Hi Everyone! I am back. The last couple of days have been hetic. I had a doctor's appointment Monday morning. It took longer than I thought it would. Then yesterday I had a workshop for school. Then today, I went back to school and had to muddle my way through everything. SO I was really glad to get my 2nd workout in tonight. It felt so relaxing.
Welcome MAGNOLIA BLOSSOM! So glad to have you on our forum. I would stick with the 3 days a week at first. This way your body gets use to it and you don't burn yourself out. Keep it up and you will see results.
I went to my TOPS meeting last night. For the 8th week in a row, I have lost weight. So I was happy with my 1/2 pound loss. I am hoping to lose another 12 pounds by the time my birthday rolls around in May.
Well I better go and crawl in bed before my forehead crashes on to the keyboard. Talk to you all later. '

:wave: Good Morning Everyone!
Hope this post finds you all having OP (On Plan) days!! So far - all is well with me, still not losing but I am not gaining either. I just wish I could see it move... I go soon for another weigh-in & measure, maybe I have lost inches & not wt.

How's everyone else doing?? It's been pretty quiet here the last day or so...

*******

Hi KAR73 :wave:
Sounds like in spite of your days being hectic you are doing very well!!!! :cp: Congrats on your 1/2lb loss :cp: How did you do with your inches? Most times you will see more inch loss then weight loss from doing Curves. You will get the 10 - 12 lbs off if you stick to your plan... you'll see. Get your rest when you can, your body needs that right now.

*******

Have a Wonderful Day Ladies!!!
Stop in and let us know how you are doing :)

Hello All! SunnyD57 found me on another board and asked us to share our positives Curves stories here too :) Here was my reply to someone asking if Curves would work for her:

I've been going to Curves for almost 5 weeks now and am convinced that it is a MIRACLE! My body has changed so much in the past weeks, its incredible. I've been doing modified low carb (much more than Atkins, but still only one third of the RDA) and my calories usually fall under 2000. You're very close to my starting weight - I think if you keep with it you will definitely be succesful.

P.S. - In those 5 weeks - I have only managed to go to Curves the full three times one week - the other weeks I only went two, so if you can do the full three - even better! I'm shooting for 4 times, and am still working on my schedule.

I have my first weigh-in and measurement tomorrow (now today - YAY!) I'm SO excited!

"WELCOME" ALISON aka YOGAKITTY,

So good to see that you have joined us :D It gets quiet here sometimes, but I always hope it's because everyone is very active in their lives and getting in their workouts ;) I do miss everyone when they don't stop in, but eventually I see them come back and touch base with us... which makes me a happy camper.

:goodvibes You are doing so well at Curves ~ :crossed: I hope you had some good news today when you go for your weight & measure... remember that you may see more inch loss then weight loss. I have to tell myself that all the time otherwise I get to feeling disappointed.

Oh Alison, make sure you drink your water too http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_4_49.gif I have found it to be really helpful to get the 64oz. insulated mug from Wal-Mart. Before I got it I was not drinking the water I should have been. I fill it up every morning and get it all down now on top of an extra glass or two :D Thanks to KAR73 --- she told me about the mug and it has worked in getting me to drink what I should. Mine is White with a Blk Lid and all around it on the sides of the mug are water tips... I really like it. There are all kinds of colors to pick from.

Come back and let us know how you are doing, okay :)

Hello everyone! SunnyD57, Kar73, Wryly, Nyssareen, ChubbyO, Bandit2, AimeeJane, and anyone else I may have missed! Hope everyone is doing good, and still getting their Curves in. :)

WELCOME MagnoliaBlossom and yogakitty. Great to see you both here! I'm so glad that you are enjoying Curves! Please keep us updated with your progress! We love to hear it! :)

For those who are just starting Curves, I would recommend going 3 times a week for the first 3 - 4 weeks, just so you don't over do yourself while working out. Though I'm not with Curves currently, I do remember when I started, I tried to go 5 days a week, and boy was I sore! Its good to start off slow, and let your muscles adjust to the workout. Not to mention, remember to do your stretching after your workout. Your body will REALLY thank you for it afterwards. ;) And what SunnyD57 said about keeping your head back on the equipment, that is good advice. It really prevents you from straining the muscles in your neck/shoulders. :)

