the 4 inches was in more like 6 weeks. I have now lost more then that and lost about 17 lbs. went down over a full size (from 8's being tight to 6's being loose) I'm a lot stronger and poling is so much easier both with the added muscle and less weight. I'm now doing Jillian's ripped in 30 workout needed a change.

mine likes to take pictures of me, using my semi-pro camera lol. I have a nice canon 30d because I can not live without a good camera I took several years of photography in high school and worked for a camera store. He does a pretty good job.

you should never go all day without eating. It triggers your body that you are starving and it goes into fat storage mode. small amounts several times a day is much better for your metoblism.
As far as for long term healthy eating try eating clean as mentioned above get rid of sugars, white flour, processed crap, booze and soft drinks. eat good for you foods. Have a spluge now and then, I don't really say a splurge day, if I'm going out and know I'm going to eat out and have a couple of drinks I eat "healthy" during the day as usual then have a "splurge" night. Or in a couple of weeks we are doing a doughnuts with mom's at school. I will go have doughnuts with my kids. The rest of the day will be healthy. Working out on a regular basis helps too 🙂
Oh and I'm not a big scale girl. Why? muscle weighs heavier then fat. If your working out and building muscle the scale is going to go up. I go by measurements and how my clothes fit. When I started adding the Jillian 30 day shred to my routine back in October I didn't lose a single pound. I however lost 4 inches of my waist….I'll take the 4 inches and stronger muscles for poling over pounds any day.

I have very dry skin and just started using it about a week ago and my skin is different already. I'm able to apply and pole right away but that is not what is reccomended.
The only thing I don't like is the pump, it only gives you a tiny squirt with each pump and even though a little goes a long way its sort of annoying.

I have the Grid, it is the one Alethea uses. I've only tried it once really need to to using it. I have Be Spuns dvd too need to whip that out and watch it.

one of my cousins posted these on my Facebook wall a few weeks ago, she was teasing me because I hate wearing tennis shoes to work. I'd love to get these and wear them however I walk about 6 miles a night and pull heavy skids so no go.

I was complaining to my husband that after having child #2 I needed to get back in shape (I have ridden horses and been fit most of my life) but needed a fun way to do it. He bought me Shelia Kelly's begininng dvd. I threw it on the self and didn't touch it. I was again complaining about needing a fun workout and he reminded me of the tape. I told him it couldnt be much of a workout but to prove it to him put it in and did it. Holy cow the next day I couldn't move. I admitted it was tougher then it looked. That is just FLOOR work. I found the S forum and was posting there a couple of months when I was lucky enough to be selected to fly to LA and be part of an infomercial for the DVD set. It was there I got to touch a pole for the first time, and met a bunch of fantastic ladies. We were in a bit of a tough place money wise so a pole wasn't really an option at the time. The wonderful ladies on S unknown to me were raising money for me to have a pole and one of the girls gave me a pole and the money they had raised went to shipping and the vautled ceiling adapter I needed for my ceiling. I spent time at home over the next couple of years learning on my own. On a trip to San Fran did some more S factor lessons. But for the most part I learned on my own until last year. Last year was my "year of pole" I went to Chicago to study for teacher training with Empy (which by the way I highly recommend her program for teacher certification!) in June. Went to Detriot in July for workshops with Karol Helms pole jam and (because Empy made me lol) performed in a showcase. In August I worked more on my teacher cert with Empy, did the midwest pole jam and showcase including a workshop with Gravity Plays favorites (wayyyyy over my head but fun anyway) in Nov I went to Dance Wicked and got to take a lesson from Michelle Minx, Leigh Ann Reily, Fawnia, Karol Helms, fyrestarter and with the lovely burlesque dancer Lola Van Ella. (which I also highly recommend dance wicked for a fun vacation that involves pole!) performed in the showcase there too. My husband is my biggest fan and greatest supporter. There is only one studio in town and its downtown (I took a couple of lessons there too last year) and we are going to open one on the east end of town 🙂

lol getting shoes to match all my outfits in ones that will and won't slide on carpet would be more expensive then putting down hardwood 😉
-
heat the plastic with a hairdryer it will stretch a bit.

kittyclimber Empy has a good instructor certification program in Chicago.

those are interesting and might work for some of the others in the thread. I would need way too many of them to do the area I'm looking at doing because I have two poles in my living room and I want to have the same surface between poles.
-
I just did my test for group fitness through AFAA waiting on the results. I'm also in the process of getting my Pole certification through Empy and her courses are approved through AFAA.

@Glitterhips – and if she still won't budge just start bringing the pole to family functions https://www.studioveena.com../../img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
I did that. I took mine on our disney vacation. My mother and mother in law are NOT the problem in my life. it is my sister who was on my vacation with us. She has gone on for MONTHS about she doesn't know why the "stripper pole" had to go on her vacation. Well #1 it was MY vacation. she invited herself and her husband along. My in laws supplied the condo. It was nice having them there to help with the kids. #2 I never poled in front of her or her husband. My pole time was while they were in their room or the day they took the kids to sea world. 3# I can not help it if she is the biggest fudy duddy in the world.
