Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii-Fit Balance Board weight limit.

Well anyway my point is, people who are over 136Kg and are in good shape don't need Wii Fit, and people over that and not in good shape need more than Wii Fit.

But i suppose the point is that although Wii Fit isnt really going to help either of those two, they might want it because it looks fun.....So that's a much better reason for Nintendo to bring out a stronger board (at least in some parts of the world)

As for Japanese weights, a lot of weight comes from peoples extra height, but the Japanese are quite a short race of people so even the overweight ones (overweight being calculated using height as well as mass) don't weigh much.

I'm 260...a bit overweight. Not horribly though...most people would say I'm average. I am 6'2" after all. Of course...I could definitely transfer a lot of that weight into muscle instead of fat hehe.

 LOL Im 6'2 195 and I still have a little bit of fat in the gut. I think I am more along the line of average.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

I was told I should fight at 130 lb so I am guessing that for normal I should be less than that, i am 5' 6" for reference.

 Was going to say the same thing.  6'2 and 260 is obese, sorry.  I should know being 6'3 and 265.  Yes, you might not LOOK obese, but you are.

 5 6" is about 168 cm. 130 lb is about 59 kg.



So I guess I am around 6' 8'' = 192 Cm ?

 If you are to fight at 130 you should be in very good shape at 145-150 and you cut 15-20 pounds weight before the weigh in.

1.94 metres is tall,

for reference, 1.83m is 6 feet tall.....so 1.94m is 6'4''

i am 1.82m and weigh about 60kg (about 130lb....or a bit over 9st) i generally vary a bit but never more than a couple of Kg.

And to be classed as overweight you BMI has to be over 25.

to calculate your BMI you divide your weight (kg) by your height (m) squared (cm^2)

So my own BMI is 60/1.82^2 = 18.1 ......i am slightly underweight (i knew this anyway)

here is the chart showing what cateories you are in;
A BMI less than 18.5 is underweight
A BMI of 18.5–24.9 is normal weight
A BMI of 25.0–29.9 is overweight
A BMI of 30.0–39.9 is obese
A BMI of 40.0 or higher is severely (or morbidly) obese.

to change your weight from lbs to kg divide by 14 then times by 6.35 (there might be a better way)

to change your height from inches to metres divide by 100 then times by 2.56