SunnyD57 - I just LOVE the pictures that you have shared with us! My two favorites are the one of your kitty sleeping in the sink, and the one where your kitty that is in the sink, is staring at your lady bugs...lol :) I just love it! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_1_4.gif

And you are totally NOT weird for keeping your Lady Bugs!!! I think it is an awesome idea, and you really do get to see their behavior, and the way they live! Some say lady bugs are bad, but I love them. My niece DeAnna keeps little collections of Lady Bugs for a while, and then lets them go. Everytime she catches one, she says it means she is going to have good luck. (Which I completely believe.) :)

I must also say, SunnD57 - you can REALLY see a difference from your last picture, to your current picture! Keep up the great work! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_17_1.gif ALSO - I know I'm late, but http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/13/13_10_10.gif Hope it was wodnerful!

I am So looking forward to getting back to Curves. I've missed going for so long, and I know I really need it. :) This coming June, my mom's side of the family is planning a family reunion, and I would like to lose some weight before that comes up. :) So that will be what I need to focus on.

This week is going to be busy for me. My sister, her husband, and my niece are coming down to visit for a week. I'm sure I will be spending EVERY day with them..lol. I'm really looking forward to seeing them all, especially my niece. I may have mentioned before that my sister is pregnant. Well, she is about 5 months along now, and she is expecting another girl! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_1_105.gif We are really excited! She wants to name her Amelia, or Ava.

Well - I'd better get going. Ricardo and I are going to my mother's for dinner tonight, and I have to get ready to go shorlty.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day/evening! Talk with you all soon!

Hi Ladies,
Sorry I have been MIA. But I have been very busy with work, home live and squeezing in my workouts at Curves. I went into night and was pleased to see 5 new people signing up. So I am hoping that if the membership keeps going up that they will extend their hours more. They have extended it to all day on Mondays and Wednesdays. But it would be nice if they did it for other days as well. Well I need to go to bed for now. I will check in later with everyone. I promise not to be gone for so long the next time. Keep up the good work!

Hi everyone:

Had my 2nd weigh/measure at curves last night & have lost 6.50" since joining in Nov.
At my ww meeting afterward I was down 1# so was happy with that since I was at hotel for 2 days with bf. We have alot of social functions & I find that challenging.

Hope everyone is well & being faithful to curves. Bye for now.

Congrats Bandit on your weight loss! I went to and had my second weight in and measurement done tonight. I have lost another two pounds. So that makes it a total of 4 pounds since I joined at the end of Dec. Plus I lost 1/4 of inch in each arm. I stayed the same in everything else though. I just don't know why that is though? Does anyone have any suggestions for this? Or how to break out that slump?
SO how is everyone doing this week? I am great. I have to Curves two times this week so far. I am planning to go either once or twice more. I guess I just need to see what the rest of my week looks like. Well I need to go and get some work done before I go to bed. Talk to you all later.

1st weigh and measure at Curves
 

I joined Curves a month ago and was weighed and measured today. Lost 12 lbs and inches at bust, thigh, waist. I was thrilled. I go 3 to 4 times a week. I had jeans laying on closet floor with the tags still on them. Today they fit. Curves is the place for me. Its fast, convenient. :)

Welcome and Congrats Ruth! That is great news. I try to go three to four times a week. I usually only make it 3 times. Unless it is a very stressful week and then I will go 4 times. That is what I ended up doing last week. I knew if I didn't I would be mean and then drown my sorrows with sweets and junk food. Not a good thing to do.
I cleaned out my closet and drawers last night of some of my old clothes. They are way to big on me now. So I am going to have a yard sale this spring or summer. What ever money I get, I plan to use to buy new smaller, skinner clothes. I even got rid of my winter sweaters and sweatshirts, because I don't plan on being that size next winter. If I don't have it then I wouldn't have to think that I still need to fit into it. Plus this will give me an excuse to go shopping for new clothes. LOL. I hope everyone is enjoying the nice spring like weather we had this weekend. I hope it stays like this until Spring is offically here. It was nice to walk to church this morning and hear the birds singing. I hope everyone is doing fine. Enjoy your workouts this week at Curves.

