i haven't lost any weight as i only weigh 100 lbs to begin with. I also don't have a home game so i only get to play once a week. I've heard of people doing it though. One thing it has helped with is my stamina. I'm able to run longer at faster speeds.

Ive lost a decent amount of fat in my stomach if that counts, and I have put on quite a bit of muscle. I also feel better and dont get tired walking up stairs :-)

I've lost around 5 pounds, that's it. I'm at 225 right now - so there's LOTS this hungry hippo could stand to lose. I still get puffed going up stairs.

The title could afford to 'loose' one O. It's spelled wrong.

I'm glad I don't have to lose anything I just need to build up my stamina

I started at 175 and now float around 150-153. A lot of fat has gone but also I've toned up my legs a lot and since muscle weighs more... yeah.

What I need is to build on stamina to do the hard songs, I lose alotta sweat and maybe at best 5 lbs depending how much I play.

I'm playing the workout mode on Konomix, my goal each day being 1000 calories.
So far I've been able to do it, but I'm still a little skeptical about the validity of it all. I mean, when I checked out the equivilant charts, it said that what I did was the equivilant of running 351 km (about 218 miles) and swimming 155,842 meters...
Meh, whatever. I've noticed some weight loss ^^

I definitely lost some weight when I started playing DDR. I used to play tons and that made a big difference in what sort of shape I was in.

Hmmmmmmm well just because you sweat that doesnt mean that you actually lose weight.

Anyway DDR hasnt gained me or lost me any weight what so ever. I'm still 140 lbs. Very very light for a 19 year old. And I'm also a very very active young man.

-Martial Arts
-Breakdancing
-DDR
-Sk8boarding
-Surfing

That's probably why.

DDR is just another one of my hobbies. IT's a good workout depending on how much you do it. (If you ask me) My metabolism is also SKY HIGH. That contributes to my no weight gain but very very hungry body type...

I lost 50lbs. by playing DDR, 50lbs. in about 3-4 months. I was 200lbs.+ and now I'm down to 142lbs. and I'm 16 years old. Didn't even use the work out mode, lol.

Play Heavy mode and reduce your daily calorie intake, and viola.

I lost maybe ten pounds when I first started, then hovered. Maybe it's because I haven't changed my drinking diet much (all Coke, all the time). My gut is always swinging between bouts of being there and not.

In other words, DDR really isn't losing me weight so much as keeping me from gaining it.
