I have been a yo yo dieter forever now and here I go again. I have lost weight very well before with bellydancing. Bellydancing works the core muscles perfectly and tones you up so after the weight loss, flabby skin is not present...it also makes you feel so sexy as you do it. Here is what I use:
Rania (series of tapes and dvd's)
hip hop hip drop is the best ever!
veena and neena
salima salimpour
i found these at all stores for 15 plus dollars but at ross i got them for 5.99 each.
go to the store and buy 3 yards of satin fabric for a veil and shimmy away!
then i visit bellydancer web sites for pics and info and plan to fit into a dress soon!!! the music is awesome and exotically beautiful. i suggest classic egyptian styles...the give the most workout. music of lebanon.com has some great ones!
happy shimmies!

Thats interesting! I might try it!

Sounds Great! I hope that I can find some Cd's and get started
How much weight have you lost so far?

A cousin of mine has the Veena and Neena bellydancing collection. She convinced a my aunt and I to do it with her over Thanksgiving. It was a lot of fun!! I only did it that once, but I could see how you could lose weight with it. We were all panting and falling on the ground by the end (although that could have had something to do with the fact that we were laughing our heads off the entire time)