Hello everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I had such a great time while my sister, her husband, and my niece were in. We did a lot of shopping, and spending time together. It was really nice.

My niece Haley is getting SO big! She is 2 1/2 years old, and you would think she is much older. She talks most of the time using complete sentances, and she really seems to understand a lot that is going on. She is at such a fun age right now. :)

I got some more good news last night. My mother's boyfriend asked her to marry him last night! He called me last night to let me know that he popped the question, and she said yes. I am really happy for them both. :)

Yesterday afternoon I got some walking in. It was REALLY beautiful outside. Mid 50's is quite comfortable to me. Today I didn't get to go out and walk because it is kinda rainy. Blah...don't like rainy days...lol. (That's why I want to get the WATP tapes)

I've been trying to exercise everyday, trying to get back in the swing of things. Still haven't actually gone on an "eating plan" as of yet. That is soon to come though. My sister thinks I should do the Atkins thing, but I really think I'm just going to start reducing my Fat and Calories again - with the help of www.fitday.com - Fitday really helped me stay on track before, so since I know how to use it, I think I will keep using it. ;)

SunnyD57 - That Michael Thurmonds program sounds good. I remember reading once that it is best to eat every 2 - 3 hours because it keeps your blood sugar normal. I - for some reason have never been able to stick to the every 2 - 3 hour plan. I always do the three times a day thing. I really need to try eating every 2 - 3 hours though, because I can get kinda crabby if I don't eat for over an extended period of time lol ;)

Well - guess I'd better get going. I have to leave for work in about 45 min. I hope everyone has an OP day! Keep on Curvin!

Hi: Thanks for the nice welcome. Went by my son & dil over the weekend. Usually when there I eat everything but the furniture. This weekend I was so good it was scary. Stayed op the whole time and kept chuckling to myself how good it felt to get into those 2 pair of jeans that didn't fit before. As a matter of fact, the 1 pair is almost too big. I'm going to Curves after 4pm today when it opens again. Its closed from 1-4pm every day. I weigh myself on Wed. on their scale. I'm doing the South Beach diet along with Curves. Slowing starting phase 2 today. I'll keep you posted as to my visits to curves.

Good Morning Ladies!
I went to Curves again this morning as planned.
Got in my 40/45minutes there (3x around)
and then another 15 minutes of chat time ;)
And I drank all my water yesterday :cp: (64oz + ) too.

How are you ladies all doing??
:^: Rather quiet here lately :^:
Are you all still Curving?
Sure would love to hear from you :goodvibes:

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Good Afternoon Ladies... :) Hope everyone is having a great day so far!

busdriver - Way to go with staying OP at your Son & DIL house! :cp: Sometimes it's so hard not to try and sneak in a few extras while you're out, but you stuck on plan, and did great! Keep up the great work! I'm glad that you like Curves! It's so much fun...isn't it?? :)

SunnyD57 - Yes, I did do a lot of shopping while my sister was here. :) I actually didn't buy much though (which is a shock to even me!) lol. We went to this shopping center called 'Gibraltar Trade Center' and they sell EVERYTHING you can think of. I bought this perfume called "Perceive" and I LOVE it. My mom bought it else where for $29.99 and I got it for $12.99 :hyper: I also bought a webcam so when my sister and I are "chatting" on MSN messenger, we can see each other.

And yes...I do like my mom's fiance' ;) He's an okay guy...lol I'm happy as long as she is happy. :) No set date yet. I want to ask her...but I think I'll give it a few weeks. They probably haven't had much time to think of a date yet. They are in the process of buying a house together, so they've been pretty busy. She did say though, that they might want to get married at the house they are going to buy. It is on quite a bit of land, and would make a nice setting for an outdoor ceremony. :) We'll see though.

