What stinks is that they wanted the pictures and that it was due around three days ago.

I fit the requirements and I believe I'm one of the obese people of America. I'm 14 and I'm overweight but I have lost a lot of weight from DDR and a somewhat good diet, it's better than what I was eating before.

I also would like the pad but oh well.

Anywho, I'll still be playing DDR even if Extreme is the last so called mix. I'm going to keep on playing until I lose more and mroe weight. I've only lost 20 pounds but I need to lose more.

Haha, plus GetUpMove has gotten me inspired lately to play more DDR.

Good stuff from Red Octane.

This is past the deadline and I'm out of the age bracket requested (I'm 18 and I started playing ddr when I was 17)... but in case you people want some quotes, I'll give a short summary of my DDR weight loss story.

When I played my first game of DDR I weighed 220 pounds. I had been working on losing weight for about four months already and was down from 285. All of my previous weight loss had been due to a drastic change of diet (in quantity, not type of food). My rate of weight loss had greatly slowed down and I still wanted to lose a little more weight. I thought I'd be happier if I weighed 200 (and as I lost more weight this number waned as well), and after playing my first serious game of DDR which was on a cruise ship (we were cruising to BERMUDA!!!), I became motivated to lose more weight so that I could play DDR better (I was hooked from my first game (not as serious... on someone else's ps2 1 turn). Thanks to DDR on the cruise ship I managed to only gain 3 pounds for the trip (not bad at all for a tremendous former overeater). As I played more DDR it helped me to lose weight by giving me a motivation... to play DDR better. That was in August. My weight loss continued all the way up until about two months ago at which time I weighed in at my all time low of 175 pounds - 110 pounds lighter and a little over a year since I began my diet. Although the exercise from DDR was not the actual reason for my weight loss, it gave me tremendous motivation to do better and has improved my condition. My legs are much stronger now than when they started and each day I feel like my muscles are more toned up and able to go longer at DDR than the previous day. The End.

I have before and after pictures. If anyone is interested contact me. Btw, I am now extremely good (this is a very relative term but I think it is ok to use it here) if anyone cares about that too and it'll add to my story, I'm ranked about 50 on NNR - look in my profile.

I think my sh0rt essay went over the limit, and I know I'm out of the age bracket... by a year as of when I began, and I also know it's a few days late. I'll revise it if anyone is interested in using it.

I lost 25 pounds over about 4 months of owning the game. My doctor actually told me to stop losing weight. I'm 16.
