Thick Girls like Me
Hello Everyone,
I’m so excited to be a part of this wonderful page. Even though it took me several months to decide whether I would fit or not. I’m new to pole and I have tried regular pole fitness groups. They were good but with time and feeling comfortable it somewhat became an issue for me. I am 5’1 and I’m what they call back home a Thick bone girl. Lol. I always feel like I’m not able to do some things because I’m thick with booty and thighs. Is there anyone like me? I often follow pole championship and pole Champs videos but you never see Thick toned ladies learn to pole. I always wondered why not. I love my size even though I need to tone But it would be nice to know I’m not alone. -

Look around at the pictures and videos on here…..there are more “thick” people than what is represented in most competitions.

Hey Ambience!
I can totally relate to the challenge of being a “Thick girl,” though I wouldn’t call myself fat by any means. As a friend said last weekend, “There is just nothing dainty about us!” and she is so right. I’m 5’7″, and since starting running, I’m maintaining a 200lb steady weight. I am NOT small! I’m also mostly all leg and hip, so… that one gets to be fun π
I think it can be a bit tough for us seeing so many beautiful dancers who have long, lovely legs and arms, and seem so lean. I’ve thought previously that I would love to have a longer torso, to balance me out, and so that people would stop telling me “Well, you don’t LOOK like you’re that little!” when I tell them I’m smaller around my middle than they think.
However, I think there are far more of us than we think, and I think that our proportions are something to celebrate! We only need to work just a little harder to get our hips up over our heads- and we don’t have to work nearly as hard to lock our legs around the pole and be able to balance upright π Everyone has their own challenges, and with love and determination, we can all be awesome at what we want to do!As for putting up a picture, you can upload a picture of you from your computer onto the site. You do it through your profile page, which you can find if you click on your name over to the right π
Welcome to SV! Excited to see you around here π

Thanks Neesy!! I’m definitely feeling the love. I really want to learn the pole position that you are doing on your profile pic. Is that open V hold? I’m not good With name.

It’s called the Teddy. That’s what they call it at the studio I used to go to. Most moves have different names and I’m really bad at keeping track!Γ°ΕΈΛβΉ

Thanks. I will try to post a video of me trying the Teddy. I’m still learning how to post on here and what the challenges are for the month, but I don’t my video challenges to go to FB, instagram or twitter. I just want them to be on here so you guys can give me pointers. π

I don’t think we can upload pictures or videos directly from our phones… you can always transfer them to your computer, though, and upload them to the site on there!
And Neesy’s move is still called the Teddy here too- it’s tough! I’ve been working on that one, too π -
I only upload from my phone I’ve had droids and iPhones … I may be able to help?! What’s it doing when you go to upload? π
-
Thanks Runemist.. it is hard but Ima try it. Lol now let give you a disclaimer fist. Lol mine is not going to look pretty and since there are no booty shorts to fit all this I got, Lol excuse the booty cheeks showing pass my booty shorts. Lol π do I go to my profile to upload it?
-
Hey Shoogstandley.. π I don’t know what to click on my phone S5 to make my gallery come up to attach it. I jus figured out how to get a pic on here but not a video. Do I go to my profile again to upload the video Or go just to videos?
-

Thanks Phoenix.. I appreciate it because I got plenty. π I will try to upload this booty shaking move that I been trying to learn from watching the strip club dancer that does it really nicely. Lol I don’t know what it’s called but I know you suppose to shake it or clap it on the pole. Lol But again mine DOESN’T LOOK NOWHERE NEAR how I saw it. Lol That’s my disclosure package for you to get idea of what it is I’m trying to do. π