SunnyD57, it sounds like you have really been sticking to plan, and exercising about everyday. Way to go! This may sound kinda funny, but I've heard many people say they have an elliptical - what exactly is an ellipitcal? I'd imagine some kind of exercise equipment, but what does it do? Just curios :D

So today, I had "kind of" a bad experience that really MADE me want to lose weight. I went to the bank to make my car payment, and when I came out, a lady was getting out of her car to enter the bank. She had parked right next to me. In her car were three guys, two teenagers, and one about my age (21 -22). They had their windows halfway down, and started saying things to each other about me, and laughing. They kept saying "Look at her...Look at her...That's your girl!" and they kept laughing. :mad: When I got in my car, they kept honking the horn on the car, trying to get my attention, and they kept on laughing. I know it was because of my weight. They certainly were not doing it because they liked me.

At first I was a little upset about it. It kinda hurt my feelings, because I kept thinking, "What exactly were they thinking?" Then I thought...they wouldn't do this to me if I would just lose the weight. I went from feeling like nothing...zip...zero...zilch...to having a lot of confidence, and knew I needed to do something about this.

I know I've been saying that I was going to get back on track, start a new eating plan...but I didn't. So I figured today is the day! I went home, and decided to start using www.fitday.com again and eating healthy!

I came home, and had two hard boiled eggs, a slice of toast, and an apple for breakfast.

Then I pulled out the exercise bike that's been sitting in the spare room, holding clothes, and rode the bike for 15 minutes. I wanted to do 30 minutes, but by fifteen I was REALLY tired. I figure I need to work my way up. So tomorrow I will try to go a little longer. :)

So for lunch, I am having a chicken breast sandwhich, with one slice of cheese (I'll have to remember to buy the lower fat one), and a half a tablespoon of Miracle Whip. Dinner is undecided yet since I get home so late.

Now I need to focus....stay on track...and OP. I am doing this for me.

Well - guess I'd better go...time to get ready for work!

Talk with you all later!

Hi everyone! Sorry have not been posting as much lately. I have been very busy with work. I had a deadline to meet by today and was busy getting that project done. I got it done a day early. I was proud of myself. I rewarded myself by going to Curves to workout. My Curves is doing the Food for Friends drive. They are running a contest for the month for a free tshirt. You have to sign up, bring in a bag of groceries, workout 3 times a week and lose 5 pounds or 5 inches for the month of March. I signed up for it. I thought that was a great motivator to lose 5 pounds this month. Is anyone's Curves doing something like that? Well I am tired so I am going to get some rest. I am hoping to squeeze in two more workouts this week. I went on Monday and Wednesday nights. Monday seemed to drag because they played some very slow music over and over that night. I didn't sweat much that night. last night that had a much faster paced cd in. So I really worked up a good sweat!
Have a wonderful weekend.

Hi Sunny and Everyone else,
I went to Curves tonight and put in a really good workout. I was actually sweating by the end of the first time a round. I went to my TOPS weigh in tonight. I lost three pounds last week. I think I have to owe it to this new coffee I started to drink over the weekend. It is called Java Fit. I bought it at a sports fitness expo in Columbus,Ohio on Friday. It is awesome. It has a stimulant in it that suppresses your appiete. That is what I needed since I was starting to get the munchies alot after working out at Curves. I reached my 20 pound status tonight at TOPS. So now I am going to work on reaching my 30 pound status by the end of this school year. I only have 2 1/2 more months left before I can send my students home for the summer. Don't get me wrong I love my job and my students, but they are all boys and they have reached the age of being a teenager. I don't think I need to say anymore. LOL
Tonight I was out for a walk/jog. I walked 10 minutes and jogged 5. It is a slow start to me jogging more. There were these kids out at the old middle school down the street from my house and they were making snide comments as I jogged past. I just kept right on going and thought to myself I can't wait to see what you look like in about 10 or 15 more years. Then we will see if you still want to make fun of how someone looks. At least I am out there trying to lose the weight and get fitter. I am hoping that my hubby will take me out this weekend to buy a new outfit. I think I might get a dress for Easter. Since I will be joining my church on Palm Sunday.
I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy.
Take care.

