Hi Hoopgirl fans!
Seeing as there are so many of you who wanted to be a part of some kind of challenge, but didn't have 20-50 lbs to loose, I was wondering if you have any brilliant ideas about a contest to create.
Our goal is obviously to create wonderful testimonials which we can use to promote our products online and in ads, etc. Even though *we* know the results of HoopGirl hoops and products are MUCH more than just physical, these sorts of stories do appeal to 99% of the people out there shopping for fitness products.
I am open to other ideas that would open up another contest to others, which could create testimonials of some kind which could also be useful.
Perhaps something around how use of HoopGirl hoops has helped seriously change/improve some medical, psychological condition, injury, life situation?
I think we need to keep the teacher training award for the first contest because loosing that much weight is a HUGE achievement... but we can create something with a substantial prize to award the winner/s of this contest.
Please share your ideas and let's see what we can cook up!

Re: Ideas for a Contest for those of you who have little weight to loose?
Wed, March 26, 2008 - 6:00 PMThat would be great Christabela! I was also disappointed when I saw how much weight you need to lose. I've been hooping for a while so I'm thin enough.
I started hooping when my youngest son of 3 left for college. It's funny because at first I didn't even share my hooping. But now I've found my sons think it's very cool!! When they come home to visit they always wanna see my newest learned trick!
Hooping means alot to me! I think it keeps me from getting old! I guess we all have different stories, maybe that would be a great contest. Sometimes people need to live a little and just do something for the fun of it. Now all my friends hoop when they come over it's such a part of my life! -

Wed, March 26, 2008 - 8:02 PMI know that I like to hoop when I'm angry or upset. It always seems to calm me down. But I can't really say that it has permanently improved my mood.....its more of an ongoing therapy. :-) -

Thu, March 27, 2008 - 2:21 PMI have dealt with depression all of my life. I feel like hooping brings me happiness. It helps me to stay positive. I am in the best shape of my life! It raised my health awareness and now I am eating better than ever! Through hooping I have found a way to meet lots of great people and help them find the joy that I have found. Also I have always had trouble sleeping & hooping helps me sleep well. My life is greatly improved with a hoop - or a hundred hoops.. around! Hooping has affected my spirituality and there seems to be more and more synchronous events happening more & more in my life. I fully believe in the power of attraction and hooping has shown me the power of spinning intentions into existance.
Whoo HOOO!
Peace and Love to you all!

Re: Ideas for a Contest for those of you who have little weight to loose?
Sat, March 29, 2008 - 10:29 AMHooping helped me channel my energy into positive healthy things. Before I discovered hooping and poi I was into the party and rave scene. I was doing A LOT of drugs and drinking all the time. I felt terrible, mentally and physically but I couldn't stop until one of my friends introduced me to fire poi so I joined a group called the Humboldt spin collective and thats where I learned how to hoop. Now my life is so much better. I'm not addicted to drugs or alcohol any more and I've been clean for about 4 months, I've been losing weight, and I haven't been sick this whole semester. Thank you hooping!
