Unhappy Weight & balance (again??)

I've no doubt that this has been raised in the past, so if anyone wishes to refer me back to a previous thread, please do so. I have calculated the W&B for a PA28 Archer and established that with 4 up we will be about 200lbs over weight. The balance is ok. What are the legal implications of operating the aircraft like this? I am aware of the safety aspects and prepared to fly over weight in good conditions, but not if there are any doubts, i.e., cross winds, short fields, etc....
