My DDR pad is probably the best investment, evar. Period. I bought it last April, and I've used it consistantly 4-6 days per week, 1 hour per day since then. I've gone from 330 lbs (150 kg) to 300 lbs (136 kg) in that time. While I'm still quite large, I can certainly attest that the DDR definitely works. The way I figure it, I'm about 1/3 into my weight loss goal, and about the same toward my fitness goals. I'm going to tackle walking and then running next, and finally biking, which is something I used to enjoy quite a bit when I was half the man I am now. If my current fitness level in DDR is any indicator, walking should be a breeze; I can hit almost all of the 7-foot heavies and several 8-footers in DDR Extreme 2, without dying.
