Can anyone tell me if pilates is good for weight loss because everything that I have heard is about it being good to strengten the core muscels. By the way I love the tape:) Also I have two small kids so going to the gym is not a option. This is also the first tape that I have bought that I actually like

Any type of exercise is good for you and will aid you in losing weight. But your food intake is what will make or break the losing weight. The only way to lose body fat is to go into a caloric deficit. Stick to a clean diet and keep doing the exercise and the lbs will come off. Look around and if you want to know more about something type it in the fit buddy search at the bottom and tons of stuff will come up. and if you cant find the anwser just ask, the people here are very friendly and those who know the anwser will help you out. Hope this helps. -------------- There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy and short and one is hard and long. The only satisfaction one can get out of the first is that it was easy, and many people have gone this way. Even the greatest journy begins with a single step, and to take the path less taken gives awsome bragging rights. Moral of this story, The main cause for failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want at the moment.

I am also trying to cut back on eating alot of breads and pasta, but I dont want to stop everything a one time. I would like it to be a gradual process so I will stick to it.
