    You were burning calories by dancing. Sweat is irrelevant, but breathing hard is good. It means that you were challenged. Exercise is for fitness.

    But at least 80% of weight loss will come from eating less........it's really hard to out run bad eating habits.

    Dancing is great exercise! You can burn quite a few calories that way.

    But you also sweat on really hot days, or if you're sitting around in a sauna. Sweat just means that you're warm.

    As TeaBea says, weight loss comings from eating less. Exercise can help, but won't mean anything if you're still eating too much.

    Good for you for giving something you found fun to do a shot. Haters gonna hate - do what you enjoy if it will get you moving because that's better than nothing.

    Where's the hate?

    Pointing out that sweat does not = weight loss (or calorie burn)...........isn't hate

    Pointing out that exercise (any exercise you enjoy doing) is for fitness, not weight loss..........isn't hate

    Being negative when the op was just pointing out they had found something fun to do - that's a bit of hate. No where in the post did he/she say that they had found the secret to anything...just something fun they had discovered.

    Sorry, where was the negativity? OP essentially asked if dancing would make her lose weight, the answer is no. It is at most maybe discouraging, but no one said to OP to stop doing what she's doing, just that what she's doing alone will not cause her to lose weight, which is what she asked. She asked how to lose weight, and we said that what you eat is more important than exercise. How is answering the OP's question hating on her?

    Anytime, anyone disagrees = hate (I don't think so). You will need a thicker skin if you hang out on internet forums. Lots of people will disagree with both you and me, get used to it.

    This was OP's 1st post. Many newbies believe sweating is indicative of calorie burns (it's not). Many newbies believe that exercise will cause weight loss (it can help) but it's mostly about eating less. My post was merely informational.

    No where did I say that Just Dance is not exercise. I think it's great when anyone finds something active that they enjoy doing.

    Like the others have said sweating just means your hot. I live in Florida and sweat just walking out the door 9 months out of the year. Doesn't mean I'm burning more calories just means I'm hotter than someone that lives in Alaska at that particular moment.

    Having said that if dancing is something you enjoy, go for it!

    I completely agree with this.

    And I LOVE Just Dance! I don't have version 4 though....might have to check it out if it gives you that good of a work out, thanks OP :)
