  • Awwww

  • I was 20 pounds over the weight limit. (At 350) I used cardboard instead of foam. I'm now 286!!! Your gonna think I'm a nerd, but I take the Wii-board (yes, the board only) on trips and VaCa's and do 1 hr of Step-Arobics. Have you lost enough weight to use it normally now? Just curious.

  • That's really really helpful! I'm not over the limit but it might even be a good idea for people who just want their board to last longer!

  • Awesome job man, I'm really glad that you've found a way to still play this rather fun, and healthy game ^^ I'm hoping if you're doing it for the benefits, it's managed to help that you've found this loophole around the system, Power to you!

  • i have trouble with the heading game, the boards too sensetive

  • There are people out their who are very tall, 330lbs doesn't seem overweight for some and there are big muscle bound people as well. Wii Fit is rubbish though. Its just for the kids.

  • Thank you for this great idea! I too am OVER WEIGHT (eat it bitchez) I bought this to lose weight only to realize that i am 45ibs to heavy! At least i was trying. I am glad you found a way to help out the bigger people who are taking initiative to burn the weight off! <3 thank you unkmaster!

  • Thank you. Ignore any and all negative comments. People should try to find the good in everyone vs. the bad. Everyone is worth knowing, everyone matters, we are brothers and sisters in the eyes of God. Satan loves it when people are mean and cruel...for those of you that are...ask yourself why it is that you want to make Satan smile?

  • I used this method, and now I'm 26 pounds UNDER the weight limit ^_^

  • Yes, thanks for sharing the info to use this wii fit .

    How thick is the foam padding? I hope I did not read past it.

  • Thank you for posting this! I'm just under the weight limit and still nervous about purchasing this but I need something to help me set some new goals. (I've lost 90 pounds already!) Thanks for having the guts to post this and good luck to you on your goals, whatever they may be.

  • thanks for this, instead of the foam I used a pillow which also worked. I didn't know where I could get foam so I got a thin pillow. thanks for giving me the idea to give it a shot.

  • Stop comparing these assholes to ten year olds! My child is only six and has more class and empathy than these haters.

  • I guess foam would work (depending on what kind). cutting a hard surface to that shape would probably cause the Balance Board to overheat.

  • My husband and I are both in the obese category and I got this to work on losing weight. I'm able to use it at 280 but my husband (weight unknown) was not. We will have to try this. I don't know why people are so mean about larger people using this and telling them to do something else. The only way to lose weight is to add excersize and this has me up and moving and I can do it at home

  • @graygraysmama Best of luck to both you and your husband. Let people hate. Just shows how ignorant they are. Its because of people like them that obese people want to workout at home. If the world was more accepting then maybe we would be proud to go out and work out.

  • I was RIGHT at the weight limit. I touched the table beside me during the "weight" parts and Vola! Lost about 75 lbs so far due to the Wii Fit alone

  • What a great idea! Thank you for posting this for everyone. I do not have any issue using the board due to my weight but I know many people that do. It was really nice of you to post this for everyone to see. Anyone criticizing is ignorant. A device created for weight loss should be available to all people.

  • Thank you for showing how to adjust the Wii Fit so that almost everyone can use this devise. Weight loss is a slow process, but with the adjustment, it can be a bit more enjoyable with the Wii Fit programs. Thank you for sharing this information.

  • Americans (or "We") are not fatter than Japanese people... you are. Being less than 300lbs is not being "super healthy" or "super skinny." As a matter of fact, if you are finding it necessary to make makeshift supports for balance boards, maybe a gym membership, personal trainer, and smaller food portions are in order.

    That 45 lbs you're over could be dropped in like 3-4 months by just eating proper sized portions and no fast food.

  • @leptoid Im pretty sure he said that as a joke, and at least he is making an effort. If youve never been obese then you wont understand what its like going out in public especially trying to go to somewhere like a gym people judge you. The wii fit is a way for him to work out at home where he wont be judged.

  • I'm suprised his BMI is finite.

  • Awesome video! Thank you so much for the tip! I shall be using it :)

  • nothing hard about putting the foam on the ground dude your breathing as hard as a dog. But other than that very useful

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • "Bread knives." Even the tools he uses are for food.

  • nice video man

  • Good video! Thanks for sharing your discovery, I'm sure many have benefited from your tip. Keep up the good work!

