Hoopnotica/Hooping
An00bis, I'm a nurse and I've worked physical therapy. Physical therapy is for far more than you realize. Therapists are having client who are physically inactive and overweight do weighted hoops to help them develop their core muscles and reduce lower back strain by working muscle that don't get used much in other ways.

Hoopnotica/Hooping
Interesting.....I'm going to say the opposite as the previous person. I don't think they realize the hoops are weighted and therefore, do offer some resistance but mainly, it's an aerobic workout. You'll be using lots of muscles, mainly your core, and you'll have to work on balance.

There's a reason that physical therapists are starting people on hula hoops these days!! And they have medical degrees!

I would never say it's the perfect workout and it won't replace say, weight lifting but if it isn't fun, you aren't going to do it so why not?

Humour in dieting...
A DIET PRAYER - author unknown

Lord, my soul is ripped with riot
incited by my wicked diet.

"We Are What We Eat," said a wise old man!
Lord, if that's true, I'm a garbage can.
To rise on Judgment Day, it's plain!
With my present weight, I'll need a crane.

So grant me strength, that I may not fall
into the clutches of cholesterol.
May my flesh with carrot-curls be dated,
that my soul may be poly unsaturated.

And show me the light, that I may bear witness
to the President's Council on Physical Fitness.
And at oleo margarine I'll never mutter,
for the road to Hell is spread with butter.

And cream is cursed; and cake is awful;
and Satan is hiding in every waffle.
Mephistopheles lurks in provolone;
the Devil is in each slice of baloney.

Beelzebub is a chocolate drop,
and Lucifer is a lollipop.
Give me this day my daily slice
Cut it thin and toast it twice.

I beg upon my dimpled knees,
deliver me from jujube's.
And when my days of trial are done,
and my war with malted milk is won.

Let me stand with Heavenly throng,
In a shining robe -- size 30 long.
I can do it Lord, if you'll show to me,
the virtues of lettuce and celery.

Teach me the evil of mayonnaise,
and of pasta a la Milanese...
and crisp-fried chicken from the South.
Lord, if you love me, shut my mouth.

Amen

THYROID
Joining the club! I'm perimenopausal (hate those hot flashes!!), hypothyroidism and PCOS. But Atkins is working! Slowly, but still! And WOW Candy! I'm impressed! 35 lbs is awesome!

Crystal Light
Interesting thoughts....I've never seen any artificial sweeteners raise blood glucose levels and I've been a nurse for nearly 20 years and diabetes runs rampant in my family. I'll have to ask around the hospital but sounds bizarre to me.
