I haven't tried it myself but ive heard a lot about Bodyrocktv.com. Its supposed to have all sorts of FREE workouts you can do at home. Ive also heard of Insanity Workouts. We did get the Tony Horton 10 minute Trainer a long time ago, tried it a few times and really felt like a strong workout. We don't do it anymore as we have no room to do it but it was a good workout. Maybe look into some of them, or see if your local library has workout videos. etc. Good luck !

I love playing Dance Central on XBox. I keep playing to beat my score. It makes exercising fun. I also, like Hip Hop Abs.

I had a Wii and now have a WiiU. I like it for a mild workout like Wii Fit (tracks my weight and progress). Then I have work workout games like Zumba for more intense cardio (and boy it will get you sweating). I have several friends with XBOX kinect who love it too though.

We have both but the wii fit has a weight restriction so I can't use it at my current weight.... :( I can still do the just dance games on wii though, the xbox games are fun. The wii games are easier to cheat on but with the xbox connect it is a camera sensor so no cheating lol.

We have XBOX360 with Kinect and it is such a blast! Not needing to hold controls is a plus, the minus is the Kinect needs a little more room as you cannot be too close to the TV. I have used the Wii and it is fun as well... if price is a factor, you can probably get a Wii for cheaper.

Does the Wii have as large a variety of exercise specific titles? I know the 360 has many great titles plus the various dancing and action/sports games.

      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?
