Tarale    2710 Affected by 'Princess Bitch-Face Syndrome' ++++!! Persona non grata                   Since: 11-17-05 From: Adelaide, Australia Last post: 6296 days Last view: 6296 days |

| Well, at the moment my exercise is mostly walking, but I am pretty out of shape. It's not a slow pleasant stroll, it is a very quick walk (as fast as I can go... my legs don't seem to move any quicker) and most of it's uphill. It's enough to leave me a little out of breath, so it must be okay for now.
I don't like to jog, it really hurts my knees, but I will have to give it a try when I can. Maybe bike riding, only I am a little frightened of Adelaide traffic; an exercise bike may be a better option. I also take the stairs a bit at work. I can't yet go all 17 flights of stairs, but I go 7 of them before my knees hurt too much. I would prefer to swim, but I have some inner ear problem that's been bothering me since last year and I've been told not to swim. That's meant that I haven't been swimming for a few months now... I was able to swim a couple of km before I had to stop. |

Tarale - You're definitely on the right track with the walking.  If you would like to increase the intensity of your exercise, I would suggest carrying a weighted backpack with you as long as it doesn't bother your knees. (And, along those lines, don't bother jogging if you can't do it without hurting your knees. Joint troubles are not worth it...trust me!) As far as biking goes, is there anywhere you can ride without dealing with much traffic?
You might also wish to take a look at exercise videos. There are all sorts of low-impact workouts that will challenge you without giving you knee pain. Check out videofitness.com, which has reviews and a board where you can get recommendations from other people with similarly cranky joints. |

| I didn't lose a significant amount because I wasn't going for broke in trying to get good at DDR either. I just did it at my leisure (which just happened to even out at about 1-2 times a week). I've lost the luxury of finding decent spots to put my pad though in this smallish house for a while, though, but that'll get changed. I can push 9-footers a couple 10s but that's if I have the energy to do so, and I usually use a last stage to blow myself out on it. Standardly, though, I'll do 8-Heavies no problem. Most of the high BPM ones will get you moving and most DDR games have a workout mode for the ones that really want to get a workout and keep track of your weight while doing it. I think MAX on up has this.
I didn't really lose more than say 10 pounds total, but I haven't really tried. My guess is it's very possible to drop some serious weight playing this, though. I've heard, seen, watched the stories of it. Sometimes the amount of loss is quite drastic (over 100 pounds). It just depends on your will and if you really like the game or not. Personally, I'm not all that well off. I'm 6'2", 200 lbs (dancing around) at 20% body fat. I know I used to be better. :\ |

| I play DDR. I can get B's and such on 10 footers (MAX 300, Maxx Unlimited, et al), but if I stop playing for a week I'm screwed and have to work my way back up. | |||

| Well, the walking seems to be doing something. Up until recently I hadn't seen any significant changes in weight or bodyfat percentage that weren't merely fluctuations (or that one really hot day where I was a kg lighter due to sheer fluid loss)
However, I am able to do my belt up one hole tighter now without it being tight around my belly. Also, as of today I was not 75kg (165lbs) as seems to have been the standard for a long time now.... I was 73.8 (162.36lbs)  Unlike that really hot day I don't think this was due to sheer fluid loss either. So maybe the month + of eating better and exercising is starting to pay off, it was just taking its sweet time.(edited by Tarale on 02-01-06 07:20 PM) |

| Well, good that you finally can see some results, Tarale.
How much are you planning to lose? |

| Well....
I started out 88kg (194 lbs). I am now 73.8kg (162.70 lbs) and have lost 14.2kg (31.30 lbs). I intend to lose another 11.8kg (26.01 lbs) which would mean I would weigh 62kg (136.68 lbs). |

Uhm... looked like any other scam site out there. :/ I guess it's more playing on human psycology than fact... |

| Yes, well that's what a lot of those places do.
Oh and I seem to be keeping steady at 73.6kg. I did eat a little bit naughty on the weekend (I even had bacon and eggs for breakfast on Saturday) but I was moving house so I was busy all day each day too. Maybe if I keep being good I can get that number down further. Incidentally, my body fat percentage is higher in the mornings than in the evenings. Usually 35% in the morning, 33% in the evening. |

| They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Do you eat much during the morning?
That might be the cause. If itīs not that, I donīt know. |

| That's before I eat. So it can't be the food.
But yes, I have a good breakfast. Although I don't feel up to eating first thing in the morning, I have it when I get to work. |
