I have been on other boards on ivillage and have lurked here a few times


I turned 40 on Saturday. And I want to make some changes in my life. I have had some health problems and have slowly been making changes- eating better, walking, walking, walking


And I felt it was time to do more. So I bought Hip Hop Abs with my bday money from my dad. And I have been doing it for the last 3 days. It works for me because I have

Welcome, PMM! Do you have a shorter name we can use? :-)


I bumped up an excellent post Nancy wrote to another newcomer and thought you might like to read that if you haven't seen it already. I think you'll be right at home at the board here. I have the Hip Hop Abs DVD, but am terrible about exercising to DVD's at home. I got involved in Zumba Feb. '07 and love that because it is dance based, but more of international type dances. You might enjoy that. You can check out where classes are at www.Zumba.com. Many YMCA's offer classes. If you don't like the first instructor check out another, because they vary greatly.


We have another Canadian member named Shar. She hasn't gotten to post much lately, but is a very gifted artist.


Hope you'll become a regular.

Hey there and welcome to the FOF board. We are a great group of ladies with lots of support and encouragment. Do you have a first name or do you prefer Monkey? I have not done the Hip Hop Abs but it looks like fun. We have a couple of ladies that do Jazzercise and Zumba which are dancing exercise classes and they absolutely love it...and it shows. We look forward to getting to know you better, stick around!

Thanks for the welcome. I post on a couple of other boards, and usually get called "purple" and thats okay with me.


It's been along time since anyone called ME monkey (like my mom when I was little), but I do sometimes call my kids, my little monkeys.


Basicly, I'll answer to anything. LOL!
