Does anyone here use the video game Yourself Fitness! for your exercise? I have it for both the Xbox and the PC and have never religiously used it, but plan to pull it out soon and thought it'd be nice if there were others that had it.

I'm anxiously awaiting the Wii Fit game to be released but it looks like it's been pushed back to April... so I'm looking for other things to keep me occupied.

Hi Guys, you can find out more about it here: Maya, the Yourself!Fitness virtual personal trainer, a personal trainer for everyone. Home fitness for PC, Xbox and PlayStation2 (PS2).

Basically, it is a virtual personal trainer and you actually schedule dates with her to work out. The work outs consist of yoga, cardio, core and a little strength training.

The company had some problems and stopped making the game... we keep hoping it will come back for a second version. It was really popular a few years ago. You can still find it on eBay and Half.com pretty regularly.

Thanks for the idea. I like to use Dance Dance Revolution at home but it would be nice to try something different for a change of pace.

well how cool is that!?!? Don't you know my son never mentioned this was available. lol

I've played DDR once. We got the Eye Toy a few years ago to hopefully help my son get SOME exercise. It has wishy/washy where you cleared the screen by doing big arm movements - that was a workout!! Some karate stuff and so on.

Oh the Eye Toy... I don't know if it works with the Eye toy as I only have the Xbox and PC versions of the game. The PS2 is in my son's domain so I don't ever use it. I did however hijack his Wii for the main TV and have taken it over as my system :-) He's not thrilled with it, but loves that I actually spend money buying things for it. Now if Yourself! Fitness would be released for the Wii I'd just love it!

I have a PC hooked up to my big screen in the main part of the house. It's a lot of fun to do and it's a true workout with a trainer. The only thing is that the trainer is not physically there with you. However, there are "models" that show you exactly how to do each movement correctly and you can access those at any time. You are also able to track your weight and it tracks your workouts. It asks you how you feel periodically and adjusts the workout to your level and you also have to go through a series of tests to establish just what level you should start at before beginning the program. As you get more proficient your level increases. You can also tailor your workouts by using a step, a ball and hand weights. It's hard to explain all that this program does, but it's amazing. Oh and there is a whole program that's all yoga so if you don't want to "workout" you can just do a yoga session. If I was less lazy I'd definitely use her more than I have in the past. If you want something other than workout videos this may be the thing for you, if you can find it.

If you have any questions on her I can try to answer them for you.

P.S. I have been known to cuss Maya out while working through the program... it's safe to do that because, unlike Bob or Jillian (Biggest Loser) she won't beat me up!

      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.

      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
