If thats true then thats really unhealthy and mostly imposible. Lets put it this way: 1 pound=3500(approx) caleries. 22*3500=77000. Pretty much in order to lose 22 pounds you must take in 77000 less caleries then you burn. 77000/14=5500. Thats 5500 caleries a day. DDR burns about 800-1000 caleries an hour if your playing the right songs. So assuming you didn't eat ANYTHING you would have had to play DDR 6 hours a day. That, I can believe(DDR is really fun), but you would have probally not made it past the third day without passing out 
Alot of these stories about losing wieght with DDR seem to be exagerated a huge amount. The only thing that makes it somewhat beleivable is that DDR is a video game and most of you probally didn't do any kind of activity before DDR. I mean, I play about 2 hours a day(because its really fun and I want to get better, not to lose weight) and have only lost 15 pounds in 6 months, but this is coupled with giving up fast food, sugered soda, watching what I eat and swimming. So, from experience I just don't see how its possible to lose that much wieght that quickly. |

Considering the fact that I eat only about 3 times a week, and I was kind of ill at the time, and all I did was play DDR it is somewhat possible.
My doctor says I'm fine, just that I should eat more,which I don't...I get all sick and whatnot.

I lost about 5 pounds over the weekend playing DDR. I played for like 3 hours a day. If you're playing the right songs, or just playing songs to get better, it isn't that hard to lose weight, whether you want to or not.

I feel your theory, I lost 35 pounds in a month and a half, but it wasn't with DDR, it was by alternating between circuit training and a cardio work out 6 days out of the week plus a 4 mile run per day, plus calorie counting and giving up a majority of my favorite carb loaded foods, increasing water intake, decreasing sugar intake, consulting with a personal trainer and yada yada yada.
11 pounds 2 weeks in a row... that sounds like a hospitalization siche fa sho. It's not impossible, but I can imagine a weight drop like that without cosmetic surgery would have you on bed rest with some sort of mandatory medical supervision.
*shrugs* IMO, but what do I know, LOL.

| Yes DDR is a good way to drop some weight and have a hell of a time. I have very high metabolism so I never gain or lose any weight. |
