No, I get it. My only point was that I don't think your weight has anything to do with the pedals. It takes a certain amount of upward/downward force to move the bike. The only thing that your weight would affect would be that it may take a little more force to move the total mass of rider/bike. I think you are totally safe. I'm down to 230 and only ride with SPD's. Pedals and shoes have both held up since 1997. Go for it...you're fine.
