My kids which are older 23,24, 26 got my wife and I a Wii sports and Wii fit plus for Christmas I have not used it yet. I must be to lazy or I not really in to games. But maybe in the next few weeks I look into it. :thumbup:

Ive never been into video games either but when i needed to start working out, this was perfect! This is much more interactive then anything Ive ever seen, the woman actually looks a lot like me!

I also got Wii Fit Plus for Christmas, along with EA Sports Active. I must say, I love them both! I'm impressed with the workouts I get with them. They are different but each good in their own ways. In my opinion, EA Active is a little tougher, and Wii Fit is more entertaining.

I had plateaud for a couple months and was getting very frustrated. I started doing the two Wii game on Dec. 27th, and I've lost over 10 lbs. since then!

Wii Fit is a great way to get started in private so that you don't have to feel self-consious. EA Sports Active is actually pretty intensive and I highly recommend it. You can get better rubber bands at Best Buy or many other stores.

The games are really good to get you kick-started, but eventually you should reconsider joining a gym. You can take it to the next level there, and the ritual of going there, getting dressed and working out in that environment helps you stay motivated.

If the gym you went to is full of idiots, find another one. In my experience most gyms are very friendly and welcoming. Some gym rats get a little cynical this time of year because there are soooooooo many New Years Resolution types that will take over all the equipement for 2 months and then give up and disappear. But 99% will think it's cool you are there. After all, where else do you want to see a fat person than at the gym?

I was banded Jan 4, 2010, and just started working out a few days ago. I was going to go to Curves, but I was fortunate enough to find a local women's fitness place that has lots of equipment for just $10 a month - and no sign-up fee!!! ;) So my 13 yr-old daughter and I both signed up (although she is by no means overweight, just wants to tone up, as she is not into playing sports). I plan on working out 5 days a week there. I also walk at work, 30-40 minutes a day. Weekends will be either rest days, or I may do the Wii. Good luck to you all!

I got the Wii Fit Plus and ES Sports Active for Christmas also I've only used the Fit program in pick and choose activities. EA Sports I've done the canned workouts a couple time I enjoyed it but it beat my butt.

This weekend I got Walk It Out just used it for the first time by their calculation I walked 2.5 miles. It's fun and doesn't wear me out as much as EA Sports.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