  • Since when is 300 pounds super skinny? I know people that are 6'5" and weight well under 250. Good the guy for trying but he needs a more direct method involving diet. With wii fit you work up a sweat but does not compare to the gym. Id say its more of a tool to not gain weight more than a tool to lose weight. Some people don't mind being overweight if thats the case then this works them them but I think the 300lb limit is very fair.

  • Thanks for sharing this tip. I was pretty disappointed when I purchased wii fit to help lose weight and I couldn't use it because I exceeded the weight limit. I'm glad I can now use this to help in my weight loss (54 lbs so far). Don't get discouraged by all the negative haters, they are just insecure about themselves and need to downgrade others to feel better about themselves.

  • I hope you're doing well! I remember watching this video a year ago - just showed this to one of my friends to help him out as well.

  • i look down to see how many people tried this method and had it work. I guess I was taken back by how many of you people are complete douchebags. least this guy is trying to help people who are overweight be able to do a fun healthy exercise so they can be less overweight.

    It is a pretty lame move to dawg on someone for being overweight. Maybe they should put an age restriction on youtube to keep 10 year olds from posting.

  • @Darkerfullmetal I don't mind people bashing criticizing me but.. the problem I have is when they repeat the same insult when I explained this stuff to them already. just shows it's stupid trolling.

  • @Darkerfullmetal You do know 10 year olds can lie about their age right?

  • Thats a great idea..thanx for sharing :)

  • Quit hating guys. Fucking trolls. If you think hes so fat, who cares? Looks like he posted the vid up and most of you have no vids, showing that his self-esteem is obviously higher than yours. NuFF NuFF JiGGly PuFF.

  • That poor balance board

  • What were the results? I'm over the weight limit myself. I'm not trying to make fun of you but I want to know if the board deteriorated faster than normal even with the padding. I don't want to have to buy a new board every six months. Thank you for your response! :) Maybe a bunch of us could get together and start a campaign to get Nintendo to make a better board...

  • I am a physical therapist & work with all sorts of people to help them gain physical health. I have love & compassion for all people, regardless of their race, age, religion, size or physical limitations. Most of my clients are recovering from surgeries as I contract out from three orthopedic surgeons, but my clients range in size & I will definitely pass on information that I've learned from this video. Here's to a fitter world!!!

  • For those who can't help themselves acting like 10-year-olds. it's truly sad you've not matured any since then. When you learn to love yourself you will stop being hateful to others. When you become injured from any one of the curve balls that life throws your way and you lose the ability to workout properly or the medicines you must take bring on drastic weight gain or your endocrine system won't regulate your metabolism correctly, etc, etc, etc, ..you will get insults from others like you.

  • And unlike the brave man who did this video, you are faceless cowards here, and others insults will sink deeper into your thin shallow egos. What you throw into the universe will come back at you. karma will bite you in the end. Perhaps I will even be your therapist at that time to help you regain health. Don't worry I won't be hateful to you when you are fat; I have strong character.

    To all here who have maturity, congratulations on making the world a better place for everyone.

  • UseMyLoopyPoopy - aren't you special. I could explain it to you, but I can't give you the ability to comprehend it. Just by the name you chose for yourself, we all realize your maturity level is stuck at 10.

  • At 1:13 He looks like a hamster lol

  • ive been trying to use it. i was like aww swole. it called me fat XD

  • making fun of people is stupid fuck u who cares if hes over weight good for him he found a way to use his wii W/O breaking an expensive item and he can lose weight using it you stupid scrawny ass fucks that think you can say whatever you want well u know what im glad there are ppl like him brave enough to stand up in front of morons like u to try and help out with ppl who want to lose weight and are too heavy for the game, I got hit by a car and have a hard time are you gonna make fun of me to?

  • @brooke75230

    wow, you're smart. it's just because you're fat isn't it?

  • Thank you for posting this video! I too exceed the weight limit for the board, which was disappointing. It's quite easy to see by the rude comments on this screen how hard it is to go out in public and do a workout. Even walking around the block gets me all kinds of rude comments and stares! My son helped me out and we managed to tape some carboard into the shape you described, and now I too can work out at home! Thank you so very much!

  • VERY INTELIGENT :D

  • u r so smart!

  • That is because Japan doesn't have people weighing more than that

  • how are you doing on your Wii Fit? I've been using mine for a year without a steady diet and lost about 22 lbs, This year I'm incorporating Weight Watchers.

