Amazing, congratulations! I discovered today that I am still at the weight I was on January 6th. A bit lf a waist of the last 8 months.
Do you have any tips on hula hooping? I have one, used ot love it as a kid, but now it is mostly ornamental, because I can make no more than 5 rotations till it falls down. But I am sure that it is a great, fun, quick and easy core workout...0 -
well, not easy, obviously0

Great NSV. Good read. Love the fact also, that your son knows Mom didn't leave the memory banks with Mom couldn't ride the rides. It' s more like Mom didn't take no for an answer. Good stuff.0

Definitely! It's really all about the size of your hoop. They say to buy one that comes up to just above your bellybutton when you stand it in front of you. However, when I started I found that being as big as I was and having such a weak core made it impossible for me to keep even a properly sized hoop up. I ended up having to get a hoop that came up to about my chest (50" for me; I'm tall). When you see the big hoop it seems intimidating, but it's much easier because it's bigger and slower. Start with the big guy and as you build your core you can downsize. When I'm learning new tricks I always go back to my big guy to learn.
Just be careful...once you get the bug it's all over...0 -
Thanks everyone for all the well wishes. It's great to have so many people to share these accomplishments with! And it's so true that it's about much more than appearances. I think that's the piece I was missing for so many years. My daughter said to me last night, "It's really cool that you said you were going to do it..and then you did it." That made every single bite I didn't take this year worth it.0

Well done! I had an extremely similar turning point with rides, and recently was able to go to Alton towers, and ride everything. I was so happy, I hope you were as pleased with yourself as I was! Great progress!0

That's great!
I know I actually played with my 3 yr. old on the playground in the last couple months. When my son was that age there was no way. He's 16 now. Sad I couldn't do more with him when he was younger. Though glad they are going to have a healthier Mom.
I bet your son loved it!0 -

This has been a great year. I lost over 70 pounds, I have learned how to enjoy exercise, I found a passion in hula hooping that I never knew was there, and I totally made Six Flags my b*tch.
