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!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
