Weight loss

Scootter · Basic Member Joined: 05 May 2004

How many people playing DDR have been playing as a way to lose weight? What was your starting weight and what goal are you trying to achieve? I started playing at 300 pounds and have lost about 15. My goal is to be at least 60 pounds lighter by the end of the year. More would really be the best. Having a heart murmur I need to watch how hard I push myself. Leave a note. Lets show all those weight loss programs that we don't need them. We have the best and the best is yet to come!

Well, I started on the Atkins diet in January, and started playing DDR in mid February, and since then, I've gone from an estimated 385 down to 325. My overall goal is to lose about another 100 pounds. Lucky me that I saw a bunch of my coworkers enjoying the game at GameWorks to convince me to use this for exercise.

Three weeks ago, when I bought DDR, I weighed 185..now I weigh 180...hopefully I can drop it faster. (And, hey, I just moved to Heavy- that'll lose some weight!)

155-140. And that was just from DDR. Now if I start eating healthy food I might just start wasting away!

But seriously, I got my friends hooked by telling them it's good exercise and can help you lose weight.

180 -> 165

Inadvertantly. I was always skinny, but I bought Extreme JP after I bought my JP PS2 and played it all the time (b/c of PSMO mainly)

I bought DDR because i saw it in the arcades and it looked cool

I was about 190 then

ATM i am 176 and i am not playing just to lose weight.

Keep in mind i also go to the gym 3-4 times a week too so this is probably where a lot of it comes from.

Though I did not buy DDR for weight loss, I use it as an excuse. heh.

I had my daughter February 2003, which raised my weight from 130 to 165.

I then got DDR on Easter, so about a month and a half ago, just moved up to standard (some heavy) and I'm down to 150. I say fifteen pounds in 2 months is uber-bueno.

Other than lifting and carrying around my daughter, DDR is the only exercise I have time for.

Also have to take into account though that most people lose weight when they drink a lot of water, it flushes out excess fat and toxins, and I drink A LOT during game play. We can all thank good ol' H2O.
