I got a Wii fit plus for Xmas too. I just bought Jillian Michaels game and tried it for the first time today. She kicked my butt! It has made a difference - I am moving. I am exercising. That is a huge change!;)

I have a Wii and the Wii Fit. I just got the Wii Fit Plus for Christmas. When I did use my Fit I found that my heart rate was up and I was getting a decent workout while having fun. I also got Dance Dance Revolution for the same thing to have fun while exercising. I'm hoping to make more use of it after my surgery, when it happens.

I went to the dr. on Tuesday (12/29/09) and that was one of the questions that I asked his nurse. She said that she have a Wii and the wii fit, and just upgraded to the wii fit plus. She said she did enjoy the different "games". I was considering getting one for myself as a late Christmas present because I told her that I DO need to be tricked into excercising :lol: I will let you know how it goes.

Yes! I see a difference. It helps me get my heart rate up there, the games are fun (meaning I'll continue with them), and it helps track calories burned as well as my weight and BMI.

I think that any exercise you can have fun with you are going to stick with. At least, for me I will.

I have been dying to get the Wii and Wii fit plus. I'm actually going today to buy one. I got some $$$ for Christmas so I'm finally able to at least buy the Wii. I'll have to wait to get the Wii fit plus though. Not enough funds for all of it.

I am thinking this will be better than joining a gym because every time I do I never go!

I have Wii Fit and Wii Fit plus. I also bought the Golds Gym one. And I want to get the Wii Active. Wii Active you use less of the Wii board and it's more cardio. I have seen a difference.

I have the EA Sports Active and the Active More Workouts. Both provide an excellent workout and have different levels from beginner to expert.

We found the Wii Fit Plus at Sams Club for about $80 in November. Hopefully, if you have one near you and are a member, you'll be able to find one there too for that price.

It's a lot of fun and doesn't seem like exercise at all until you feel it in your thighs!

My kids love it and I love they're up and moving instead of sitting and playing a game.

I got a Wii fit plus for xmas too. I LOVE IT!!! It seems like too much fun to be exercise but when i wake up the next day, I can definately feel my workout. Be sure to workout the next levels. Once you get good at one "game" you can move up a level. They are usually harder and longer. I "rode my bike" up hills for 30 mins the other night and I'm still feeling it. I recommend everyone get one. Its a great calorie, bmi and weight tracker too.:smile2:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
