I have always had trouble using treadmills. They never keep my attention for more than a half-hour. Then I was introduced to a great game that helps you loose weight and is addictive! Its called Dance Dance Revolution, and it is no different than jogging. The game plays techno/dance music and arrows appear on the screen. When the arrow enters the stationary arrow at the top of the screen, you press the corrosponding arrow on a "dance pad" that you stand on. It is very addictive and well worth the cost of about $50 for the game and $20 for the dance pad. They sell it for *********** 2 and Xbox. I have told numerous people at my school and they all went out and bought it. Within the last 7 weeks i lost 30lbs just by playing it for 45min a day and eating healthy. If you get a chance, definately try this out!

Cool

Although I'm not understanding how you are moving.

My son bought it and he and his friends had a blast with it and really worked up a sweat. But it moved with him to California. Thanks, though, for the reminder, I had totally forgotten about it.

This cannot be from excercise alone. Only a VERY stringent (and possibly unhealthy) diet would result in such dramatic results. Even Optifast, a complete doctor-monitored fasting program, doesn't typically exceed 5 lbs per week. It is possible that a person could be retaining 10-15lbs of water weight that could come off in the first week or two of a diet, but I would be curious to know how the other 15-20 lbs came off so quickly.
