I went back to Curves today, and I lost two more pounds! This is INSANE! Is this normal? Four pounds in a week? I know it's all water weight, but I don't care! I'm just happy it's GONE!!!
I'm so bad about weighing in. I don't weigh in every time I'm at Curves, but it's so hard not to! I just weighed myself Monday, and then I weighed myself again today (I just couldn't resist!). It's a habit!
I've been at it only 2 weeks now, and I've lost about 14 pounds. If you count from March 2005, I've lost 19 pounds! I re-joined Curves exactly 10 days ago, and I've been 6 times since then. Let's hope I can keep it up!!
You guys are such an inspiration to me! We can do this together.

Good for you, and you will be surprised how much is NOT water weight when you do your monthly weigh in. My first month I lost like 17 lbs and I thought oh yeah 10 of that is water but really only like 6 of it was. Keep up the good job. Im still holding I have to quit my lil cheats at night and I will be back on the loss track.
Is is o.k. to go to curves everyday or do you need to rest your muscles?
How much have you all lost your first month? I did'nt get real serious until Monday but I cheated and stepped on the scale this morning and it puts me down 3 pounds which I'm happy with but 1) it's not the same scale and 2) I did'nt weigh myself on it before I started. Anyway I'm just curious what the norm is. Is it true that you are going to either lose weight or inches but not alot of both at the same time?
I already feel so much better. I actually have energy for the first time in a long time .
I go M-Sat and I do intense on M W F and on off days very light more cardio. Sat It all depends on my mood. They SUGGEST 3 days, but I like to go all 6 bc of the atmosphere. IT is a mood booster for me.
I have been going since Dec 28th and in the first month I lost like 17 lbs. Today Im down 37 lbs and 36.5 inches. From a size 24 to an 18 and some 16's. Going for 50 more lbs.
I am most impressed by your inches lost. I am now in a 22/24 and would love to be able to get into a 16. It's been SOOO long. You are doing such an awesome job I hope I can do as well as you.
I also love the feeling you get when you walk through the door of Curves. It's so nice to have women who won't judge when you can't do the leg press so well because of all the extra padding around your middle .
Just to let you know I DRASTICAL changed my eating habits. AS of Dec 26 2004 I went LOW carb. I have had NO bread, pasta, soda, potatos, ANY junk at all even my fav chocolate. I drink at the least 120 oz of water a day. So that had a big deal of it all. I even switched to Decafe coffee.
I also attend Curves I really love it. I'm excited to finally have found an exercise program I can stick with. I currently am following weight watchers the core program. I am thinking of switching to the Curves low carb option. What diet are you currently doing?
Mercee,
I don't post very much recently, but I just saw this... I've been a member of curves since June 04 and doing the curves low carb since October 2004- look me up if you have any questions! it's working for me!
my stats:
since June 30, 2004
lost 40 inches
lost 29.75 lbs
lost 18.78 Body fat lbs!
I have tried the low carb and been successful but I don't like it . I am just eating 5 to 6 small meals a day and trying to stay away from flour and such as best I can. Lots of fruits and vegtables and lots and lots of water.
I am an ice cream nut. I swear I'm addicted . Anything sweet was my motto. I was not even eating regular meals. I have changed all that.
I went to curves Mon, Tues, Thurs. and plan to go today. Wed. I did the treadmill but would prefer to go to curves. I just want to mix it up a little so I don't get bored and I can stick to it. I tend to start out strong then peter out. That's why I joined this board to get inspiration from others going through the same thing.
Wow.....this board is really picking up!! yeah!!
I can't wait to get my computer hooked up at home...it's so hard for me to come here in work...
everyone is doing such a great job...KUDOS to all of us..:-)
I'm going to Curves tonight, I missed going on Wednesday and I can't wait to get back there tonight..
Haven't lost any poundage....but I definately feel much better...
My first WI isn't til May 11th....
I hope everyone has a great weekend....see you all on Monday..
I worked out today and did a mini weigh in (just measure body fat, weight, and my waist) because I just could NOT take it anymore! I went all 6x this week and man do I feel good! In just 12 days, I lost 2 inches off of my waist, 6 lbs, and 1% body fat. It keeps me motivated! 3.5 of those lbs were fat. Yeah!!!
Happy Monday. I do like the weeks now instead of weekends I have more of a schedule with kids off to school and hubby at work I can get more workout time in LOL. Sundays kill me since curves is not open. I can't weigh this week Aunt Flo came so I know IM up in a couple pounds. BUT great job to the loss ya'll.
I did bad this weekend. I mean, I exercised on Saturday (took Sunday off) and i went out to eat both weekend nights!! Ahhh! I'll still try to salvage this diet, no matter what. I came too far to just throw it all away. I'll just keep telling myself that, and I'll feel better, right??
Yay!
I re-joined Curves exactly 10 days ago, and I've been 6 times since then. Let's hope I can keep it up!!
