It has come to my attention via my wife that I've gained about twenty pounds since I got my xbox. She told me that I need to get back in shape. I told her that I was in shape, that I was round, but that didn't seem to pacify her. Anyone else gain any weight from playing xbox and slacking off on the physical exertion?

No way I'm in the best shape of my life last night I just grabbed this jeep that was upsidedown and flipped it over then later I was snowboarding at mesablanca and musta made like a three story jump with two backflips and this morning I was fighting this ninja and I musta knocked him through 3 walls. I am in awesome shape Thanks XBOX.

I gain a few pound since i got my XBox but I don't think its cause of the XBox. I think it cause I be eating bacon, hash brown & eggs daily in the morning... & also late at night. So I think that had something to do with it :D

I actually lost pounds. Before by Xbox my weight was 140, now its 130! I think its because I havent eaten anything since I got my Xbox!

I envy you guys with wicked fast metabolisms. I never really had that. One piece of advice I will give you...never take anything with ephedra in it. My brother in law was a golden gloves champion and he was training me to fight in a lower weight class than him. When we were training together I took Hydroxycuts. That stuff melted weight off me. I was down to 185. My wife said I was too thin, that 200 was my ideal weight. When I quit takin that stuff I gained weight quick like. I'm still not like obese or anything, but I'm definately gonna lose 20 pounds and not take anything with ephedra in it. The NFL just added that stuff to their banned substances list. The best way to boost your metabolism is to do aerobic exercise in the morning before you eat, then wait an hour after you finish to eat anything, not that you young guys need to worry about that. Just remember that little piece of information when you hit thirty.

Thanks for the info marc. I'm not exactly fat, or really chubby even. I'm just out of shape. I'd like to do some toning excercises, but I'm not nearly motivated enough (nor do I have enough cash) to join a gym. I'd say I've gained wait since I got the Xbox, but mostly because I also got a PC and I sit on that thing almost all day, every day.

I used to be like, ugh 175 pounds. Now i am like totally fat. I weigh 215. Thats like 40 pounds. But also i am 14 and like 6'3" so i mean i got a tummy but still it isnt that bad. Besides, being fat is cool.

Nothing wrong with weight gain.... I am only 16 though, and I would prefer to be bigger.

I haven't gained that much weight since I bought my xbox and msot of the weight that I have gained is from extra muscles

MUSCULAR BABY!

i play a lot of basketball.

hey, when ever you feel like eating, just keep on playing, dont eat untill your realy super hungry, then when your body figures out you wont feed it everytime it tell you your hungry it will panic and suck the fat right out of the cells, and youll drop pounds like a mofo, thats what im gunna do when i get out of school in 3 days

hey sorry to tell you but it works the other way around..... your body will panic because it doesnt regularly get food, so when it does get it , it will store more fat to cover the times it doesnt get it. its true you would lose weight at first because your not eating, but if you made a habit out of it, everytime you did eat your body would store more fat

I have the exact same condition as you, it's probably worms, ha.

Although sometimes when I'm really into a game (i.e. Morrowind when it comes out) I lose interest in food, hygiene, sleep and I prolly lose some lbs.

My worst case of this occurred with PSO for Dreamcast and Rainbow Six/Rogue Spear for PC (dammed demanding clans!)

I got the same line from my wife a couple of weeks ago. I pointed out to her that it had nothing to do with the XBox but the fact that we got married on November 16 and that it is all from her cooking. Told her that I just can't resist how good her cooking is. So off she ran to the kitchen with a smile on her face to cook my dinner while I blissfully played Halo.

I don't take time to carefully comb through threads like this (not that it's bad; it's very entertaining) so forgive me if someone already said this which wouldn't surprise me at all.*

Since getting an X-Box I've gained some weight on the phat scale.**

i used to be the same way, until i hit university, my metabolism must've slowed down hardcore, i gained mad weight, i am in horrible shape, i gotta start working out like mad. I got a beer gut to end all.
