Can hula-hooping makes my waist slimmer?

Hula-hooping is my new hobby. I have been practising for the past few weeks and can decently spin a few dozen times. I consider this as a form of exercise and I practically sweat it out daily for half an hour for now. I am wondering if hula-hooping can really make my waist slimmer. How long will it take to see significant results, if there is any?

If your are raising your heart rate while doing it then yes it can help you lose weight. The actual hooping action is very effective on toning up your stomache muscles but by going for a run or whatever you can also lose weight on your waist. They say that one of the best things for using all your muscles is swimming so maybe you should think about that and it is a little more comfortable and fun.

I'm not very sure about this since some people say YES and some say NO. However, I heard that some overweight hula hoop may harm your organ since it is too heavy.
