My best friend bought a hula hoop...you know one of those heavy bamboo ones? Well, she used it for half an hour to an hour everyday for a week and she lost 5lbs! I'm going to get one tomorrow! But it just doesn't make sense to me...how can hula hooping make someone lose so much weight? She didn't diet or do any other exercises, either! I doubt it's water weight, because she does look thinner. Have any of you had good experiences with the hula hoop? Oh...and this is how I did today: Breakfast: whole wheat bread, 2 nectarines Snack: oatmeal Lunch: sushi Snack: Pinacolada drink Dinner roasted chicken, veggies. Exercise: 200 jumping jacks, 50 crunches and still doing more tonight! ~~MissyK~~

My friend's hula hoop is really the heaviest I've ever seen. The light ones aren't as good, since they're easier to use and you don't burn as many calories. ~~MissyK~~

that's awesome! my mom bought one that has all those little bumps on the inside, so when you use it..it feels like you're doing sit ups..and it really hurts your abs! hahah!

Good job, ya hula hooping helps a lot w/ the stomach. I was gonna start it, but I got off track b/c I couldn't do it very well. I just use the Gazelle Freestyle Elite, it helps a lot.

Oh but plz be careful, because my friend, despite losing weight, has some bruises on her waist because the hula hoop is so heavy! ~~MissyK~~
