Recommended Posts

Wonderng if anyone here has any success working out using a Wii. Do you have a favorite activity or game that gives you a good workout?

I plan to once we buy one this year. I have seen the WII fit in action and it is a really good program. Just FYI for the larger people, the balance board only goes up to 325 lbs. If you are larger than this I would hold off on the purchase til you are smaller just because you dont want it to sit and draw dust.

I've had the wii fit for a while and it's a BLAST to use. :thumbup:

I do, however, think that if you're looking for something that's going to give you a tough, steady workout, you might look at something a little more cardio-oriented. The strength training and yoga things on there are awesome, though!!!

EA Sports Active is a great workout. The new version 2 comes out next month.

I have Wii Fit and EA Active... out of the two EA Active has a nice mix of everything and a good amount of cardio. I use Wii Fit for more of a fun 'off day' work out.

Funny you say that LOL I bought mine last year, black friday. Only to bring it home, get on it, and have it say "OOF!" when I got on, and tell me I was too fat to use it. I thought it was a 300 limit, now that I'm lower than 325, I'll drag it out again. :rolleyes2:

Congrats on hitting the WII milestone lol. Yeah My parents in law had bought one and I had went over to see what I thought about it and jumped on and about cried lol. The 300 weight limit was for the Japanese release of the WII, for us bigger Americans they bumped up the weight limit. Think it also had to do with the conversion of kg/lb lol.

Also Just FYI for anyone looking for the Wii fit bundle, Target is doing a Black Friday deal of the Wii Fit board + Wii Fit Plus sofware for 67$. I will update if I see any other deals on it.

      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.
