Didn’t see your comment about low thyroid before. You def new to check in with your MD regarding meds/thyroid levels. You can always ask her about the hcg as well. But, please don’t do the drops, there are way more healthy ways to control your weight.

Anyone I know who has done hcg just gains all the weight back after they stop starving themselves. If you’ve stopped losing, maybe you need a few more calories/day. Or try changing up your workout routine a little.

I love my x stage lite because I can pretty much take it everywhere. I’ve hauled it around by myself a few times, but it does take a few trips back & forth to my truck & it much quicker & easier when my husband is with me.
If its just for your house, i would mount it up instead of using a stage pole. The base is big & the legs are perfect for stubbing your toes. Also, the xpert is more affordable than the xstage. -
I haven’t been to Kodiak, but I can’t imagine there are any pole studios there. There is a dance studio in Anchorage with a class once a week. There’s a studio in Wasilla with pole, but the studio just moved & I’m not sure the time frame for getting new poles for the new place.
Not sure if you get off Kodiak island often, but if you get into Anchorage at all, I’m not too far from there & have a couple poles. -
Ya, Im out in Wasilla. I have a powder coated LM 50 & a xstage lite 45-brass & powder coated poles. I’m almost always in my pole late mornings/early afternoon, come out here any time! I’ll be in Anchorage Saturday & back in Wasilla Sunday, if you want to get together sometime over the weekend or whenever let me know. Finally another poler, I’m always so envious of everyone who gets to pole with other people all the time. I’ll send you a PM

YES!!! I’m here in Alaska too. I know there is a few ladies who enjoy pole in AK, but I don’t know anyone else who loves to pole as much as I do.
I would love to see pole grow up here! I was just down at the Fourth of July picnic in Wasilla with my pole & it went over really well. I’ve been at a few events as well & always had a positive response. Lots of people up here don’t really know what pole is about, but they seem to appriciate it when they see it. -
I’d also like to try hot fix crystals, but haven’t got to it yet

I’ve tried glitter spray & a bedazzler type tool, wasn’t happy with either. I have had good results sewing on sequin strips & my mom has covered a sports bra with sequin fabric for me.

What a variety. So many of you are really educated!
I’ve been a licensed nurse for ten years. Working in skilled/long term care, family med, urgent care, acute inpatient psych for kids, and now I am at a retirement community in my town. I have the best job ever, my residents & coworkers are great.
All my coworkers know I pole, a few of tem have poled with me and a bunch came to a local performance. I don’t share pole with my residents, they are mostly in their 80’s & 90’s and might not understand it. I have no problem with people’s perception of pole, but I do need my residents to be comfortable with me as their nurse.
However, they’ll all get to see me on an aerial hoop this weekend at our anniversary party. Gonna be kinda weird to share a different side if myself with my residents. -
I was required to come up with a stage name last year for an aerial hoop performance-Eva High. Eva is my middle name & what poler/hooper doesn’t want to be high:)

-I do it all, dancy stuff and tricks, I think the athletic part of pole can be sensual too. Definitely more sexy stuff in there when it’s just for him and no one else. Usually try to throw something new/different in too.
-if it’s just for him, I usually surprise him. Dim the lights, throw on some music, & put on a show for him. Even though he was never into strip clubs, he loves when I pole at home for him. I’m sure he likes knowing the effort of it is just for him.
-he is awesome at cheering me on in public as well:)
-I don’t think it has ever not gone well. Not that I’m perfect, but if I make a mistake or anything, we can laugh about it and continue on. -
Thanks chem, I’ll keep that in mind:)

I tried to use fashion tape from Joanne’s so my ass cheeks wouldn’t hang out. So, I taped my shorts right below my butt, that made the shorts stuck to my ass while letting my crotch show. Not the coverage I was looking for. I’ll stick with my ass out and my crotch covered.

Hydrocortisone cream helps irritation from shaving.

I had a bed delivered last year, then a couch 6 months later. The delivery guys come inside and say, “I thought this was the house with the pole!”
I foster dogs and have had a few people over to meet dogs, last person loved the pole.
My favorite reaction was when a couple missionary’s came to my door. I was on mid pole when I saw then walking up my driveway, figured I do a couple more tricks on my way down. After their short visit at the door, one of them said, “um…enjoy the rest of your workout.”. Last time they’ve been here. -
Rixi, don’t worry! I’ve had my x stage lite since last fall and I still love it!
-
$300?! Yup, mine was eighty, including glitter and a clear coat, and I’m in Alaska where everything is expensive.
-
Thank you
-
Thanks! Alaska is a few years behind the times, so it’s nice to get out and share pole with people, especially when it’s for the dogs too.

Awesome and exciting! If you have any kind of small business association/group close to you, they can probably help with requirements needed for a business in your area.

I can’t comment on chrome vs. brass, because I haven’t used chrome. But, I do have the x stage lite with a brass 45 and I love it. I had really poor grip with my legs the first few days, but it improved after cleaning the pole really well. Maybe it’s all in my mind, or I’m just adapting to the size/metal but, it seems like the pole grip has improved after using it for a while.

I haven’t had it happen, but give them a call, Randy was really helpful when I had an issue with my vaulted ceiling mount.

I left the bottom piece on the pole and brought the joint with me to show the guy at the shop how the pole works. He just taped off the bottom part and plugged the holes used for adjusting the joint.
