I read on LBT that someone put a towel under their wii board and it offset the weight. That way even though she was over the weight limit the wii didn't know she was and allowed her to play. Just a little trick you may want to try.

I say get on the board and use it. If it breaks take it back. I used mine when I was 390 plus lbs and it still works. They are built pretty good. I think they have to put a weight limit on them but really who cares. I used it and still do I am now 219 or a little less and mine is still good as new. so work a way and if it breaks TAKE it back.

My hubby and I bought the wii fit, and it means 330 as it's weight limit, including clothes. My poor hubby couldn't use it. It says that the weight limit has been exceeded and returns to the main screen.

I know people who have put a towel/foam under it and it seems to help tremendously. I would try that and then give it a go.

I got the Wii Fit Plus and Wii bundles for Christmas, after making it my #1 priority gift wish! When I first brought it home, I exceeded the weight limit...boo. I couldn't play Wii Fit Plus, but I *could* play Biggest Loser without the board. Now? I'm a little over 2 weeks post-op, have dropped 19 pounds and busted out the Wii Fit Plus again...it works! I was just a smidgeon over the 330 weight limit - it kicked me out the first time and wouldn't start up the Wii Fit Plus game (Biggest Loser wouldn't let me use the board either - but you can play that one without the board). I'm down to 319 now, though, so even with clothes...I work! Being able to use my new "toy" was definitely an initial motivator in my pre-op diet...and I'm glad I'm now banded and weigh a little less so I can use it!

I love my wii fit plus. I like the games on the board but there are also the great ones without the board too.

I also got wii resort. It has a lot of good games on there.

I just love the hoola hoop game and watching my daughter get in on the activity too. I feel like I am doing something positive for her by setting the example of getting up there and getting sweaty.

She does not know I had the lap-band surgery. She just thinks I am eating less and working out to loose the weight. So now she has started eating smaller portions and working out with me. It is great.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
