Thought I would let everyone know a little bit about myself.. My name is CT and I have been heavy my entire life... Right now I weigh 350 lbs. and have just started playing DDR in the last week. I bought 2 dance pads, DDRMAX2, also have stepmania on my computer. Just in the last 2 days I am already playing a good 2-3 hours a day and I am already getting A's and AA's on 3 footers. I have been trying to take it somewhat at my pace which I found is actually pretty fast... I do much better on the fast songs than the slow ones. I really enjoy this game and I really hope this helps me lose weight. I have tried many other ways to lose weight (atkins, cutting calories, using a glider, situps, etc.) but I can never consistantly do it cause it seems like a chore or I am limiting myself. Right now though I have made the concious decision to become a vegitarian... which I have been maintaining for over 2 weeks so far and I love it... Man anyway... I will probably be spending more time here and at DDRUK & DDRFREAK forums. Well when I am not playing DDR that is... I will maintain my status on my weightloss etc over at ctgarcia.com! Oh yeah, I am 24 years old... I will add some pics on my site soon... with progress pics as they come! -CT |

I think that's great CTGARCIA.. You will definately see results with DDR.. I'm not sure, but I think you'll see faster results. For some reason, the males metabolism is a lot "faster working" than it is in women ( which sucks lol).. SO rock on and keep on stepping.. You made the right choice with DDR.. I am glad you're here

lol largest ddr player ever... I like that... its fun as hell that is why I play it... I am actually doing a lot of things to drop my weight... Changing my diet (vegan now), Drinking a lot more fluids (mostly water,green tea, diet rite soda... has like nothing in it no caffine, no nutrasweet... it uses splenda, oh and some juices). Plus atleast an hour a day of ddr... more when I can I try to play 2 and 3 step songs for now... once I get better at more of the 3 steppers I will move onto the 4's.... jumps are a killer at this point and that is the only thing holding me back from the 4 step level... I think my soft mat has a lot to do with it... |

Hey, ya, you know about the nutrasweet/splenda thing too! Nutrasweet actaully makes you GAIN weight. Splenda is the only sweetner that won't trigger your body into storing everything as fat. Splenda sweetened tapioca is good, so is splenda cola.

I've seen it pop up in an advert for The George Lopez Show as well. DDR becoming mainstream - who would have thought?
