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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
