My husband is buying me one tonight. Do you have any suggestions on what games would be good for some exercise. I'm down from a 24-26 to 14's but I have very bad back from neck and back surgery but would like to do some exercise. Just can't do the rough kickboxing type stuff. Thanks for your input ahead of time.

Hugs,

Sherri

I love doing yoga but my ymca is 20 miles away and I am driving a diesle (sp?) truck...OGH. I have stopped going and I have just been walking instead. Let me know if you do the yoga. I don't have a Wii but I will get one and cancel my ymca membership if it works.

Thanks

OK VV's!! I got the Wii Fit today. Actually I got two of them. I thought my BFF wanted one, but she picked one up too! Let's get that thread started! I am going to play with it today, I wouldn't even know how to do the challenge.

Melanie, maybe we can work on that today!!!

Tara, if you haven't found one, I have an extra. I don't know if it worth it with shipping, but maybe! Let me know!!

I love love love my Wii Fit. I have a little competition going with my family on who can do the most spins in hoola hoop. We have all (6 of us) opened up the 10 minute work out for that and boy is it hard. We are into the balance games and the aerobics games, haven't tried the yoga or strength training yet, not much competition there. Can you tell we are a gaming family.

So I don't have a wii, does that matter, or do I need the wii with the wii fit?

Can I just buy the wii fit?

Thanks Michelle, I will try to look into the shipping and find out.

Gotta have the Wii system. I just might break down and buy one. Guess it's a good thing I have a video game freak for a son. :)

Add me to the list of those loving the Wii Fit! I especially like the yoga, boxing and step aerobics. A Wii Fit Challenge would be awesome.

I just bought the wii console, but don't have the wii fit yet. I looked at the demos for yoga on the website, and tried a few of the poses. Turns out that I can't even balance on one freakin' foot anymore! How in the world am I supposed to do yoga? Can someone make a suggestion regarding which game(s) to buy for a balance challenged old lady? LOL!

The Wii Fit has a lot of games to help you build up your balance. For positions that require you to balance on one foot, you can start out using a chair or the wall (or another person even) to support yourself until you get stronger. I started out having to use a chair and now I'm able to balance on one foot for short periods of time. :embaressed_smile:

      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.
