Hey Ladies

Yes, I am quite impressed with CURVES, I havent felt this great in a long time, and I dont feel like I look like I just had a baby anymore YAY!!

Kandace- hehehe, 131.8 today! Yeah Baby!...I am loving it! I keep playing fashion show with all my clothes because I am so happy they fit, I finally can't wait for SUMMER to get here...Wedding plans are enough to stress anyone out, I totally understand having cravings, but glad to hear all is going well with it!

Courtney- I am one of those "kill myself in the gym" type of people, well I was until I went to curves for "bring a friend night" and i joined myself 2 days later and I am in love with the way my body has toned and shrunk, I have better results in 2 months of curves than 2 months of killing myself in the gym
you will LOVE it.

Keep up the good work everyone!!

I was definatly one of those kill myself at the gym type. Everyone knew if i was working out i would literally be there for hours. I would get off at work at around 10 or a 11 depending how late they would make me stay....then i would go to the gym and be there til 1 or 2. It was horrible...it was wretched. Plus i didnt lose any weight... I dunno. I ended up giving up with it. Plus i felt like i was the only one not wearing a sports bra and tight shorts running 10mph...So yeah. I know they just built a curves building thats better than the old one thats .81 miles away from my house...and well i went on ebay and bid on the two weeks for free..and AHAHA!!! i won...but now i have 4 passes...but can only use one. Does anyone know anyone that needs one..ill mail it to you. =) anyway. As soon as i get them, im going to march my chubby little booty down there and get to it. =) You guys have gotten me SUPER excited. I want to look good in my bathing suit and if i lost 20 pounds by may or june...ill be completely satisfied...well...not completely until i lose about 45-50 pounds..but you know what i mean. Anyway! i wish more people updated in here like they use too....thatd be nice. =)

Waaahooooo for me! I weighed at Curves today to make sure my scales were right and I am down 10 1/2 pounds since Feb. 3rd. I love it and my fat mama jeans hang on me. I can see it in my face now and that makes me happier.
It is amazing how busy we all have been. Jason (DH) has been home with me more so it is harder to get on the comoputer that often. He wants to know what I am doing I guess.
Congrats to all the losers and welcome to the newbies! I will try an post later but have calls to make to Drs. and have to shower before my in laws arrive for the week. Lord give me strength!

thats really good! 10.5 pounds since the beginning of feb! im jealous..lol. Im waiting for my coupons to come in...wooooohooo! I went and got the number off of the door tonight when i drove by so i could call to see if they were having any sort of specials or anything. Then i looked inside and i counted 13 or 14 machines which is good i guess. I read on here someones curves only had 8 or something...so thats cool. Im really excited about it. I cant wait. My curves that im going to join opens at 8 and closes at 8..mwf they open at 5:30 or something...there was a note on the door..but im not sure what it was saying. Something about between 8-10 they have classes...no first times or something. But anyway. I hope everyone starts updating again. i get kinda bored posting to myself..lol...its almost as bad as talking to myself.
There was a lady on here that posted on the other curves thread that debbie wrote...and she was like moreless to sum it up..she didnt lose any weight doing curves and neither did her friends. It was more social...and she doesnt give any of the credit of the weight lost that she lost because of curves. You need HEAVY exercise and a moderate diet. Hmm. Something sorta discouraging to post to someone who is TRYING to better themselves..by joining a gym..even if it is a 30 minute workout. Oh well.
Im going to try it for myself and hopefully debbie will too. Everyone is different. Negetivity sucks....

Daphne- wow! 10.5 lbs! keep going!

Leanne- you're doing great too!

Court- you need exercise AND diet in order to lose weight... my first month at curves I gained weight (and not muscle either- but lost 17.75 inches) I KNOW the reason. I tricked myself into thinking I was exercising so I could eat whatever I wanted- that doesn't work.... diet and exercise together... (maybe that woman was only exercising?)

I'm stuck in a rut now- I gained with TOM and it's sticking around... I've weighed 174 naked at home for 4 days in a row now- no up or down- just 174... but I kinda like it- I want to stay this way for a while so my honeymoon clothes will fit and look good, not like they're falling offf and then when we get back I'll go on phase 1 again and start losing more I hope.