Hi Sunny,
I had several coworkers at school today ask me if I had been losing weight. I laughed at them and asked them where they had been for the last year. I have been working out and watching what I eat for the last couple of years. They said that they had not realized it and that I looked great. I was pleased to hear the nice comments. Especially since I have been under a lot of stress at work lately trying to meet my deadlines. I think I might reach this coming Monday's by tomorrow and then I will be so happy. I will only have one more major deadline to meet and that is March 29th. But is starting to feel good to know that the end of the school year is fast approaching. I think I heard someone say today that we only have 53 more days left. Then I will be able to relax a little this summer. I hope! LOL.
I hope you have a great weigh in and measure on Tuesday. You have been working so hard to reach your goals. Keep up the awesome work!
Have a great day tomorrow.

Hello everyone. I'm new to this site and was browsing around when I saw this thread. I'm actually going tonight to join curves and was looking for any success stories to keep me encouraged. I'm hoping to eventually lose about 40 pounds, but I'm in no hurry...wanna make sure I do it slowly so I'll keep it off. :D So, any encouraging words would be greatly appreciated. I'm not the most enthusiastic person when it comes to exercise. ;)

I am new to this thread. I am in the Atkins thread mostly. I have a few things to say about my experience with Curves. I have a friend who was literally kicked out of a Curves for attempting to go more than three times a week. In my opinion, if someone is paying that much to join a facility, they should be able to work out as often as they want! I have checked Curves out and spoken to a rep. about joining, but I was totally UNimpressed. She spoke to me like I was in kindergarten, she didn't really appear to be listening to me and really put the pressure on to join. I think I will stick to doing my pilates at home and walking.

Hi ladies, new here also. And new to Curves. I've read some good and some bad about it. I have until Sat noon to decide to spend the money....my heart says go for it, I've enjoyed the 2 workouts I've done this week and am looking forward to my third tonight. I now have some questions to ask you and I will be asking at my Curves tonight. I've read that more than 3x can be detrimental (sp?) to your weight loss. I guess I find that hard to believe. I've also heard about not going more than 3x around the circuit per work out. Monday was my first time, and I liked it and could feel in my muscles a little. Tuesday I worked a little harder, got my heart rate up a bit more and went about 3.5x or maybe the equivalent of 4. I worked on the boards more (jogging) and then worked 2x on a machine or two that I need more work on. I just wonder what kind of results I should look to get. I'm not so good on my food, but I can say that I've cut back. I've also this week, ditched the caffine. I already drank lots of water, but now that I'm of the Mt. Dew, I drink more water. I need this to work for me! I'm tired of this 50 pounds I'm carrying around. I'm also only 29 and it seems that Curves is for the older croud, which is just fine with me, I fit in about anywhere, but I just wonder if this is right for me. Like I said I think I'll really enjoy it, and the short amount of time needed to fufill requirements of the program is definitly a perk for me. Thanks for listening!! Sunny you are so upbeat and original with your postings, how do you get all that neat stuff???? and to the Kar's keep up the good work, and just remember all those youngsters will be in your shoes in a few years! It just happens to the best of us!! ;)

Hi Everyone. Well, I had my first workout at Curves last night, and let me tell you, I absolutely loved it. I have never, ever, been excited about working out (other than when I played sports when I was younger)...I can't wait to go again tonight. The staff and other members were all so kind to me and each other, it was amazing. The staff knew everyone that came in by name, it was like they were all old friends.

Sunny - Thanks for the support. I'm sure I'll be able to think up a few questions to ask you about Curves and your experiences. Thanks again! :)

Hi everyone and welcome to Loribug and Maimers glad to have you aboard our fourm group. Sorry I have been missing for a few days. I received word late Friday afternoon that my oldest sister had spent the night and most of Friday in the hospital. She was complaining of pains in her right arm. But the doctors ran all kinds of test and did not find anything. So they sent her home and she goes back tomorrow morning for a stress test at 6:50 am. So I have been calling her and checking on her throughout the weekend. I have also been doing school work to keep my mind off my sister's health. I was surprised at how much work I got done yesterday after coming back from my workout at Curves. Well I need to go and try to get some sleep. I only slept 3 hours last night and then took an hour nap this afternoon. So I need my sleep so I am not a grouch tomorrow with my special education students. I need all the patiences I can get to make it through tomorrow since all the other classroom's around my room is testing and I need to keep my boys quiet. You all have a great week! Take care!

