How to trick a Wii Fit



Recommended Posts

I don't know how many people use or want to use these. But they have some really good exercises you can do at home.

The problem with the Wii Fit is that it will not work if you weigh over 330 pounds. The actual hardware can support over 600 pounds but the software puts a 330 lb. limit on it.

So for me, at a starting weight of 408 lbs. I would not be able to take advantage of this tools. But there is a way around it.

If you put the Wii Fit platform on a soft blanket that will allow people over the 330 lb limit to use the unit. I have a blanket and I need to fold it a couple of times. It confuses the scale so it lets you play the game. Your weight specs will not be accurate but that is far less important then unlocking all the games & exercises it lets you do

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
