My kids which are older 23,24, 26 got my wife and I a Wii sports and Wii fit plus for Christmas I have not used it yet. I must be to lazy or I not really in to games. But maybe in the next few weeks I look into it. :thumbup:

Ive never been into video games either but when i needed to start working out, this was perfect! This is much more interactive then anything Ive ever seen, the woman actually looks a lot like me!

I also got Wii Fit Plus for Christmas, along with EA Sports Active. I must say, I love them both! I'm impressed with the workouts I get with them. They are different but each good in their own ways. In my opinion, EA Active is a little tougher, and Wii Fit is more entertaining.

I had plateaud for a couple months and was getting very frustrated. I started doing the two Wii game on Dec. 27th, and I've lost over 10 lbs. since then!

Wii Fit is a great way to get started in private so that you don't have to feel self-consious. EA Sports Active is actually pretty intensive and I highly recommend it. You can get better rubber bands at Best Buy or many other stores.

The games are really good to get you kick-started, but eventually you should reconsider joining a gym. You can take it to the next level there, and the ritual of going there, getting dressed and working out in that environment helps you stay motivated.

If the gym you went to is full of idiots, find another one. In my experience most gyms are very friendly and welcoming. Some gym rats get a little cynical this time of year because there are soooooooo many New Years Resolution types that will take over all the equipement for 2 months and then give up and disappear. But 99% will think it's cool you are there. After all, where else do you want to see a fat person than at the gym?

I was banded Jan 4, 2010, and just started working out a few days ago. I was going to go to Curves, but I was fortunate enough to find a local women's fitness place that has lots of equipment for just $10 a month - and no sign-up fee!!! ;) So my 13 yr-old daughter and I both signed up (although she is by no means overweight, just wants to tone up, as she is not into playing sports). I plan on working out 5 days a week there. I also walk at work, 30-40 minutes a day. Weekends will be either rest days, or I may do the Wii. Good luck to you all!

I got the Wii Fit Plus and ES Sports Active for Christmas also I've only used the Fit program in pick and choose activities. EA Sports I've done the canned workouts a couple time I enjoyed it but it beat my butt.

This weekend I got Walk It Out just used it for the first time by their calculation I walked 2.5 miles. It's fun and doesn't wear me out as much as EA Sports.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
