Bet you feel greataruif wrote:pssst mr g.
i've lost some weight! in the last 10 days. from my middle, my arms and my face.
i don't know how much but i do know because people have noticed and because my clothes aren't quite as tight.
long way to go but it is a start.
2 stone to lose to get into those, at least!! bahhh You could lose that by christmas Aruif if you follow Glassy's diet.aruif wrote:i will do when i can get back into my cool clothes that i love so much!!
and everyone keeps asking me to make cakes - but i end up eating them too so have refused all cake making requests!
i have to add here that i am on medication for a medical issue that is weight related so it is a bit of a cheat but in order for them to work and not make me feel really really sick i can't eat certain foods (mainly high GI ones). so it is from actual effort to be good too!
i need to start doing some toning though, especially on my arms! :O
Aruif, dont forget to explore those smart people workout videos I posted a couple weeks back. You dont have to spend a penny with those Until you can afford gym membership, they are a brilliant substitute. But well done on your progress so far! Rawr_oxo, thats splendid progress. Dont forget, measurments can fluxuate at different times of the day. Keep it consistent. The best time is just before breakfast :) Mixing cardio workouts is great for the body. But it was worth it, and Diane may have noticed I compensate when ever I can. For instance, one scoop. Ordering steamed rice and chicken satay (which tasted great!). it may have seemed like a small portion but I eat 5 times a day to keep my fat burning metabolism high :)
My little one hula hoops constantly at 7 she has become known locally as the hula hoop girlaruif wrote:my sister is almost a pro hoopergirl! she is amazing at it! she has been trying to teach me for over a year but my bad back and hips are a no no right now, every time i try i hurt myself
she makes her own hoops too! she has one that has lights in it for night time and her new one has fire sticks coming out of it :O
i desperately want to afford to go back to the gym. this is where i feel most comfortable and most motivated to work out. it also gives me a great routine to eat etc.
, she walks to school and back most days hula hooping can even walk up and down the concrete steps we use without stopping. She would love a hoop with lights.....maybe a little young for the fire sticks! 
She has quite a collection now and but prefers the more weighted ones as the hulahoop man you mention suggests.
Youngsters do seem to pick up a natural rhythm, my daughter and neice are the same. I'd keep trying as it took me ages too but when i got it spinning round and round i was estatic.raineylb wrote:My little one hula hoops constantly at 7 she has become known locally as the hula hoop girlaruif wrote:my sister is almost a pro hoopergirl! she is amazing at it! she has been trying to teach me for over a year but my bad back and hips are a no no right now, every time i try i hurt myself

She has been trying to teach me, I am hopeless! She does it so effortlessly, barely seems to move and tell's me I'm doing it all wrong and I should be moving my hips in a 'gentle square shape!' So there's me desperately trying to keep one hoop around my waist for more than 5 spins and she has 4 going round her waist and and another going round her arm above her head!
I love reading the posts in this thread and seeing how everyone keeps motivating each other on, when I'm getting tempted by the vending machines at work I often read this thread to drive away the temptation.
