Weight limit for the wii fit board is 330. Which means I am still 65 pounds too heavy...bummer! :thumbup:

How sad is it that I have both a Wii and a Wii Fit and haven't even taken them out of the box? Now THAT'S the epidemy of LAZYYYYYYYYY! :thumbup: I think that I have put it off because I'm afraid that I will get addicted to it and start wearing smelly clothes and eating off of the floor because I won't be able to "hear" the washer and dishwasher calling me!

Ms. Shrink, an official diagnosis please? Do take into account that I am bi-polar (well-managed) and in a semi-manic stage at the moment. Great for killing the appetite, but really a bummer for all of the folks who have to listen to me talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. One would think that I'd be staying up all night with my beloved Wii?

My official diagnosis according to the DSM-IVTR is that you are displaying clinical deprevation of Wii interaction. Therapeutic recommedations include getting the wii out of the box and using it 30 minutes daily until symptoms resolve. The housework can wait. Trust me....:cry_smile:

I have a friend I was going to join the gym with but she doesn't go and she had hers done last yr. I love her but she has more excuses why she can't do thing than just doing them. I understand we all have things to do, but we have some kind of time in between to make for ourselves. Am I saying anything out of place or wrong for thinking that way. I have children she has them as well. We both work, we do have a lunch hour to get away. So we have to make the time. I know when I return to work Next week I will have an alarm on my phone to let me know to get up and move. lunch, Break, get up and move. I would sit at my desk all day and never take a lunch or eat, I wait until I got home and ate everything that was not good for me, and that is why I am here to day. Bad eating habits. I just want to make it work and succeed at it. This is the biggest and hardest goal I have set for myself and I have to do it. My size goal is a 10, if I go further down I will be grateful, but I want to dress in normal size clothes again. Last time that was when I was in Jr. High School.

I said when I reached my goal I was going to have a 40th birthday party although I am 40 now, I will Celebrate as if I just turned 40. I owe myself a party. Another yr older, new challenges and new changes. I want to embrasse it all.

Good for you.....You'll do it!:thumbup:

Hello, I have been here now for two months and just realized today that I have not properly introduced myself. My name is Dawn. I am married my wonderful husband on our four anniversary of dating. He is like a dream come true. He is the best thing that ever happened to my son and I. My son adores my husband and they have become best buddies.

My son is twenty two and lives at home with us. He works full time and goes to school. The biggest joke at times is he is the reason they wrote the movie "Failure to Launch." It really doesn't matter we love him being at home with us.

I am a trainer for a company that provides quality preschool services through corporate and franchised centers in the United States and eight other countries. I travel alot and I love my job.

I ventured out and lost a ton of my weight about eight years ago when my mother passed away in her sleep at the young age of 54. Then had some life touch backs three year later like a divorce, lost my father to cancer and a horrific car accident that left me a right hip reconstruction. Hence I slowly put the weight back on until I am here again, nice and fluffy. I want more mobility back and the lapband is the tool to help me lose that weight again and can more mobility. I was banded 8/8/08. I was lucky to have such a lucky date for my band anniversary.

I too have the Wii and I love it. My son bought me the Wii fitness board for my birthday right after I was banned. The scale is right on with the one at my doctor's office. I found the other games like boxing, bowling, and tennis can be just as active as the fitness board.

Since hanging around here at lapbandtalk.com, I have found some great people and I love reading everyone's success stories. Keep up the great work everyone!:thumbup:

      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.
