I am pear shape also. I am small up top and bottom part is a lot larger. I started out needing to lose about the same 20 pounds. I don't do the gym well or exercise dvds or anything. the one thing I found that has helped me is walking. I walk 4.5 miles a day 5 days a week. I have lost 13 pounds so far. YAY!! Almost to goal…

There is also low calorie beers now too such as Miller 64 and Budweiser 55.

I am getting more and more excited about getting them. And I am going to try ebay and craigslist to try and get them cheaper. And I am not too klutzy so hopefully (fingers crossed) I won't fall too many times. And if I do... I will just get back up and try again. :)

No_Finish_Lin... lol yellow is a good color.

I live in a small town and only have two small gyms so I don't think a membership there is really for me. I walk over 4 miles a day and wanted something to boost my walks. And I agree people spend a lot of money on walking shoes or sport equipment so maybe this would be the same if you do it regularly. And I am not worried…

Well I read that it is actually very low impact and better on your joints. I am interested in it.

Thank you suemcmurry... I live in Texas so I could probably use them year round. I think they would be great to add more excitement to my walks in the morning.

Not referring to you bugaboo_sue.

You don't have to be rude. I am not trying to validate my spending. I am asking if anyone else has every used them. That is just like reading reviews. I am asking opinions. If you have never used it then don't answer. Simple as that.

Well I already see weigh loss from my diet. I guess I should have explained better. I walk 5 times a week. And I want to try something different and that burns more calories.

I am 5'1"... current weight 133 -135. My goal weight is 110 which I was before I had my daughter. If I can't get down to 110 then I would be happy with 120.

Hi! I just started walking for exercise too. I have tried a lot of other stuff and it has worked but I never stuck with it and ended up gaining the weight back. I had to find something I enjoyed and would stick with. Walking has done that for me so far. I really enjoy putting on some music and taking a walk. I usually walk…

I don't know if I will do 30/30 but I down to start trying. I have a weighted hoop and I also have a dance hoop. I only really use my dance hoop now. But maybe the weighted hoop would be good for core. I don't know really. I usually hoop about 20 minutes a day. I have done 30 minutes but not every day.

I missed Saturday through Monday cause I wasn't feeling good. But I got 35 minutes in yesterday and 20 minutes in on Tuesday.

Got my 30 minutes in. Was prettyvtired today but still did it.

I think it makes perfect sense. Thanks for the tips. I am trying this today.

Got my 30 in today. And I can feel it in my stomach. Good stuff!

Got my 30 minutes in today. Mostly core but I need that. :)

I just joined your group and I would like to do the 30/30. I did 25 minutes yesterday and 27 on Monday. So starting today 30 for 30. I am excited. :)

I also bought a weighted one. Mine is 2.5 lbs. But I did order a lighter one (hasn't arrived yet) because I too started to get interested in hoop dancing. I ordered my new one from Hoopmamas off etsy. Cheap too. But you can practice on the weighted one until you get a lighter one. I don't do it long and mostly just around…

Jamie, Thank you for replying. I am new to hooping and would love any advise you have. I was checking out your website too. I think I might order a hoop from your site too. 20 pounds is a great loss. I don't need to lose a lot but some and need to tone more. Purpleprose, I have added you. 13 pounds is a great loss too.…

I accepted both of your requests. I haven't really thought about hoop dancing. I just started doing the hoop exercise because I heard it was a good exercise and fun. I didn't get to do it the last four days because we were gone on a small vaca. But back at it again today.

Wow 7 pounds in a week is great. I have been doing it for about 3 days. I have only gotten up to 15 minutes. Granted one day I did 2 times of 15 minutes. I agree. It is so much fun and time flies by. How long do you do it for? We should keep each other updated on our progress of hooping since we are close to starting…

Anyone?

I just started doing. I have a weighted hoop that is 2.5 lbs. First day I did 10 minutes. And was pretty sore the next day. I read you are suppose to start out at like 2-5 minutes the first day but I pushed myself. And felt it the next day. Today is my second day of doing it and I did 15 minutes because I was no longer…

OMG that sounds beyond delicious! Very good cheat meal!

Hey Sunday weighers... I am down 1.2 lbs this week. What about everyone else?

A lot of restuarants have the light meals... try sticking with those. If not then try and eat a lighter lunch and work out more that day.

Special K bar Chocolate pretezels... only 90 calories and so yummy!

I like the Special K bars. They are only 90 calories and you can have chocolate. My favorite is the chocolately pretezel.
