I think you should bump the Hula Hoop and stick to the pilates tape. Hula Hoop is simply toooooo much work. LOL

I try to do simple things to keep in shape because I am lazy and hate exercise...I park far away...try to walk if i can...i will purposely take trips even if i know i can carry everything inside with one, i leave some food on my plate, i don't eat really late at night, i do squats in the shower, and i laugh a lot...you should see how tight my stomach is from just laughing....it's probably the best exercise/medicine
good luck to you...xoxo

Hi Symph!
I used to do a hoola hoop as a kid. Not sure if I could still do it!

DivineDiva, that's a great idea, but being Irish, my appetite for self
destruction is far greater than my appetite for self improvement.
I am having an Irish coffee with cream at the moment & loving it.

A New Year's Blogit Weight Loss support group
I'm with you Symph, the last few months have played havoc with my diet. What if we held a Blogit support group so we could whinge and moan about dieting and support each other in our quest to lose weight? The winner gets a prize?

Beginners should use the smallest hoop diameter since that is easiest to control. The skipping rope is one of the most effective exercise gadget. Skip with your favorite music/tv program etc. After every mouthful of food, take a mouthful of water.

I can a little - but in danger of giving myself whiplash along with it.

Symph...
even if you extend your arms and use the hula on them...great arm exercises by the way...you're getting some use from it. Good luck! I think you're a beauty anyways.

Symphony-
I just left your a message on Pat'sB. comment page but I'm with you on the dang hoola hoop. I could hoola forever when I was a kid but I'm lucky to get a dozen revolutions these days. Try standing with one foot slightly in front of the other, spread apart, knees bent and jus make small back and forth movements with you hips. I saw other women use his technique and go for as long as they wanted. Good luck!

SYMPHONY, a good brisk walk on a regular basis helps..the pounds don't
fall off too quickly, but they do in time, and what's left is firmed up (both my wife and I can vouch for this)..

Why not just dance in the kitchen - or wherever you can play your tunes
Have a bit of fun for half an hour (or until you need a rest) shakin' it to your favorite rocker... Don't think of it as exercise or good for you or anything. It's just be-bopping booty-shaking fun. My personal favorite for this is the Eagles "Hell Freezes Over" album. If you burn off a few calories or add a little slack in your slacks, so much the better. :)

Hula Hoops are OK; put jump ropes are much better!
Also, a small trampoline (some are only 3 feet in diameter) is a great low impact workout!

I used to love to hula hoop. It's been so long I don't know if I can still do it...Don't be so hard on yourself...enjoy life and eat well. You darn sure don't look like you have any fat to worry about. You're a very beautiful woman inside and out. Now good luck with those resolutions...Happy New Year...drink one for me and I will drink one for you!

Ha! Ha!
Do not feel alone. A hoola hoop always ends up around my ankles without even on revolution.
