Wii Fit!!!



Recommended Posts

That is all.

Seriously though, my wife and I have been using Wii Fit (and now Wii Fit Plus) for years, and it is a lot of fun. Living in Vermont, it really wasn't feasible for us to get outside and exercise most days...and to be honest, when I'm trying to lose weight I'm not over-eager to do it in public!

Anyway, there are a lot of little activities that are a blast, but I found what worked for me best was doing more long-form workouts (running, cycling, boxing, or my yoga/strength training fitness routine/batch/playlist). I could just zone out, forget that I was working my butt off, and enjoy an audiobook, podcast, tv show, or movie to pass the time.

Just wanted to throw that out there! :)

Even though I don't use it as much as I should, I love my wii fit. I like doing Free Step while i watch tv. The MJ Experience dance game is a fun way to work out too.

I completely forgot about free step! I used to do that while I watched shows. It was a lot of fun, but I got super lazy with it and wasn't really getting my heart rate up -- my own fault. I switched to cycling and running because if I get sloppy it really shows in my final score, so it forces me to keep moving.

... I love Wii Fit! :D

Anyone tried the chicken? I just flew in, and boy are my arms tired! :P

I was super bummed that just as I got into working out again and bought Wii Zumba my Wii broke! Super bummed. And they're coming out with a new Wii around the holidays, so we have to wait. :(

My condolences! Ours stopped reading discs late last year. We eventually got a new one (good deal at Walmart), but it was interesting doing our imaginary Wii Fit in the mean time, since at that point we had been doing it for so long we had almost everything memorized! :P

I love using Walk It Out for Wii. You walk around an island, collecting points for every step. Then you use the points to buy buildings, tree, etc. to build up the island. It keeps walking from getting boring.

      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.
