Ahhh I remember sweating my butt off playing that game at Kahunaville; it'd literally sweat the beer right out of you!
Any think that Propcycle would be good for losing weight?

If you really want to sweat try carrying the base to the bike down stairs! It has markers for a fork lift, I was in front of it going down the stairs, with my brother and father guiding it from the top. Slid it down on a blanket. Good thing I am almost 300 lbs, because I was able to push back. I am sure it would have crushed my dad if he were at the bottom!

Congratulations on the great pick-up!

Congrats!!
I spent years riding a stationary bike and playing console games while riding it. It was a workout at first, but then it got so I could go for 2 hours at a time at about 25 mph and not break a sweat... but still not lose any weight... it sucked!
However I had to do it because my husband had a major hissy fit when I would spend a few hours playing a game... yet he was okay with me spending a few hours exercising
So, it may be great for you at first, but I think the benefits might slow down after a while! Either way, best of luck to you!

Your husband sounds like a task master! We will see if I lose weight from playing. I will have a good time at least! And wow on the 2 hours while playing a game! I assume they were mostly RPGs?

Yup, they were all RPG's!! Some days I would play/ride for as long as 4-5 hours... since the house was clean and supper planned would be easy, and our daughter was in school.
The sad part is I could ride all that time w/o breaking a sweat, but could barely walk up a big hill at the local golf course... so it was great for some muscles, horrible for others! I found that to be the case as well this past winter when we got a swim spa... I would job against the currents for between 2.5-3 hours on most days (I did lose a lot of weight doing this though) but when I felt strong enough to jog on the roads, I just did not have the lung capacity to do it!! 1/4 mile down the driveway and I was totally dying!!! Yet the next day would come and I could jog in the spa for hours again!
This should at least be a great start for you!! I hope it works for you!
