I can have a high fat diet due to DDR. I usually burn the fat off in a few hours.

I lost about 20 lbs last summer playing DDR about every other day, went from waist size 36 down to a 32 ^.^ Went from 190 to 170. I've started playing it more workout-ish, about every other day for an hour, need to lose some weight before the summer. Usually I just do endless mode, time seems to go by a lot faster that way.

Stupid noob question but, does Endless Mode have to be unlocked? I'm guessing yes, cause I don't see it on the menu. *shrugs*

I'm assuming that you have MAX2USA, which does require it to be unlocked. I'm pretty sure that you have to unlock it on any game it's featured on.

Anywho, I've lost around 15 pounds due to DDR. Unfortunately, my horrible diet and spotty playing schedule prevent me from losing more...

SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP YOU ALL! THIS ARE THE KIND OF PEOPLE THAT WASTE TIME ON DDR! DDR IS NOT A WEIGHTLOSS PROGRAM FOR CHRISTSAKES! HALF OF YOU THINK YOU WANT TO PLAY IT TO LOOSE WEIGHT! PLAY AT HOME FOR HEAVENS SAKE! DONT TAKE UP SPACE AT THE ARCADE! DDR DOES NOT WANT YOU TO LOOSE WEIGHT. THATS JUST A BONUS (or side effect). THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO LOOSE WEIGHT ARE THOSE WHO ARE ENJOYING THE GAME TRUTHFULLY AND STRIVE TO BE THE BEST AT IT!

SO STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THE ARCADE MACHINE YOU FREAKING WEIGHTLOSS FANATICS!!!

Srry.... just had to get that out of my chest.

I've lost 55 pounds since I started playing 8 months ago. When I was first getting into DDR, I played a lot more *hours* per week, and even though it was mainly on light and standard, the pounds just started jumping off me. After I lost the first 15 lbs in 6 weeks, which seemed pretty painless, I changed my diet a little bit, and lost another 30 over the next 3 months. Gradually things kind of evened off to losing about 2 pounds a month.

I probably average 3 sessions a week, and usually play 10 games or so. Which makes DDR cheaper than buying a treadmill. =) And quite a lot more entertaining.

Um... just so you know I didn't start DDR for weight loss. I played it to have fun. I just lost weight WHILE playing it without even caring until later on when I started to lose a little I said "HEY! This is a good thing to lose weight on". So I did. Relax man...

Calm down dude. Did you even read most of these posts? Most of these people have been playing for years and lost as a product of it all. The newbies who are hoping to lose weight aren't playing for that sole purpose. Besides, who are you to decide who should play and who shouldnt? It's their money, and they can spend it as they choose, so back off.

I'm sorry, but I really think you need some points for this crap.

I am playing in Workout Mode each night for 500 Calories. As I get better and my feet can move faster I will increase that number to 750 or more. I am presently at 280 lbs and between DDR and other activites plan to reduce to about 220 through the coming summer. I already feel I have stronger and more manuverable legs after only a week of playing.

PS: I only play to lose weight at home. If I am the arcade I just play because it's fun to play. I also play to improve my skill, continuously trying harder songs and/or increasing the difficulty levels)

I'll post again when I have shed a few pounds. E7.gif

Thats why at the end of each commercial to consult with your doctor to see what diet is right for you. laugh.gif

Wow, I feel freakish.
I lost 22 pounds in 2 weeks. Maybe there's something wrong with me.
But all is well I weigh but a mere 161.

How the hell did you pull that off? Did you not eat for 5 days? I know losing 20 lbs in 2 weeks... can't be healthy.