  • American's are much fatter than everyone! =P

  • ...5:11 to explain, get towel/foam what ever, place under wii balance board, weigh yourself hey pesto, 20lb lighter,

    thicker towel /foam more weight is lost

    recommend taking a towel and fold enough to get just under the recommend weight 330lb or 150kg, then using that for your measurement. 

  • @arman425

    Nope just fat!

  • @mrabtruse i love you tho <3 u make awsome vids :D

  • @arman425

    Aren't you special. What are you 10-years-old? You're name-calling a guy because he works out & is smart enough to have found a way around a weight limit. Says a lot about you, doesn't it? You have such low self-esteem that the best thing you've found to pump up your ego is to insult another person. Maybe if you had his ambition, intelligence, & a desire to inspire others you could have a life, get a girlfriend, and develop some character. Until then, sling insults.

  • @arman425

  • @arman425 shut up you dick wad!!

  • @arman425 no... no he's not. Exercise implies there is some effort involved. I don't think putting a piece of foam on the ground can be considered exercise, even if he did get really out of breath doing it.

  • @bobbyewing311 not really I took advantage of this and thought well... "a idea!"

  • Comment removed

  • @bobbyewing311 SHIT I MEANT TO DISLIKE THIS COMMENT NOT LIKE IT IM NOT AN ASSHOLE U R IM SORRY AHHH

  • yu can all ready break it

  • thank you. your a doll for this :D

  • YES!! If the Wii Fit can be adapted to where it helps you DO IT!! Do whatever it takes to get healthy. Bear in mind the device may fail. But it's worth the try to get your lie back. Good luck & God Bless!

  • We aren't fatter, you are.

  • Thank you for posting this information! Good luck with your program.....You're doing great....Keep us posted with your successs !!!

  • Great Job! My buddy is at least 350 and hasn't been able to play Wii Fit. I'll let him know of your technique. Thanks again.

  • Thanks man, earlier i was looking for ideas on how to play wii fit without bending the board and this actually works, it slips a little though, but it does work and that is all that matters.

  • Very kind of you to post this for others. Hope you're doing well with it! :)

  • OK shut the fuck up ST2687. Why do you come here and insult this guy. He's clearly helping others who are over weighted. If you don't like fat people then why in the hell are you watching this video that clearly says what it is in the title.

  • los gringos estan bien gordotes

  • Fatty.

  • @UseMyLoopyPoopy

    Stupidy

  • Alrighty....for everyone here.

    If your fat and ok with it. theres nothing wrong.

    Skinny samething.

    But to everyone here who say "OMG its not my fault my glands dont work!"

    I have seen a young man with arms the size of an infants get a sports scolarship for baseball and football.

    If you got legs idgaf how messed up your glands are. You can achieve a healthy

    Body Fat Percentage. My glands are messed and you wanna know how much i weigh? 135 pounds thanks to hard work and setting goals.

  • @dynablade1

    Well I'm not sure how old you are, but I'm assuming 17+ and 135 isn't exactly healthy either. I weighed 185 in highschool and after I got out I started losing tons of weight. I now weigh 145 and I kinda want some over the weight back.

    People that know me ask if I'm eating correctly and stuff. So it's kind of annoying.

  • @dynablade1

    Aren't you special.

    Don't judge others when you DO NOT have the same genetics, hormones, endocrine system, abuse, lack of support, blood sugar levels, high blood pressure, previous surgeries in your life, steroids, depression, etc. Learn empathy, it comes with building character.

    You said nothing of your gland problem, what it is, how it affected you, or what you did to counter it's effect. Hard to believe you even brought it up - since you're not here to help others. Thanks

  • go to a real gym what the fuck man. leave the guy alone people.

  • Comment removed

  • omg 3:09 man boobs ...lol

  • @SuperGuitarhero5

    boob for brains .....lol

  • Thanks for posting this! I'm doing this first thing tomorrow so I can finally use my Wii Fit

  • good lord son!!!!!!!!what kind of stash do you hav in the background????

  • Thanks for the info Mrabtruse! I bought one tonight and it wouldn't work for me either, I do wrestling and boxing but i'm over 300lbs. so it doesn't work for me either lol. I'll try this out and keep it up man, you'll get it off. I was once your size, after working out alot I toned up, i'm just a large guy still. hell i think my bones weight 200lbs. by themselves lol. thanks again!

