Does anyone use one of these for exercise? I bought one today and had fun with it and got a heck of a workout trying to play tennis!

yes I use mine everyday. I play outdoor challenge against my kids. They are really competitive so I usually end up sweating and out of breath 2 hours later and still haven't won. LOL

I was playing the biggest loser game for Wii before i was in a car accident and that was REALLY helping! You work up a great sweat and it gives you an awesome workout. Its like the show and you have to complete challenges and so on and it keeps track of your progress of everything you're doing. Unfortunately I am unable to use it right now due to several broken bones, but as soon as I am able to I will definitely start using it again. Its very helpful and I would definitely recommend it!

We have a Wii and I recently got the Just Dance 2 game because my 11 yr old loves music so I thought this was something him and I could do together. Has anyone else tried this? And if so how much of a workout you get from that if any?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
