Starting today, and going on for a month (30 days), I'll record how much weight I am losing. At a time determined by someone who knows when the best time to weigh yourself (Faz, help me out here) I will weigh myself and post it here. I'll be doing 4 sets of 5 songs between 7 and 9 difficulty (with a 10 thrown in here or there). The songs are about 1:20-1:50 in length and have around 300-600 steps per song. After 5 days, I will add another set to the routine, so it goes like this.

Day 1-5 = 4 sets of 5 songs
Day 6-10 = 5 sets of 5 songs
Day 11-15 = 6 sets of 5 songs
Day 16-20 = 7 sets of 5 songs
Day 21-25 = 8 sets of 5 songs
Day 26-30 = 9 sets of 5 songs

I don't particularly care if anyone comments as this is partially something for me so that I keep up with this routine. I will not skip a day and I will not be lying. I weighed myself at 258 pounds today at about 1 PM. I don't know how much I expect myself to lose, but I do think it will be significant.

Sure, you'll burn calories(and thus, fat,) but you won't really develop any muscle growth. You'd get the same effect just swinging your arms around.

And you do jump quite a lot on the higher difficulties, fyi.

Mr. Gainsborough fucked around with this message on 08-21-2007 at 06:33 PM.

He DOES have resistance.. Hi gravity, nice to meet you. That can be enough for some people to start shedding pounds. Later on if he wants to develop tonus, flexibility and strength he can do other things, but for weightloss, this isn't that bad of an idea.

Edit: Especially if you're having fun and you're going to stick with your regimen as you say you will.

I, for one, think you can do it, Gains.

Yes, because posting in two threads is shitting up every thread.

Well, I doubt it, because you obviously missed the point of this thread.

Gains: Guys, I'm going to be tracking my weightloss over a period of 1 month while I subject myself to a regiment of DDR to prove that it will allow me to burn fat.

Skaw: Yeah, but you're not gonna build muscle.

Gains: This is for weight loss, not muscle building.

Skaw: Yeah but being skinny (as a result of weight-loss) isn't the same thing as being "in shape"

Basically, you came into this thread to point out that he would not become Biggy McLargehuge if his exercise consisted of DDR. This, however, had nothing to do with his thread at all since he was simply trying to show a coorelation between DDR and weightloss. After, I'm assuming, you re-read the thread, you realized that you were being an idiot. At this point you tried to save-face by saying that he could lose all the weight he wanted, but still wouldn't be physically fit.

What I'm saying is... You're an idiot, its a cool idea, and you should stop posting.

And not everyone gets a worthwhile workout strictly from a force your body has adapted to. Unless you've been sitting or laying down your entire life.

Mr. Gainsborough obviously shouldn't have said:

Doubt it.

And that's not saying you're a weak fuck or anything because my one-rep max benchpress is only 150 and I really doubt Skaw's that much of a skinny faggot.

btw weigh yourself in the morning before shit/piss/shower it's the most consistent you'll get

I am sweating bullets and breathing extremely heavily atm because I just finished the sets. If I had a bar to lean on, I could just cheese my way through the songs I was playing by leaning back and maneuvering my feet around.

Also, after I lose some pounds, I may end up joining my buddies at the gym (like everyone from my old job is apparantly going to the one in town, so I'd be a little more likely to do that with the friendly faces around), but for now I'm still very self conscious about my weight. I think this is gonna help and thanks for all that are supportive of this.

I even passed a new song that I hadn't ever been able to before. I had always looked at the song as something I couldn't pass, so it got stuck in my head just not to play it. I saw it today and thought "Hm, that song's really hard and tires me out a lot. Even if I don't pass it, it'll be a good finisher for the workout." Lo and behold, I passed it. I may re-gain my appreciation for DDR outside of just striving to be better at it like I had back when I played it constantly.

Sounds like a good idea Gains. I was never good at DDR, I have a lack of balance and can fall while standing.

I should be getting in better shape this fall as well, seeing as I'll be walking to and from both school and work everyday (at least 20-30mins each way), and dodging all of the market shoppers in Chinatown may help with my klutziness!

It really has nothing to do with DDR. It has everything to do with not just doing nothing, physically.

Moving can lead to weight loss? Whoddathunk?!

This is showing just how effective it is. We won't know the results until the month is over.

Swinging his arms around is not the same as moving his entire body via the largest (And most efficient at burning energy) muscles in his body. In fact, "swinging your arms around" would engage maybe a dozen or so muscles, more than half of which are three inches long or shorter. Compare that to at least 12 muscles at LEAST a foot and a half in length, most of which are a good four to six inches across, and on a 6'4" male, even if he was sedentary a fair deal of his days, would still be very large, powerful muscles. And especialy moreso considering his DDR history.

If I didn't know better, I'd think you want to be banned, Skaw.

Oh wait

in fact, I plan on making a pilgrimage there so steve and I can fuck chicks and eat ford trucks.

Think what you want, but Gains is doing something to better himself in a way that's fun for him. Meaning he'll stick with it. I've got to give him a salute of respect for that alone.

Maybe you just get your jollies shitting all over other people's attempts at self-improvement.

I think Delphi might have accidentally revealed his passion for Harlequin romance novels with his description of Gains' "very large, powerful muscles."

Next thing you know he's going to request a plate of steaming cock.

I'd re-iterate my point, but I know how that ends.

I suppose all I can say is that I wish you the best of luck, Gains.

Good job Gains, this will definitely help. I'd also suggest slow changes to your diet. Also, if you start levelling off you basically just need to change your routine a bit.
