I've seen the ads on TV, and I'm wondering if it works. It might be a fun Christmas gift to buy myself. Thoughts?

Any exercise and activity is better than sitting on the couch.. :) If you thinks its something fun and will keep you motivated to do it. I say why not...

My mother-in-law bought one of those and she says that every time she goes to use it it moves as she's twisting on it and it does not stay still and then she has to stop and get off and move it back into the center of the room and it's just a vicious cycle however on the positive parts of it she said she can feel the burn but when you're stopping all the time to be able to move it back to the center of the room you're selling yourself down and get it and which fact you're not burning all the calories that you could be now with that being said maybe she's using it wrong I have not tried it I'm afraid I might break it LOL

Yeppers. We have one. The moving around the house is because of leaning. You can intentionally walk around using it if you know how. I also get in a plank position (like a push up that is all of the way up) and put my hands on either side of the board and twist it underneath me.

Do you like it and feel it gives you a workout?

Does it need to be used on carpet only?

I have wondered about these. Does it wear your carpet under where you use it?

I love the SIMPLY FIT BOARD!! I've been using since January 1st. That was the day of officially being able to exercise. If you are not standing straight the board will move. The board is fun. You will feel the burn

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