  • @ryki64 it's not my fault....It's glandular.

  • @ryki64

  • The limit is based on the sensors I think. You cant find a bathroom scale rated much higher easily either and the balance board is pretty much just a board with a scale under each corner.

    As to the hack... Feeling left out because of weight sucks and doing anything to get back in the game is fair, but... It still feels like cheating:P I'm fat too, tho I still fit in the weight limit. One of the reasons I got wii & its fit game it was to keep it that way.

  • Thankyou for this I got a WII fit for my birthday and was trying to hack it unsucsessfully, it really sucked getting somthing for my birthday that I was unable to use properly, it's frustrating because I am toeing the line either side of the limit, some days I am on the board and other days I am off! xxx

  • I find it rather sad how so many ppl are so fat. Not that I would manage better if I had started out fat but you could see the balance board as a reason to exercise.

    I mean if I was too fat to play e.g. a new zelda game I would definitely feel motivated to loose some weight.

  • Personally. I think the wiifit board should have had a 400-450 pound limit. If you can step on the board and move around on it without breaking it then THAT should be the max weight limit.. It should be a hardware weight limit NOT software.

  • err, why are you wearing shoes here while you're inside?

  • Wii uses Body Mass Index this take height Weight and Age, it does not take into account percentage of bodyfat , according to Wii i am obese even though my bodyfat is 15% bodyfat, my blood pressure, cholesterol, and resting heart rate are low. Only reason i am loosing weight is cause i am getting older and i wanna make it easier on my joints etc. so lets end the debate already BMI is one measure of health not the only one

  • Awesome fix! Thanks for posting this!

  • try a bicycle dude

    seriously.

  • Right, obviously muscle weighs more than fat. Great to see how open you are about your weight. Obviously sad to see you with such baggage but great innovation and keep it up sir =]. Get your metabolism up; can't stress this enough, good luck.

  • anywaysss..besides all this trolling , good job man im glad some ppl are actualy trying to get fit

  • 1:29 you sound like erine from sesamee street

  • Comment removed

  • Actually it was made for Americans --the 330 pound limit is exclusive to the US

    Japan has a 300 pound limit -they already knew to make it bigger back then

  • @Krazy769 I'm pretty aware of that.

  • @mrabtruse Are you aware that most fat people in the US are not over 300 pounds though? And no I am not being rude. I am fat and have high blood pressure. ^_^ But I am not over 300 pounds.

  • @StevenMProductions No problem I was parodying the Chinpokomon episode of southpark with the comparison thing.

  • @StevenMProductions

    Yes, you are definitely being rude. Are you aware of your 400 pound bad attitude? Are you aware that everyone has different genetics, different obstacles in life, different hormones, different physical abilities. You don't know this guy. You don't know how his body handle blood sugar, thyroid levels, if he's had surgeries on his feet, if he's had loss of loved ones, or any other myriad of tribulations you may not have encountered YET, in your life. Why are you so nasty?

  • how tall are you

  • 6 foot 3 inches

  • no dude most Americans aren't over 330 you fat ass

  • @gamermanj4 Than explain the consistent new reports about American obesity! because it was a joke!

  • @mrabtruse this was suppose to be a joke, where is the humor.

  • @ST2687 it's right there your just too blind to see it.

  • @mrabtruse ya but that doesnt mean 330

  • @gamermanj4

    9 million U.S. citizens are morbidly obese. I wonder how many he helps with his video. Probably more than you help with your rude comment. Aren't you special.

  • @ST2687 and you have no sense of humor :P

  • @ST2687 What about the muscular guys? they seem to be around 260 and above. I always tell people raw numbers me nothing.

  • @mrabtruse ok, if a guy is muscular, he must just go to the gym all the time and does not need wii fit. This guy is not muscular, he is pure fat.

  • @ST2687 Pure fat well... I can prove that. plus I do find some of the games fun. so meh.

  • @mrabtruse just laughing right now, because its seems that you are getting mad, from the last comment.

  • @ST2687 You cannot be all pure fat.

    That would be strictly impossible.

    However, it is possible for people like you to be full of shit.

    And these people really need to go stick a metal pole up their ass.

    Get my message ST?

  • @Zenotwapal

    meh he's just trolling around is all.

