My friend Cantras from elsewhere got me into Habitica again a few months ago, and I'm setting it up for use with my revision coming up. You basically get experience points and gold for completing tasks and reinforcing habits - and take damage for not doing them! It's pretty clever. I have been a gamer for years, and while I don't really play video games anymore, this has been a neat tool for me to stay on task.

I know it sounds a bit unconventional, but surprisingly it's been a great compliment for WLS!

I love the gamification of health :)

Last time I was doing physical therapy I had to use a functional squat machine that was linked to a computer that had these games - it was awesome and super motivational. Ditto for the balance machine - the Biodex. I love stuff like that.

This is cute, I will try anything that will help keep me on task:-)

This is great, I'm going to try it out. It really calls to the very avid gamer in me.

I am a gamer too! If we should ever meet at an OH conference, we should roll up a game.

That would be great! I've never gone to a conference before, or know much about them, but it would be fun when one rolls around!

I'm Izi there if anyone ever needs a hand!

I know a dungeon master (DM) that has worked really hard on his diet (he has lost over 100#s) but is struggling with the exercise aspect of overall health.

I will forward it to him and maybe it would be helpful.

I want to try it. Thanks for posting!!!
