    I haven't personally (then again, I only casually played it when I saw it in a mall), but a friend of mine lost over 50 lbs playing it. Have fun!!

    I haven't played DDR in forever. I can't say I had success losing weight with it (last time I played I was thin), but it is definitely a great workout. I could never manage to do the hardest difficulty, the arrows would move insanely fast and I just wasn't coordinated enough for that.

    Currently I am losing weight with games like Just Dance and Dance Central, so I'm pretty sure you can lose weight with DDR. Actually losing weight is more about diet than what exercise you do. 80% diet 20% exercise. Finding something you enjoy to do for exercise though is key, because your more likely to stick with it when you reach your goal weight.

    I haven't played in a loong time but I used to a lot. We used to go to the mall and a lot other mall rats and I used to get super into it lol. People would sweat ALOT! It is a great way to stay in shape.

    I LOVE DDR! I even have the soundtrack CDs to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, DDRMax (6th), DDRMax2 (7th), Disney Rave, and DDR 2000. Put that together with that PS2 game I have, and boy that'd really make a wild workout!

    DDR is a great way to burn calories. I have Just Dance 4 because I have a Wii U, which doesn't offer DDR. Mainly I like to walk outside every day, but if it's raining or cold (winter months), then a dancing game will suffice for my daily exercise. :)
