Anyone been playing for a while and NOT lost weight?

[LiberalKami]

I've been playing DDR for 11 months now, and I weigh the same as I did when I started. This isn't to say that DDR doesn't work, because if I never started playing I'd probably have gained a lot of weight.

My diet is probably at fault. I'm 5'10" and still range between 205-210 on average. Stupid junk food and pop.

So, who else is in the same boat as me?

I started in like late March and I just play for fun considering I'm already skinny as it is. I am becoming even more skinnier. Maybe it's the song difficulties ur playing? Are you into catas or 10 footers or 7-8 or lower? Also I play for a long time about 4 hours a time than come back really late at night and play another 2 hours or so. I'm definately starting to fit into my shorts that I wore a long time ago like 2 years ago lol. I usually can tell if I'm working hardcore if I'm drenching in sweat. You might also want to play to the point until you sweat like a pig. Works for me.


P.S.
Have a water bottle at your side instead of a coke can it will be much refreshing and rejuvenate your body much better. Like when you go to the arcade bring a water bottle and palce it beside the machine. I actually am starting to hate soda now after so much water .

I have been playing for a year but have lost no weight. I got rid of my baby fat, weee...but it doesn't show up on the scales.

only thing that improved with me is my skill, and stamina
my weight fluxes between 230-250 lbs.
but my stamina is amazing. i can do a max course(300,un.,LOM) in one game on heavy!

but maybe the same for me my diet is sushi,and macdonalds after i play...
so i guess if i cut out stuff i can lose weigh...btw i have been playing 3 years

I can do all the catas and barely finish Max300, so I'm definitely doing songs that will get and keep my heart rate up. As for water, I've been using water while playing DDR for quite some time now. In fact, I sweat so much I usually buy a gallon of bottled water before heading to the arcade. Trust me, it's almost always completely gone by the time I'm done.

Thanks for the diet tips though, guys. Hopefully other people like me are lurking this thread and taking notes.

I have been playing for 3 years and lost less than 5 pounds. I heard all this talk about how you can lose weight just from DDR but I guess it's not true. I started drinking diet soda years ago which I know is better that drinking regular soda but I have a horrible diet. I know DDR has stopped me from gaining weight but I know I have to cut back on the junk food so I can lose weight.

I have been playing since february this year and havent seen any change in my weight. Its really hard for me to change my diet, or to at least stay away from junk food cause i work in a bakery where there is junk food 24/7. I really want to stop drinking pop, but its around me everywhere i go! Argh. I gotta get some will power.

Oh, it works alright. I lost 3 pounds in one night once o0 But hey, I eat like a pig, and now I don't gain weight anymore, what with my constant DDRing keeps it even.

Either that or my metabolism is like that of a hyperactive 2-year-old's or something. My metabolism's been known for being.... like, high...

I havent lost any weight while I have been playing DDR, only because I am already really thin and stuff. The only effect it has had on me is that I have gotten a little more toned.

i play ddr practically every single day. i play heavy, i play nonstop, i play really freakin hard songs, i sweat like crazy and im always completely worn out when im done playing. then i bike back home, which is 100% uphill on the way back, so im dead tired by the time i get home. i don't eat any fast food or red meat ever, i never eat candy, all i eat is good healthy food, lots of fruit and vegetables. have i lost weight? nope. not a bit. in fact, i seem to be putting more on. i am SO frustrated. this sucks.
