Congratulations and keep up the good work. I wish I would lose that much in a month. My losses are small, like 3-4 inches a month, but hey. better than nothing and staying the same.

Ok. I am too giddy right now. I lost 12 inches and 4lbs in my first month. I won a t-shirt because I lost over 10in. It was great. Everyone clapped and yelled. It made me want to work that much harder.

Well, I will post more later. Just wanted to keep you updated.

Curves Rocks!

Congratulations Cassandra. What an awesome feeling isnt it?
Unfortunately I havent had time to go to curves much these last 2 weeks, so my next weigh in, may be affected. Although I just bought the Body flex, and started doing that last night, so im hoping that it will help me burn off the inches also.
Well I just got home from my long day, I have to go make myself and BF dinner. Hope everyone is doing well.

I joined Curves but have not gone consistently. After reading all of these posts I am inspired to go again. I like it because it is over right around the time that I am getting bored.....I will commit to the three times a week starting tomorrow...thanks for the inspiration!!!

Thanks for everyones kind words...thats why this is such a great board. Everyday since I measured someone new will come in to sign up... and the owner will always say "you see that girl right there...she lost 12 inches." I just smile and giggle. The feeling is unreal.

I hope my little 12 inches inspires all. I know it did me.
(I know you can do it Rowan Bailey)

You all be sweet!

Wow Cassandra,, now your my inspiration. I have gone every night this week except Monday. Picnic at school with the girls was more important. I didnt even eat there (hot dogs and chips.. ick)
well ok they taste good but didnt want to blow the eating plan farther than I already have.

Hey Precious, great job on the 11 inches. way to go girl.. Keep it up.. Fantastic!!

Havent measured or weighed in yet this month.. Might wait a week or so.. WHOS TOM??? lol, might be the reason I'm putting off gettin measured?

Went shopping and can't find those darn rainbow suspenders, will keep looking cuz those pants are getting toooooo baggy :

You guys are doing great, dedicating time to going to curves, can't wait to see all the results. I have the curves book and its very informative, lots of eye opening information, especially if you were one of those cut way down on what you eat kinda dieters.. if you are or were please read it. The diet is reasonable although I have not tried either one. There is a low carb and low fat/calorie plan. Tried atkins but it left me kinda tired and cranky.

Who's getting bruised on the machines? I was getting some of those initially when I started too, although I do have a tendency towards having low iron, I found that on some of the machines like the one that you pull the bars down with your arms, if someone left it down when I got on the machine, I could bump the back of my arms on the machine just getting on.. Not hard but enough to leave a mark.. Took me a few to figure out how I got it.

well girls.. Its time for bed. I did jog 2x this week also but although by eating hasnt been bad it hasnt been great either. Can I have a little fairy to sit on my shoulder and consume anything bad for me when I try to put it in my mouth? SIGH. can I borrow some will power?

Great job ladies. Keep up the curving.. will post as soon as I can.

Hi gals,

Cassandra - congrat on your inches lost!!! I can't wait until my measurements next week. I am noticing a little less tightness and I peaked at the scale last week and was down some (although my home scale doesn't show as much). I haven't figured out if my scales are off or theirs are. They said that they have theirs checked everytime the machines are checked, so I guess I better go with theirs. Mine is just some inexpensive digital ones, although when I was on WW it was pretty accurate. But, then again, WW were digital also. Curves has the doctor's type. Are those supposed to be more accurate??

shadesOme - I'm the bruiser!! They have gotten better and I watch now how I get on and off the machines. I was hitting my flabby thighs on the handles alot and I think that caused most of the bruising.

Rowan Bailey - hope you have recommitted. I go almost every day, except this week it will only be 4 days. I did however get a walk in on the 2 off days. I haven't cut my eating back to WW level, but I notice that I do eat differently the more I exercise!

A big HI to everyone I might of missed!!

Well, time for bed! Hope you all have a great holiday weekend. Kids are back to school on Tuesday, so maybe my life will settle down a bit. These last 2 weeks have been horrible.

Take care,

bringing to the top so Beacon can check us out

Thanks, Sheri! Wow...makes me want to run right over to Curves. Do you know if you can use your membership at any of the Curves locations? Do they have changing areas? I know I will see all that when i go over...but just wondering.

Thanks again!

I have been a member since June and went 0 times. After reading this post...I want to go now!! I just had surgery the 28th...I hope I can stay motivated to get there in a couple weeks when the doctor releases me! Thanks for posting.

Hi workinprogress....Do go to Curves. It has been the best thing I have done for myself in a very long time. It's fun and easy. You will have a great support system as you "curve" to the music! Hope you are recovering well from your surgery.

I have only went a couple times. I really enjoyed it when I went. You know how it is when you get out of the habit...or should I say don't get into the habit. Thanks to this thread, I am ready to get started! As soon as I get the ok, I am going to get going again. I only live about 2 miles from my local Curves. Sad, huh.

The closest Curves to me is 8 miles, but I enjoy it so much and have had such good results that the drive to and from there doesn't bother me. You are fortunate that there is a location only 2 miles away. I do hope you are able to get back into it as soon as your doctor allows it. Good luck!

Hello ladies,

Sorry I havent posted in a while. I have been so busy, I actually forgot about this group. Besides the fact that I stopped going to curves because i just bought a bodyflex and I wanted to see the results of just the body flex for the first couple of weeks. I was really impressed with my first week. I lost 9.5 inches. Ive been feeling under the weather this week, so I will start back at curves next week, and keep going in addition to my body flex.
I see we have new people here.
Or at least new to me....

workinprogress... I hope you are recovering well from your surgery. I hope it was nothing too serious. Im sure you 'll be back to your old new self in no time.

Beacon- Yes and Yes... When you sign up at a Curves you can ask for a travel pass, and you can use it at any Curves.
I go to 2 different CUrves on a regular basis. One by my house and one by work. and I have been to one by my moms house one time also.
All of them have changing areas. At least the ones that I have been to. And if they dont , They all have bathrooms, and you can use that to change in.

It seems as where I Love there are new Curves Locations popping up everywhere. And to think that I had never heard of them before May, now they are everywhere here.

Ok ladies Well It's 9 pm here and I keep promising myself that Im gonna start getting to bed early, So Im going to do do my Body flex, then Im off to bed. I hope that everyone is doign well, and I will check back again soon.

Mia
