I was on the news today to talk about the competition I am in: Hooping Idol (an international online video based competition) in which I have made it into the Top 3 and I'm the only American in the competition!

But on top of that I got to talk about how I lost 60lbs with hooping. It was definitely a NSV and felt pretty awesome to say on LIVE TELEVISION.

I was on this show back in october and the difference in how I look is also crazy (even though I was a good ways through the 60lbs during october)

I've added the links so you can see!!

This is today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj1z2eCmzi8

This was back in last October: http://youtu.be/w_fGlGEBMw0

PS You can vote for me in Hooping Idol before midnight PST tonight (Wednesday) if you want!

    Very cool story! I remember hula hoops as a child...was never very good, but it was a lot of fun. I voted for you!

    Thank you all!! I highly recommend hooping as a weightloss tool, but I do NOT recommend the heavy (2-5lb) fitness hoops. They can be dangerous. Adult dance/sport hoops are all you need!! And are more fun anyway

    They always do that with hoopers!! Last time we were on we didn't even get interviewed haha. He'd had a bunch of Dunkin Donuts coffee (I'm blaming that). Dunkin Donuts was in the studio being interviewed too lol

    Awesome! I love hooping! Voted for you!!

    You seemed effortless doing yours and the anchors were all caught up in hitting the walls and, well, not being able to wiggle the proper way. FUNNY! You win!

    You rock! I just finished voting for you! I have been wanting a hoop for the longest (to relive those childhood memories). I was in a store and saw a colorful hoop display and was going to purchase one. My 14-year old daughter almost passed out in the store from embarrassment. I let it go for that day but when I go back to that store I'M BUYING ONE! :)

    I don't recommend kids hoops from the store. They are difficult for adults. It's easy to find adult sport/dance hoops online at places like Etsy or from independent sellers like Hoopnotica.
