In addition to what has already been mentioned above (Zumba & Kinect Sports), I see my kids really get sweating to Dance Central, which can probably had pretty inexpesively.

Dance games are not for me, though. For most strait white guys, there's only one reason to dance, and weight loss isn't it! lol :D

Arcus, what about sport or fitness games for kinect? They're just as good.

Ok we have the Xbox K here but I get board with the games. I have game fly saves me a lot of money lol. I have the 3 game set up and my teens have there own Xbox so they get a game and so do I when I'm bored with it I send it back and get a different one. They have wii, Xbox , ds all Systems. Huge money saver coz if you hate it send it back get a new one lol with out spending 60$ a game lol.

While I'm not a sleever yet, I thought I'd reply .. I have a program on the WII called 'Walk It Out'. I LOVE it. I work from home, so can walk right in my own house, in any sort of weather. You walk/jog in place to a wide variety of music with different beats, while clicking on things on the screen to create/build your town.

While not for those advanced movers, if you're just getting started moving .. this game is great!

There's a new Nike Training game coming out for the Kinect, it looks like it may give a good work out, I tried the Your Fitness Evolved and I like it, it makes you sweat. I want to try Zumba on the Kinect too.

Is Zumba for Wii fun? What would you recommend? Does Zumba use the Wii balance board?

I have had Zumba for months and couldn't figure out how to get points. I tried it again a few days ago and I am so addicted. I have the Zumba 2 and also Just dance 3. Both really work you out.

What's better? Zumba 1 or 2?

      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.
