    Default weight loss since you started dancing

    I was just curious to know how much weight you've lost since you started dancing?

    When I first started dancing I was about 115 and in okay shape (I'm 5'2)...I put on about 19lbs from drinking too much at work and eating the worst food on the planet....but now that I've cut out drinking alcohol at work, changed my dancing style, and my diet; I'm now down to 113. I've toned up quite a bit (I notice the changes mostly in my stomach and thighs).

    Mainly was curious to see if among a bunch of us there would be an overall average

    The funny thing is I lost about 30 pounds of fat within the first 2 months but put on a lot of muscle. It was really cool seeing my 6 pack on my stomach come through and how muscular I was. This will not happen to all dancers, a few I worked with just got really skinny.

    When I say I changed my dancing style I mean this;

    When I first started I wasn't really sure how to dance (as I'm sure all first timers start out), so I just tried to do a lot of booty-popping and dancing you would do at a normal club.

    As time has gone on with me dancing, my dance style has become a at more about the actual art of striptease - mixed with some contemporary dance and ballet moves. It's more graceful. The fat loss/muscle definition I've seen....has been a big confidence booster!

    But this was what I meant by changed/evolved my dancing style

    I weighed about 125 when I started dancing, now I'm 105 and have a lot more muscle than I used to. When I go too long without working, I start to feel flabby... it's my main (only) form of working out.

    I'm 5'3" and have always been pretty tiny. When I started dancing I weighed about 105. I dropped to 98 lbs or so, and since then have been killing myself on the pole and gaining weight like crazy. I now weigh 112 which is heavier than I've been in my entire life, but I look way better than I ever have.
