Personally I’m a size 12 shoe at 250 lbs. and haven’t been having any trouble with the size of the board. I can see how if someone was much bigger though it could be a problem.

As for weight limits I find the 350lbs to be quite generous. Not that long ago I was getting very close to 300lbs when I decided enough was enough and had to lose weight. I wanted to change my metabolism more than my eating habits. The problem was finding low impact exercise equipment rated for someone over 250lbs. I had to lose weight with dieting before I could even consider buying an elliptical. The elliptical was it’s own reward. I think the Wii Fit might be the same way for some people and 350lbs is a much more reasonable goal imo.

I also loved the morph of the Mii to match your stats. Looking at a little porky me on the screen is a great motivator. We even made a Mii for our 3 year old who loves to do the yoga and aerobics exercises. Our 10 year old who is under weight has been loving the strength exercises to build muscle.

With the Wii Fit Channel installed you can even check in when you don’t have time to train. It’s great for tracking diet progress too.

I’m with you. This one is a winner. I just wish there was a way to automatically tie in activity from Wii Sports as well since some of those games can give you a decent aerobics workout too.

You can find the ‘activity Log’ by starting on your Calendar Page. Then you select Graph at the left of the calendar.

On the Graph select the Fit Credit button and then select activity log.

There you can log in all your non-Wii Fit activities.

I think the most disturbing thing when I set up was the animated balance board. It’s not so much that it’s animated, it’s the weird, cute, little voice that they gave it (especially with it saying “That’s obese” when it measures your BMI).

In all I like it, though I haven’t been able to find the Work-out Journal (I wanted to enter the 1.5 hours of Fencing I did, but I haven’t found a way to do so). I make an effort to do at least the Yoga exercises every day. Really, I have two goals: I want to not be obese (healthy would be best, but my current goal is “Not obese”), and I’m trying to be a little bit healthier for fencing (starting tournaments at the end of June, and balance and endurance both could use a bit of improvement… that’s what I get for taking 5 years off).

Thanks for the review, Chatty. I really hope that more people pick up this thing. I, personally, think that it’s great.

Plus Wii Ski is already out and it uses the Balance Board as the main input device.

Oh and I also learned that a Wii can handle up to 10 Wireless controllers such as the Wiimotes and the Balance Board, so no issues for families with a full set of Wiimotes.

My bad… that will teach me to post while Dave is away at a Con.
