The Wii Fit is great for those of you that don't like going to the gym. The boxing is a great workout and you feel it the next day. I highly recommend getting one, just think however much money you would spend on a trainer for a year and might not use you can spend on the Wii. I do recommend that you do it with a partner, it makes it more fun and competitive and keeps you motivated.

I got a Wii Fit today (in fact, I just got home with it). I can't wait to try it out. The guy at the store was trying to talk me into buying the Wii Fit ski game also, but I passed. Has anyone tried it?

I love my wii fit!

I like that it tracks your weight and bmi and the time you spend on it. I like seeing my mii compared to other mii's, helps me to realize what size i seriously am. (my son's friend's girlfriend set up a mii, I always thought i was larger than she is, but when i saw her mii, i was smaller.)

The two weeks prior to getting the wii, i was working out in the mornings to exercise videos. But I am sweating way more with the wii than i did with the videos.

My favorite is the stepping. I hope they make a full game involving the steps.

Where are you all finding the wii fit? They're always out of stock at Target and Wal-Mart. Where do you recommend I try?

I actually just kept randomly calling places to see if they had them in-stock. I finally called Game Crazy yesterday and they had 2 in stock and since my husband shops there all the time, they were nice enough to hold one for me until I got there.

I got mine at Game Stop. They are really hard to find. You just have to keep callling places. I caught mine in the morning. A shipment of 4 had just arrived. They definately don't sit on the shelf. Good luck to you.

Woo-hoo! I just scored one. I can't wait for it to get here. :biggrin:

I signed up for instant messaging on Amazon.com. You sign up, then when you get the message you reply with "buyfit". It took me about 6 tries, but I finally replied fast enough and got one.

It's even free shipping. And I don't have to buy one of those package deals with $60 worth of stuff that I don't want.

WTG, Fairysaddle! I just did an hour on mine and it kicked my butt. I need to get a silicone cover for it. It's not going to stay pristinely white for long if I don't. I was considering buying the accessory pack and my husband said, "just buy the cover and use a towel". He's right.

I just went online to Gamestop and ordered it for my daughter who is going to be 12 next week, but you can be sure I will be using it, too. When I went online, I was put on a waiting list, but it came right away. Of course, I had to pay S&H, but I don't care. I tried to get the whole thing for her last year and missed out.

I have borrowed the Wii fit from my friend, and I love it! I love the new games that unlock as you work out more, and how ir does the progress on your weight loss and your BMI.

I suggest it to everyone who HATES going to the gym.

Whats the Ski Fit?

I just got my wii fit, however after a long haul of looking for them, the gentleman told me at Best Buy you have ask when they get their orders, because they usually get two or three a week. That is all they get, but if you get there on shipment days you have a better chance. They are not advertised when they come in. They go so fast they do not need to advertise. I have just started using mine, however I have enjoyed it. I still try to go to the gym 4 days a week and walk a 1/2 after dinner each night, but the wii does let you work up a sweat. Anything off the couch is better than just sitting! Enjoy and have fun!

OK..I've got to ask this. What exactly am I looking for? I've looked for Nintendo WII online but I see these bundles that have sports or games that I don't think I want. Can't I just buy a naked WII & add a WII fit bundle to it?

Thanks

Elizabeth

Yes, you can. A Wii comes with a sports game and controllers ($249). Then, you can purchase the Wii Fit for around $89.

      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