  • @mrabtruse He's a pretty bad troll.

    You cannot be "Pure Fat".

  • @mrabtruse It's fine if you want to do all of this to play a game. But please don't say that most Americans are above 330. That isn't seen often. It's seen more in America than anywhere else, but 330 is still morbidly obese.

  • @Roykidsego

    He NEVER said "most people in the U.S. are over 330". He's trying to help people on this planet. Despite what your mind thinks, there is more than just mrabtruse over 330. There are more than 9 million people in the U.S. who are morbidly obese. I wonder how many on the planet he is helping with his video? I wonder how many you helped with your comment? Obesity is seen often, except for the ones who become housebound or bedridden. He is wii-ing his weight down. Give props.

  • @brooke75230 He said that Americans are much fatter than Japanese people, and the Japanese didn't build it for Americans.

    That implies he thinks that most Americans are fat like him, while although we are fat, we are nowhere near him for the most part.

  • @Zenotwapal

    lol the joke went right the fuck over your head

    not the brightest bulb are ya

  • @AdventEdge

    Nah, I get the "joke"

    Its just not funny to insult people over the internet.

    Because your a pretty weak person if you do that anyway.

    Peace out niggas

  • Comment removed

  • @ST2687 you obviously have no clue about muscle mass.

    ...and it's YOU'RE not YOUR.

  • @ST2687 its people like you that make me want to barf :\

  • Thank you! I was thinking to get my dad a wii so he can work out at home but was concerned about the weight limit. This is a great trick!

  • dont let these immature people bring you down. keep up what youre doing. and thanks for the demo ! haha , dont let these people bring you down like i said. theyre immature and half of them are still in middle school..or on some middle school bullshit.

    < 3 : )

  • OKay, Mabey loose the weight and you dont have to go through with all this crap.

  • wow that is so smart!!! thanks for showing every one this trick.

  • that fat fuck iz so urbit i cant take it

  • @xFPSxGYPSYx

    Ok no need to swear young man. and what is urbit? lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

    <3

  • the best solution is EAT healthy and make sportz outside INSTEAD of playing in ur room Wii

  • anyone weighing less than 330 pounds is 'super skinny'

  • p.p.s. you fat

  • @WuTanGKiLLaZ

    so...

  • p.s. that crappy beard doesn't make it look like you actually have a chin

  • @WuTanGKiLLaZ

    so?

  • Wii don't fit into normal sized pants.

  • @WuTanGKiLLaZ

  • @brooke75230 im not 10, but yea, the rest is true. Sorry for being a dick man.

  • lmao you devised a solution to the wrong problem dude

  • where are you at in this vid btw its like half shoddy apartment half gatorade distribution center

  • @zuluhammer5788

    to answer you question! you wrong in all the wrong places this is the back of a old country store. Shoddy Apartment is a down right insult.

  • lmao

  • Everyone.

    Calm the fuck down.

    You calling somebody fat on youtube makes you no better than the next guy.

    Oh, and SamoXide, screw off, you have no right to be here.

  • yeah man you're not allowed to call someone fat i mean god ugh, freedom of speech, not freedom from speech

  • @MindlessExcess you are a retarded asshole I guess saying N*gg*r to all the african american/europeon is freedom of speech too. seriously though, he can also have is say so too. If you can call me fat he can call you assholes.

  • congrats you just compared racism to calling someone fat

  • @MindlessExcess yea I did! Be glad it was me and not a girl that might not be that skinny. It's not a problem being called fat at times. and I admit I was way too damn fat at the time. But twisting it around with that freedom of speech argument made me mad. Only because he was expressing his opinion about people that called me fat. If you wanted me really ruin you freedom of speech I could delete all negative comments.

  • @MindlessExcess

    Do you think insulting someones race is worse than insulting their weight? Or is it that you find it ok to insult a person who isn't black. hmmmm? What makes your insult ok and racism insults not ok?

  • "We are fatter." no sir you are fatter then most Americans. instead of investing your money in a wii fit that you need to ghetto rig to work with your fat ass use the money to invest in a month at a fitness center retard

  • fuck off man I'm tired of being nice! you shoud know it WAS A JOKE! It's a exaggeration about America getting fat. Plus I was referring south park in the famous Chin Pokemon episode where the japanese have small penis and americans have large ones. this was not about weight loss. this was about playing around thru limits of things.
