Ok, so I’ll admit it, I’ve got some love handles, more than just a bit of a belly, and a nice layer of padding around my body. I’ve had it for years, actually. So what I’m going to try to do here is track some weight loss progress by just playing DDR a minimum of 4 times a week for the next month. I play soccer once a week, but it’s not enough to have an effect on weight. The only additional exercise I’ll be getting is maybe some pushups here and there. If I manage to lose weight, it will truly be the DDR. It might be the geekiest way to lose weight, but that’s ok by me.
Right now, on June 7, 2007, I weigh 205 lbs. For every pound I lose, I’ll find a way to incorporate into some sort of site contest. For example, if I lose 8 pounds, maybe I’ll give away at prizes or something like that.

Here are some current pics of me that I’ll have to compare myself to in 30 days. I took these right after a soccer game. I don’t typically wear soccer gear around. By that, I mean never.

A look at the belly:

Chubby? Yes. Still sexy? Of course.

A look at my calf to see if there’s improvement in tone or definition:

IT’S HAIRY! There, now you don’t need to post it.
Wish me luck!

    I weigh about the same, and I made a goal to work out a lot more this month, so we are going to have a contest. I am shooting to lose 5-10 pounds.

    The thing is, Mark, is that you’re like 6 inches taller than me. You can afford to carry around the extra weight. So after I destroy you in FIFA tonight, I’m hitting the DDR pads.

    NSFW.

    NSFA (not safe for anywhere).

    Just get a real good metabolism like me.

    Oh wait, those are genetic.

    destroy me at FIFA… I think the direct translation of Canizares is indestructible.

    I think you missed your update for this… I have basically been waiting on pins and needles.

    Well, buying the new home set this back. When we get moved in and settled, I’m starting it back up again. You have to deal with the pain of waiting for a little bit longer.
