Thumbs up Wow!!!!!

Good for you Tori34
I have dieted pretty much my entire life and I hate exercise but what I did realize is that exercise is what I need to do or I will never have the body that I want. This is my 3rd week of Curves and I'm also on their plan and I feel great!!! I have to weigh in tonight and I don't get my measurements done 'til next week.
You're right we all need modivation to keep going..it is so easy to slip...for me that usually means and down hill spiral and it's hard to get back up. That is why I'm here. I guess I need the motivation and the feeling that there are other people out there that are truckin' along just like me. Yes, I am one of those people that has a friendship circle of skinny people and I don't feel they quite relate to me considering I don't recall any of them ever going on a diet... Do I sound bitter? TeeHee...
Congradulations and keep going

I'm still going to curves 3 days a week. I've been going to womens work out world on my off days. I like to do the cardio machines there like the elliptical and treadmills.

I'm the biggest looser at my curves now at 48 inches lost!

I'm getting a bit fustrated at how expensive it is at $39 a month with limited equipment.

48 inches! WOW and CONGRATS! That is wonderful.

I think after I have been there a while I may get tired of the same thing. I don't know. I try to do other things on my off days from curves to mix it up some becuase I know I couldn't do the same thing all the time on the same machines.

Do you find you have to work out harder the more you lose? I guess you probably do since you get yourself in better and better shape

Anyway, keep up the good work!

I am still curving it!!! I lost another 8.8 inches overall for a total of 15.7 inches and 22 pounds!!!

I love Curves for the sames reasons - I am getting results and it is quick! I don't think I will ever get tired of Curves because I don't have time to go to a full gym and I don't like to workout that much. Once I workout I feel great and I keep going back but I don't need the "Ballys" atmosphere to feel like I am getting a good workout.

I love my CURVES!!!

I've been going to Curves for about 6 weeks, and I go 3 or 4x per week. At my weigh-in on Feb 9, I'd lost 6 lbs and 14 inches.

Even though I think I need more cardio exercise than Curves provides, I feel really comfortable there -- more so than other women-only gyms I've tried. So I will definitely keep going.

I just discovered 3FC a couple of days ago, and I am joining Curves next week. They're having a special that you don't have to pay the $150 start up fee, so I'm going to grab it. It's like 2 minutes away from my house, so I figure it'll be kind of hard to come up with excuses not to go! Hopefully, this works out for me. I am so tired of being fat. My goal is to be down to 150lbs by the time I graduate from San Diego State University; because unfortunately, I could be passed over for a great job because of the way I look.

Anyway, I will probably be posting on here more when I finally start Curves.
Wish me luck!

Hi all...

Marinelvr80 - Good for you signing up for curves. I really like it and if you just go the first time it is not bad...I am one of those people scared of new things and I am not an exercise buff.

I have been to Curves 4 times this week I usually weigh in on Mondays to chart my progress but I couldn't help myself - scales were down another 3 pounds but I am not to count them just yet...Hopefully monday's weigh-in will be the same or less.

I am able to actually feel the muscles in my arms and thighs now.. and that feels like progress to me!

Keep up the good work everyone..and post your accomplisments!

Default Just started curves

I just signed up tuesday, Had my 1st work out last night and I am going back tonight. So far I really like it! It seems to be a really good work out. I can't wait to see results. I am also changing my diet and the amount I eat. I am starting out @ 221 but my home scale says 226. I want to get to 130. Good luck everyone!

I'm a big Curves fan too! I've been going 3x a week for 2 years and 4 months now and I've lost 33 lbs. Of course, I'm watching what I eat too.

I had been stalled out with my weight loss lately, so I've started walking on my treadmill for 20 min. on days I don't do Curves. I'd like to walk more outdoors but I have an old foot injury and my foot can go "out" without warning - so I worry about walking too far from home. I really love it that Curves is a low impact workout and I've gained a lot of strength in my arms and legs.

When I started out I had a 'frozen' shoulder due to mastectomy surgery. Now I have full range of motion in that arm.
