I went out and bought Wii Active today, and love it. I haven't worked out in about 8 months, and I really wanted to give this a whirl.

Least to say, I am impressed. I just did the easy 20 minute cardio work out, and broke a sweat. It felt good even with my ankles and knees popping like crazy. I know I'll hurt tomorrow, but I plan on doing this 3-5 times per week. . .

How fun Tiff. My son and DIL brought their Wii over last Saturday and they had a new game pack - it had bowling, table tennis, golf, sword fighting, archery and several others - I think like 16 in all -- they played a few as did Bearded and it seemed like a real work out. I know there are those at work that SWEAR by the yoga, etc. Bearded and I don't even have a Wii (probably one of the few in the world) and when I suggested it, Bearded just gave me 'the look' ... so I guess I'll stick with working out at my friends, and re-incoporate my walking DVDs, pilates and bike riding. Keep us posted on your progress!

I'd like to have a WII. they are pretty spendy and then you have to pay extra for the WII active.

I smashed up my car so my extra money is going to go to getting it fixed:mad0::thumbup:

Daisy, how did you smash up your car? Are you okay?

I thought about getting a wii, but it just isn't in the budget right now. I don't think we would use it much anyways. Plus, we go to the gym.

Sounds like fun Tiff!

A friend at work was just telling me about this! He's a thin guy and said that it is a real work out! Just don't think I'd use it... my son has a Wii maybe I'll just borrow his :drool5:

We have a Wii & love it. The kids enjoy the games & dh and I do, too. Wii Active is on my wishlist, but unfortunately it's not in our budget right now. I'm glad to hear you like it, though.

I never thought we'd use ours, but we love it. It's great because it's so interactive, and we can all play unlike the other systems out there.

We have the Wii Sports with bowling, boxing, and tennis, and a few others, it's so much fun. I'm not a big gamer or anything, but the Wii offers so much.

I mowed the back yard yesterday, and weedeated around the house, so I didn't work out last night. But, tonight, it's on again.

I am fine, just a little mad at myself for being dumb. My friend has a little brick flower box next to herdriveway. They had their trailer parked on the driveway. My car sits really low to the ground and I didn't see it. I was being careful trying not to hit their trailer.

The flower box is toast.

Tiff, maybe I will have to reconsider it once the budget allows.

Daisy, I think we have all done something like that one time or another. I was in a hurry once and backed out of the driveway knowing darn good and well my hubby's trailer was right behind me and ran smack into it. I haven't lived that down to this day and it was years ago. What is important is that you are okay.

Ok, girl, how did you smash up the car? Do you get hurt?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