Kar - So sorry to hear about your sister, is she doing any better? And thank you for the welcome to the group. You're all so supportive of each other and I'm so glad to be a part of this now. :)

Sunny - Thank you also for all your kind words. You're an inspiration. :D

Unfortunately I was unable to go to Curves on Friday. I had planned on going, but I ended up having to take my mother over to Philly for a "date" with her girlfriends because she doesn't like to drive in the city (lol, even though she's originally from there) and by the time I got back and was ready to go, they were closed. So I ended up going for a walk instead. I did go Saturday morning though, and again, I loved it. :D Yesterday I had a Christening for my cousin, so I ate waaaay too much, but went for a walk again after I got home, at least I did something. Tonight's plan is Curves for a half an hour, then, since it's nice out (54 degrees and sunny), I'm going to go for a walk around the park near my old high school. Figured I best get the walk in today since it's supposed to snow tomorrow. :(

Hope everyone's day's going well so far!

Hello Everyone - Sorry I've been away...again.

Sunny - No, you did not hurt my feelings in any way what so ever. :) Life has been somewhat chaotic, and probably will continue to be so for a little while.

Last week we found out that Ricardo's father has Colon Cancer. This Thursday he will be having surgery to remove a portion of his colon, and he will have a colostomy (sp?) bag for a while. We're still not really sure what's going on, or what the next step will be after his surgery. Ricardo is pretty upset, because he just lost his mother 2 years ago when she was only 56 and now his father is sick. He is taking it pretty hard. :( So we have been spending as much time as possible with his father, helping him around the house, cooking some meals for him, making sure he is getting to his doctors appointments, ect...

I've also been trying to spend a lot of time with my father, as in the beginning of April, he is moving to Ironwood, Michigan to live with my sister. That is about a 12 hour trip for us. I've been helping him get everything together. We've made a list of everything he has to do before he leaves, and each day he completes something, we check it off, just so he won't forget anything. I'm really going to miss him, but I'm sure I'll take many trips up there to see him. :)

My weight loss efforts have been "so-so"..lol. I've still been walking just about everyday. I've found that I cannot use our exercise bike because of the pain that is causes my back & tailbone. When I'm at work, I am in pain just sitting at my desk, so I will not use the bike anymore. I have not weighed myself in a little while, so I'm not sure if I gained, lost, or stayed where I am.

There is a Kroger grocery store just down the road from my house. In their pharmacy, they have a big digital scale that is free to use. Usually when I go grocery shopping, I jump on it, but I haven't been there in a while. So I was thinking once a week I would go there and weight myself.

This week I am also going to buy the "Walk Away The Pounds" tapes. I am thinking that Sam's Club or Wal-mart might have them. I'll have to check them out on payday. I sure could use a tape like that today...because we're getting hit with a mini snow storm. BLAH... lol

Kar73 - Congrats on your 3 lb loss!! WAY TO GO!!! 20 lbs is great! Reading your post reminded me about how GOOD it felt to lose weight, and I remembered the feeling of seeing the scale go down! You are truly an inspiration! :) (Did your hubby take you shopping for a new dress??) Also, I hope that your sister is feeling better.

Welcome Maimers - So glad that you like Curves! It's such a fun place to exercise, meet people, and lose weight/inches! Keep us updated on your progress! :)

Welcome loribug26 - I'm glad that you are enjoying Curves so far. Did you decide to go and get a membership with them? I don't think going more than 3X a week will be detrimental to your weight loss. I think starting off, maybe the first month, you should go 3X a week, just to get adjusted to the work out, and equipment, but I see nothing wrong with going 3 + days per week afterwards. The one thing that IS detramental to your weight loss is not eating ENOUGH. Some people cut their food intake DRASTICALLY, and your body trys to hang on to everything that it can, so in turn, it slows your weight loss. And by not eating enough, I mean when people cut their calories to under 1,000 a day, or keep their fat grams severly low, ect...

SunnyD57 - that is a bummer that you couldn't get weighed or measured today. Can't wait to hear your results when you do get weighed/measured. :) Sounds like you have really been working hard! Is your shoulder feeling better? I sure hope so!

Well - I have to get going. I will try to post again when I get some more free time. I hope everyone has a great St. Patty's day tomorrow!
