Hey,

I've been using MFP on and off (ok, fine. mostly off) since September and would love to become more involved in the community. I don't usually post, but I plan to get in the habit of it. MFP totally works when I actually DO IT, so I am working on becoming more active on here.

I would love more pals who have similar fitness interests so I can by motivated by seeing what you're up to in my feed !

I love Bikram yoga, bellydance (studied for 2 years but haven't actively danced in a long time), zumba, pilates, running. Especially when I actually DO THEM, if you know what I mean.

Also, if you are crafty, add me! I am a fabric designer and sewing book author and I love to make new craft friends!

    I'll add you! I love Zumba, although I've only been able to do it at home. I knit and sew, but havne't been able to do too much since my 4 month old has been born. Just yesterday I made a new dress and some workout shorts though - it feels good to sew again! How I've missed being creative!

    I just tried a belly dancing video last night and I loved it...so much fun I barely felt like I was even working out. I definitely want to stick with it and maybe do the bollywood dance videos too.

    I love my zumba class, knit and sew too! Love to paint and draw and do crafts as well - I am a mom of 4, was former active duty military, and have been actively trying to get into better shape than I was in the Army!

    Hello! Just re-started with MFP, and I dance with a bellydance troupe in the KC area. I'm not the greatest at crafts yet, but I'm learning slowly. :) Hope to get to know many of you very soon.

    I've just started with MFP and i'm looking for friend to find motivation, because i give up easily when i'm on my own :(

    I bellydance, tribal fusion precisely, and i loove it !! \o/ This is me with my professor : http://youtu.be/4_GvprSlM9Q (i'm the chubby chick on the right ^^) My goal is to lose some fat on my arms, and have a more tonic belly and less fat rolls :3

    Oh girl, you are so cute! I understand wanting to have less fat moving when you're dancing (I'm like twice your size and not even ready to unveil my belly). At the same time I have to say, when watching other belly dancers, especially the tribal ones, I tend to find my eyes drawn to the larger dancers cause their moves seem more earthy and womanly, than the skinnier girls. That I know how hard they've worked to get there bodies to move like that. LOL :)

    Oh and I'm a crafty person too. At least I attempt to be.
