Mii Wii Fan

[mik3cap]

I am a Wii fanboy, this is true. This is why I am really curious about the Wii Balance Board, and why I want to find out what its weight limit is. You may or may not be aware of my hefty stature - I am currently around 280 pounds (down from an all time high of 340) but I don't know how much that will ultimately go down, as I'm working on building up my muscles now and seem to be at a plateau as I'm getting leaner.

I caught a single indexed post on Google from Gizmodo Australia that stated that the board may have a limit of 250 pounds. I wonder if Nintendo made them take that post down? If that's the true limit, I will be very sad... I may be able to lose 30 more pounds eventually. It'll probably take me until next Summer to get there though.

Gah.

Losing weight SUCKS.

I am de-chubbing myself right now and there' no more room to give.

I walk, I eat extremely healthy and I am still, according to those damned height/weight charts, fat.

stoopit charts...*kik, kik*

don't forget to count in saftey factors. If they say 250 it has probably been tested and proven at 300 or better. but to cya they've put the weight down to 250 to avoid replacement costs. (300lbs only gives it a safty factor of 1.2, this is closer to the airline industry than the toy manufacturers.)
