In the last 2 weeks since I have been using DDR I have lost 4 pounds. But it true what everyone says you do have to eat rite to lose the weight and DDR and good meals really do work together.</p> My local gym, PICK UP THE PACE, has bought DDR SuperNova for us to exercise to and I love it.

I love the game, and cannot wait. I have made a promise to a friend, whom I purchased a gym membership for, for her mothers day gift, that I will match her, minute for minute, in terms of DDR time vs. Gym Time. :) So, as she progresses, so will I, even if mine has to be broken up into two or three chunks. We will help push each other along. :) It should be awesome, can't wait to see the results in 3-6 months.</p> Going to be starting my DDR plan in about two weeks or so, ordering a metal pad off of ebay, the plastic ones, don’t have the accuracy to my tastes.

Of course for weight loss you also absolutely must modify your diet. That’s actually helpful in depression too.

I used the workout mode to keep track of calories burned. When I started out, I was 100lbs overweight and was out of shape in terms of cardiovascular fitness. Now, a year later, I'm 80 lbs lighter, (due to exercise and better eating habits) and go the gym and do all sorts of physical activity. I think if someone wants to get started, DDR is a fun and motivating way to move off the couch!!</p> Hi,
