I would go with the Xbox Kinect. I enjoy it better and actually feel I get a workout. My daughter and I do the wii just for fun. Most places actually have a special now 250 for the Xbox and Kinect. (Started my Christmas shopping noticed all the good deals :-) )

Yes I use a game called "my body coach 2" for wii. It's pretty good it has 2 dumbbells that you put the wii remotes in and use them in the workout. It also recommends programs to suit your goals eg weightloss, toning etc. oh yeah and it has meal plans

We have had a Wii, and the Wii Sports was fun! I have had a good workout with it. We also have an Xbox and I have Kinect Sports 1 and 2. With the Kinect Sports 2, I have played tennis and boxing. Tennis is moderate, but that boxing, woo! I am drenched with sweat, that one really works me out, or my kids like the track and field. I just purchased another fitness game called Your Shape Evolved, it's supposed to be the best fitness game, so I heard, but I haven't tried it yet. There is also zumba on the xbox too.

Thanks to ALL who answered me! I started playing it today and only lasted 10 minutes on a slow walk around the track. :(. Tomorrow will be better and eventually I can move up to fancier games.

:-)

Thanks!

I have had a lot of gym memberships and have worked with personal trainers and I have never felt that I have gotten a better workout than with Wii Fit...My abs, thighs, butt, and arms all hurt in that good, after work out way...Plus you can do it at home, there is a variety of exercises, and you can watch your progress on their scale graph...I am going to work that into my workout to keep it interesting!

I use the wii fit plus and the Zumba and both give me a run for my money!! Zumba burns more calories but wii fit plus makes me more sore the next day! Definitely worth 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.
