 weeks... I am about 5 or 10 lbs from gettin on the wii fit! woot! well, good luck to you too! cya!
it does definitely suck, i'm over the weight limit too!I was over at my brother in law's and i was totally embarrassed when i got on it!!!! i figure there wouldnt be a weight limit...but there are a few videos on how you can do the wii fit being over the weight limit...you can check those out.. Well, good luck! :)
Hey fatty?? That is mean u want me to go beat them up for u ? LOL That is bull and to think I was going to go buy the wii fit but not any more LOL they call me fatty I will hunt them down LOL If I was u I would write them a lil letter and tell them they r just mad cuz they can't look as good as u do LOL
I wanted a WiiFit too, but a bum's checkbook has better balance than I do, so that'd be a "no" for me.
Your ideas and want to lose weight are great, and I love the "...if I'm willing to lose the weight at the gym..." and the quote about how America (for the most part) is obese (I forgot the words you used) were perfect.
Snub the WiiFit makers, go to a gym to "skinnify" and then do an ad for TV that's something about "Not sure how WiiFit sees 'fit', but this is how *I* see fit!
Too heavy?!? .. And this little piggy went Wii Wii Wii ..all the way home. (sorry).
I know a guy who cut pop out of his diet and walked 2 miles a day. He lost weight..slowly..but he lost. Walking and doing ninja stuff might be up your alley. Also modify your diet...but do not starve yourself.
Trust me Joey.. Wii fit is not all it's made up to be.
First off if anything it will maybe make a slim person more toned.. If they do alot of the yoga exercises and other drills. But as far as the fun games?!?! I doubt it would help anyone drop weight like if you were to work out in a gym. I used wii fit for like 3 months ... and I didn't notice much of a difference. Where as when I used to work out on a elliptical for 30 min a day I dropped like 15 pounds in a month. Wii fits more for fun.
I'm not saying you would never lose any weight using it I am sure you would but it would be a very slow process. You would lose alot more weight going for a short jog when you get up... or getting some kinda workout device. Ellipticals are great cause you can have them around a tv and watch your fave show while working out and boom your done. =D
I really think they designed wiifit cause kids just wanted to sit around and play video games sooo ppl thought.. IF we design this parents will buy it
Also - today was the 1st day that little voice on the Wii Fit didn't say "YOU'RE OBESE!" or "YOU'RE OVERWEIGHT!" It told me I was "NORMAL". lol.

i don't get that the plastic board is rated to 660lbs before it *could* snap, it's the wii fit soft ware that limits it to 330lbs or 150kg
