Hi Everyone...
well, after reading so much about Curves..I've got an appointment tonight to try it for a week.
A bit of my history:
I was a member of an all woman gym which I loved, loved loved. I moved quite a distance away, but worked in the same area. I tried to go during my lunch time, but it wasn't working out, so I quit. I need to be home early because my husband works late and I need to let the dog out, so going after work at this gym wasn't workable.
There is a Curves on my way home about 5 minutes from my house which will enable me to go and be home by 6:30...I'm so excited about this and I hope I love it..
I need to lose about 50 lbs, I've gained about 15 since my wedding in October..AUGHH...
so...here I am...wish me luck.
Hi Gals,
I am back after being gone for a few months. I missed everyone and see that there are some new people on here. Hello to all you new ones! I had to meet four deadlines for school in March and was busy trying to met them all. Which I did but I had to give up my computer time at home in the evenings in order to get them reached. I am still going to Curves 3 times a week and loving it. Well I best be going for now. This was my first day back at school today after being off for a week and a half for spring break. My kids worn me out today. Talk to you all really soon. Take care and keep working hard to reach your goals.

Hey Didi! Welcome to out thread! Not many people update on here anymore. Im mainly writing to myself it feels like! Anyway! Congrats on making the first step! =) I LOVE CURVES! Seriously, ive only been going for officially 2 weeks now and ive lost 6 pounds and no telling how many inches! I think youll really enjoy it, especially if youve been to a womens gym before. It was the first time id ever tried anything like it. Curves isnt like any other so called "gym" ive been too. Its different, its supportive, and very inspirational. There are always ladies that are in the same boat that youre in. I think once youre week is up youre going to want to join=) At least I did! Keep me updated, i check this site everyday=) Hey Kar! Glad to have you back...havent really seen any of the people that inspired me to join curves on....Its really sad
Seems like this thread isnt going anywhere.....Oh well, im here, and so is DiDi...and you...soooooo its all good fun! =) Keep coming back when you get time! We need to get everyone moving and typing in our curves thread.
Its always great to hear from other members and the progress theyve been through
DIDI one last thing, its normal to feel nervous youre first day! Everyone does! goodluck curvin
Hi Court, Hi Kar....
Well, I had my first visit last night and I'm pretty impressed. I wasn't sure if I would get the same type of workout as I did at my other gym, but I was sweatin for sure...
There are 2 things I'm concerned about. One is doing the reps so fast...I'm afraid of injury. I've watched some women who seem to be jerking rather than gliding. I'm going to just do slower reps until I get a better feel for the machines.
The other is that there wasn't a real "trainer" there. Someone who is educated in the field. But I guess I've been around gyms for a while, so I can gather info myself.
The group of women were great as was the owner which made me feel very comfortable going there...
I do think I'll become a member, since I did feel cardio in the workout and it's quick, easy and fun. I'm sure I would do it for at least a year or until I reach my goal.
I hope that more people post so I can hear about their experiences also...
Then I'm anxious to be weighed and measured...Accountability is important to me in weight loss...I think I need someone to actually see me on the scale and record those numbers...
Wish me luck..

I simply love Curves too. I just started my 4th week and it is the 1st time I have ever stuck with working out this consistently!! Wishing the best to all of you!!! I wish this was a board with more action. Maybe we can make it one.
Last night was really packed we only had 3 open spots. They said it was like that all day. We decided the reality of summer was starting to have an effect now that the weather has changed. Have a great day all.
Hi Ladies,
My Curves was really packed last night too. We were trying to figure out why and the reality of summer hit the nail on the head. I have been going to Curves for a year and half now and love it. I have lost about 30 pounds and don't remember how many inches. But I can tell you I just love going to my Curves. I had to miss all of last week because I pulled a muscle in my back and was on painkillers. So I basically slept all last week away. But I sure did miss working out. It makes me feel happier and I don't worry so much about my body image as I did last week. Glad to hear that you are all so happy with your Curves experiences so far. Keep up the good work!
Hope everyone has a great day on Wednesday!
Take care,
Kerry
Well, FINALLY I am at my GOAL WEIGHT...YAY!!! My goal was 125-130, and this morning I was 124.4. That is 38lbs since joining curves, but 66lbs since having my daughter...I am loving how curves fits into my schedule but not sure how it will work out when my hubby goes back to work (he's on paternity leave now)...guess we'll have to see....we have an amazing gym here on base that is about a minute from my house....hmmm!
Happy Hump day to everyone, congrats to everyone who is going to curves and loving it! Good for us all for getting out there and doing it!
Hi Curvesters....
Tonight will be my 2nd time going...I"m excited about it. I'll go again on Saturday and decide whether or not I'll become a member. I'm pretty sure I will. I went on Monday and I'm still a bit sore today so it tells me that the muscles were definately worked.
Leanne...how long did it take for you to lose the weight...? How long have you been going to Curves?
KAR...I hope you're feeling better and are able to continue to go to Curves...
I'd love to be able to lose about 50 lbs...but I'll take what I can get..haha...
Hi Again....
No one is here, but I thought I'd write anyway..
I went to Curves last night, and I must say I really enjoyed it. I was so energized when I got home. I think it's safe to say that I will become a member. It fits right into my schedule and the time goes by so fast. I know that I can do it cuz it's on my way home from work and gets me out by 6:30 in time to let my dog out since my husband doesn't get home til around 8ish. If I go right from work, I'm more apt to stick with it...it's when I go home first that it's hard to go back out, especially to the gym
So the game plan is to go again on Friday, join ...and then start going 3 days week/ MWF. I hope that gets me into doing my treadmill at home on the off days.
Now only if I can start getting the eating in check....one thing at a time..one thing at a time..ahahaa...
As you can see, I've done South Beach and BFL.....

Hi all it been a few days for me as well. Been busy lately. Can you believe this I got on the scale last sunday and yesterday I woke up started my friendly visitor and the scale said I lost pounds since then. Did curves last night I usually do treadmill on off days Tues and Thurs but decided to go last night. Then got home and walked 3 miles with a friend. Oh yeah I have been tanning for a month now and getting ready for summer. I had to throw out all my shorts yesterday they fell off. WOO HOO!!!! Went from a 22/24 to now a 16/18 depending on the style of course.
Total to date lost 34 lbs 30 inches
