I would ask how long they've been playing DDR (or how long it took them to use the weight)

I would also ask how many times a week they play and how long they play for each session (1 hour, 2 hour...).

I would also ask if they followed any sort of a food intake diet at the same time as playing DDR.

For what it's worth, I'm trying to loose weight with DDR doing a 1500 calorie diet and 1 hour DDR 5 times a week. However I have not been monitoring my weight long enough to give you any good results. I've only been doing it a week.

Tried exercise mode on Max2?

I have Ultramix 2... never tried the exercise mode.

Mostly because I love seeing my high scores and grades recorded, and I don't think exercise mode records when you get a high score?

I haven't really tried it though.
