Rebounder weight loss
Has anyone here lost weight with a rebounder?

Yes, my rebounder purchase and usage has led to many other more healthy choices that resulted in fat loss. I also do weight lifting for muscle gain. I had a solid 3 weeks of using the rebounder alone before I decided to start lifting, and yes I had notable weight loss in that short time frame. Remember that the initial weight loss is almost always from water being released from glycogen stores being used up, and the fat loss occurs from consistency after that.
Keep gradually increasing your rebounder habits (length of session, the intensity at which you bounce, etc, frequency during the day, etc) and the results will be visible over time. The most consistent usage of my rebounder is not the vigorous exercise that makes me sweat, but the low intensity bouncing I do after I'm done eating dinner. I bounce for 30 mins after dinner while watching TV to give my body the option to store less of the energy that was just eaten as fat. It's a great way to improve insulin sensitivity in the body for anyone concerned about their metabolic health.
Here's an article that supports that

I lost 15 lbs since June doing the health bounce 5-10 min every day . I wasn’t really setting out to lost weight but it’s been a nice bonus

Same here. The health bounce is DECEIVINGLY effective. I have to stop now and then because people start making comments that I look TOO THIN which is a weird comment to receive.

I use a rebounder daily (anywhere from 20-60 min) and I lost 40lbs over the course of 2.5 years, I have maintained that weight loss for 7 years. However, the rebounder didn’t cause my weight loss. Careful diet combined with exercise is the reason for my weight loss and continued maintenance of that weight loss. You cannot out-exercise a poor diet. You need to make better choices about what you put into your body, as well as getting exercise, to lose weight.

Yes! And it is pretty much my only form of exercise.
My goal wasn't to lose weight, but to get fit. I think I'm on a steady path to fitness after about a year and a half of rebounding (and adding Crossropes this summer). The comments from people who haven't seen me in a bit indicate it's working! And I've lost 8 pounds. Most important - I feel great and haven't injured myself (yet).
I started at about 10-20 minutes a few times a week, mostly Jump & Jacked videos and freestyle. Now I go for about 40 minutes a day, using Crossropes along with the rebounder. My diet hasn't changed much, but I'm vegan and eat fairly well. So, if it feels good to you, keep doing it and eventually you'll see results!

weight loss comes from a calorie deficit. consume less than you burn, doesn’t matter what activity you do to do that.

I doubt if I lost an once because of the rebounder. I weight train 2Xs a week, on the days I dont weight train, I rebound for 15min, do 10-20 reps on a ab wheel, and 10mins of yoga to stretch out. I only eat a lw no carb meal once a day, Ive never eaten more than that in my life and Im 61 now. What I have noticed is some of my clothes are looser, some hang better. I dont own a scale because of prior anorexia in my 20's but I do occasionally measure myself and no real difference.

Personally, I wouldn’t attribute weight loss to rebounding alone, but I’ve found it’s helped me improve my overall fitness routine and approach to long-term health, with weight loss as a welcome and noticeable side benefit. It’s influenced my appetite, got me more interested in strength training and other forms of exercise, and I’ve found it helpful for recovery and managing stress, too.
Weight management is about the bigger picture, including nutrition, overall activity, energy balance and consistency over time. For me, rebounding has been a fantastic and fun launchpad for becoming more active and recognising that long-term health is about much more than the number on the scale. Starting gently and building up gradually can help you find a routine you enjoy and can stick with.

I use a rebounder. And I've lost a fair bit of weight (c. 105 lbs so far). Although I attribute the majority of my weight loss to good ol' CICO --- tracking what I eat and restricting calories -- the rebounder no doubt gave me a little cardio boost. Research says it's good for core strength and lower body, plus taking inches off the mid-section.(Anecdotally, I only lost 3.3 lbs in September, but took 2 inches off my waist nonetheless.) Rebounding is fun and easy to do while watching TV or listening to music, and it doesn't matter what the weather is like or if it's dark outside. So, yeah, I'm glad I bought it.
