hello all. i'm new to the site and just wanted to stop in and say hi to everyone. i just ordered my xpole a few days ago and i'm very excited about learning to pole. i've always loved dancing and now that i have a new found fascination in poling, i'm hoping that combining the two will help me to lose a little weight while having fun. once i've got a hang of a few moves i'll be posting some videos as well. thanks for reading. i look forward to meeting a few friends here with the same interests in poling as myself.

Hi, Goodluck with the poling I'm sure you will be an addict in no time and hope to see some videos from you soon. I've lost a fair bit of weight since I started poling and have really toned up so I'm sure you'll manage that weight loss you're after. Cxxx

Hi! Diet is so very important if you want to work on weight loss. You can start it even before you get your pole! Start cutting out fatty foods, processed foods and try to eat more fresh things period (fruits, veggies) and lean meats (tuna, chicken breast). small changes can make big differences. I look forward to seeing your vids and watching you progress.

Welcome! 🥂 Sissy makes a great point, you can change your diet right away. You will notice a change in your energy level too if you cut out the processed and fast foods. Don't forget to eat breakfast 😀

Don't forget to eat breakfast 😀 thank you veena and sissy. you have both made some great points. i'm planning on changing up my diet and exercise starting this sunday. i aiming for a fresh start at the beginning of the week (gotta mentally prepare myself for no more junk food 😮 ). my big thing has always been the fast foods. sometimes it's just so convenient but i'm gonna have to work hard on cutting that out and making some healthier choices. i remember going through all of this after my first son (lost 25 lbs) and it was hard but i really need to make some changes now before it gets out of hand. thanks so much for your support and advice. 😀

WEll im still in my first month, and have lost 12 pounds and 4 inches so far! 🥂 🥂 I had to take a 3 day break cuz i was pushing myself a little too hard, but ive managed not to gain anything during that time. 👍 👍 I was thinking that too, how funny it was that i want a pole so dog on bad 😂 My goal is to lose 30-40 pounds, and Im trying to do it in small chunks, goal of 10 lbs per month. That helps me a lot cuz when I see how far AWAY i am from the total 30-40 lb goal i get discouraged but giving smaller numbers keeps me from getting down. lol. Its funny how we gotta trick our minds to do things, lol.

Girl please, when I was waiting for my pole I was a hot mess. My husband had so many jokes for me because I was like a little kid waiting for a toy and when I got it, it was on! LOL....I'm excited for you! I can't wait for you to get it!

Well I guess, if you lose 1-3 lbs a week it's possible in a healthy way but I have to ask...how are you doing it? What are you eating and are you eating often? Sorry for the intrusive questions but I'm a tad bit obsessed with people losing weight in a healthy way and not an extreme faddish way, because that doesn't tend to last. 😉 😁

Welcome littledreams!!! It sounds like you are on a great start to your fitness goals. The first couple of weeks are the hardest, but after that it gets a little easier.
