Has 360-Gaming made you Gain Weight ?

I'm doing a research project for a class, and this can count as a "completely unbias" survey in terms of location and such.

Just select yes or no, or the third choice.

Thanks.

If anything it helps me lose weight. Paying attention to video games generally keeps the mind from thinking about eating. Remember, if you have not eaten over your calorie intake for a day, it does not matter how much you sit and be lazy.chandlerr_360

360 gaming won't make you gain weight... general inactivity and poor eating habits will do that. playing xbox 360 will actually burn more calories than simply watching tv. now, if you choose to play xbox instead of physical activity that you would normal partake in, than yes, maybe 360 could be considered a cause of weight gain.

long story short, no, 360 has not caused me to gain weight. i've been stuck at 6'2" 210 for about 2 years.

If you're planning on counting this as a random sampling survey, then I hope the prof doesn't have any background in stats....

You put yourself in a tough spot with this question... after all, playing games doesn't make you fat - eating too many calories and eating patterns make you fat. Or having a thyroid disorder, either way.

If you want to draw real causal connection, go with the metabolism impact of marathon gaming. Sitting in one place and doing nothing and staying up late are probably very prevalent in gamers, and you can tie that back to some documented studies about those types of behaviors.

The army helps keep me in shape... but even before I joined, I worked out, so no. The question at hand is how many people have a life outside of their 360?

No, I make time for the gym, etc...Lance_Kalzas

yeh. and this reminds me that some ppl tryed to sue Micky Dz for em gaing weight...lol it's like take your self to the gym or somethin once a week lol

I'm not doing my HW anymore.

No.

I game in the winter and enjoy the great outdoors during the spring/summer.

Yeah I think I have. When I play games on the wekend I drink beer, and I play alot of games on the weekend. I work out, but I also work 40 hours a week at a desk for the most part. Its harder to stay in shape when you get older, ya hear, kinda sucks.

I have gained weight since I've owned my 360 but I'm inclined to say thats due to a slowdown in my metabolism and a love/addiction to cookies and whole milk.

I used to game more often on my ps2 and xbox and never gained a pound until the last 2-3 years.

I've gone from 6'3 175lbs to 6'3 205. This might sound atrocious but when you take into account that I was dangerously skinny before, my weight now actually appears to be healthier. Or so I've been told.

I have gained some weight since I got the 360 but I can't say it was completely it's fault. I am 5'8", 176 lbs and enjoy long walks on the beach..... oh wrong forum.... :P

Seriously, I was at 160 lbs just this last year and went to 176 in the last 6 months. I am also in a baseball league to help keep me in shape so, imo, the weight I gained will actually help me their. I think the 360 contributed to some of that as did fast food.