Hi Ladies.
Been very busy with school. I have three deadlines to meet before March 23rd. So been very busy. I have been able to fit in my workouts though. I lost four pounds last month at my weigh in and lost 1/4 inch in my bust, waist,hips and 2 inches in my thighs. So I guess the ab lounger they have at my Curves is working. LOL I sure do feel my abs afterwards for a while.
I will promise not to be missing for so long the next time. Have to go get ready for bed. Will post more later. Welcome to the newbies glad to have you!
More later,
Kerry

Hi all,

I'm new here and I just joined curves last week and I really love it. I am currently doing weight watchers and I have lost 34 lbs in 16 weeks. I think exercising at Curves and following weight watchers..I hope the 2 combined will help me get to my goal and hopefuly firmer.

Oh life for me is finally back to normal! Jason is back in Seattle working, the kids are back in school and my Monster In Laws are back home in Cali! I was able to go to Curves today and not rush. I didn't get to go last week from Wednesday on. I can feel it in my legs today. I was a piggie at the beach so now I need to watch it again. Oh on more hour to have the place to myself! I think I might of been a hermit in my other life.
I should be posting daily now that things are back to normal again. Well I will see being as hubby just told me he is seeing the Dr. about surgery on his finger to fix it locking up. That will be a nice bill with no insurance to pay it.
OK I will bbl tonight hope to see some postings!
Daphne

Ive joined weight watchers and quit it so many times, because my friend quit and i dont want to go by myself. Maybe i should just be a big girl (not chubby) and start going again. Horrible me. I got my coupons to try curves for 2 weeks free! Im excited. The only thing that sucks though is i just got over the flu and now i have a sinus infection. Im definatly going to wait for it to clear up before i start putting strain on my body. My immune system seems to be really low....i hate being sick! Im excited about curves! Im more excited that people are posting to this again=) I dont like typing to myself..lol....or do i? lol. Ladies have a nice week and keep curving! My friend is going to start going with me, so i have a buddy! Makes me not feel like im with tons of strangers..that will hopefully become my friends=) She may even join too, plus shes getting married in may and everyone wants to lose weight b4 they get married! Im her brides made and i vowed to lose 20 pounds before her wedding! 2.5 months..wooooohoooo! Better get to it! Anywho..i gotta go to my night class. Talk to you chickaroos later! =)

Welcome back Daphne, it's always nice to get back to our "normal" lives eh?

Court- I know it is nice having someone to workout with, but truth is, that "someone" can't always be there, so if you are able to workout by yourself as well as with your friends you will have great success. Hope you start feeling better soon too!

Thats that...same old thing for me...AH, we just got lots of SNOW...ew....but I am on a mission to tone this body up...I thought I would have saggy, post-baby skin forever but it seems to be shrinking back to size....really, it has only been 5 months so I think I was initially expecting it to go back right away...seems the skin has other ideas...hahaha

Later Ladies

Oh yea I love having my me time. I am so glad at times I didn't have more kids! We had baseball tryouts today for Robert and it was to damn cold. I do not like the wind here when it is chilly outside. Oh for dinner I had a UNO bar:. I know bad bad Daphne but it was calling me. I have tomake a dish to take to Miss Beth our Pastors wife for lunch tomorrow. It is her Birthday and we are having a potluck at her place for her. SO I have to take what I know I will eat. Most of the ladies are doing Atkins and are picky eaters. Not to step on toes but I am sorry but when I see how much these ladies eat at times I wanna barf. I still have a picture of Miss Beth holding onto 2 hotdogs and having one hang out of her mouth! That was my introduction to Atkins! Gee be nice Daphne. Wow now I am arguing with myself. I am amusing myself can ya all tell?
Daphne

verrrry very true. Thats why i am going to go with her for her 2 free weeks and then continue to go. So then i dont start off not knowing anyone..i just kind of end up like that..lol. Anyway. Im excited! Thanks..i hope i start feeling well also. Have a great rest of the week. Tomorrow is hump day..woohooo

That was me in Dec this is me today!!

Congratulations you look great. I recently joined Curves and I also enjoy it. Wishing you continued sucess. I am also doing weight watchers.
