Hi Ladies,
Sunny I know what you mean about working out. That is great news about going 30 minutes on your elliptical. I usually try to workout 5 to 6 days a week. I know that the day or days I take off seem to either be awful or just drag on.
Keep up the good work Cezanna! You can do it! I have faith in you.
I have not been able to get to Curves yet this week. Last night I was exhausted after going back to school from a long three day weekend. It didn't help that it was also one of my night's to stay until 6:30 working with the afterschool program. Tonight I had two meetings to go to and couldn't squeeze in any time to do. But I am hoping to go tomorrow night after school. But I did do Lesile Sansone's 4 mile Super Challenge Walk yesterday morning and then this morning Richard Simmons Sweat and Tone. So atleast I have been able to do some form of excerise. I went to my TOPS meeting tonight and lost another 3/4 of a pound. So I was happy with it. Now I only have 82 1/4 more to go. This is the 6th week in a row that I have lost. I contribute it all to going to Curves atleast 3 times a week and putting in a good workout. I hope everyone is staying warm and ready for spring like I am. I can't wait until I can take my kids at school for walks around the buildings and down by the creek. They seem to do better when I get them up and moving around in a little bit of fresh air. Take care. Keep it up ladies you are doing great!

I went mon2/2 for my feb weigh-in.I was 173 lbs from 182lbs,body fat was35% from 38%

Hi everyone:

Still going to curves regularly - missed last Fri since I was in Niagara Falls with some friends, but got in a few long walks instead. Went to curves on Mon then shovelled snow last night for 45 min (it was very heavy snow - could hardly move it) so that was quite a workout in itself. Planning on going to curves tonight as long as the roads are OK to drive. It was very nasty here last night & real icey this a.m.

Everyone sounds like they are doing great with their workouts - so keep up the good work and HI to anyone new.

Bye for now.

Woo hoo! A Curves Board!

I've been a member since September(?). I haven't lost much of anything, but now that I'm getting my eating & water under control, I'm looking forward to that changing. I love Curves - so much fun!

"WELCOME AIMEEJANE!"

Spring is on it's way... good to see you are trying to get back into your workouts

Me too, I signed up with them in September and have not been able to go on a regular basis for one reason or another - been going - just not as I should be. Now I too am getting back "on track" & so will you. Checking in here has help me to hold myself accountable. So, stop in after your workouts, okay.

Love your picture!

Blessings...

Thanks, Sunny! I just realized that pic is almost 3 years old. Yipes! Sad that I don't have one since then that I like as much. (Of course, I was actually doing well at WW at that point. LOL) Dh looks pretty skinny there, too.

Welcome AimeeJane, I just found this board myself, but it's already been a great help. I'm sure you'll love it too!

I went to my second work out today and again, absolutely loved it! The trainer I worked with the first time wasn't there today, but I met two others who are just as wonderful. The one that actually worked with me said that I'm doing great, that I am using all the machines correctly and even asked me if I'd been a dancer or athlete earlier in my life because I moved so well. I never have been either so what a compliment! I was really psyched!

I'm glad to see that you are all doing well on your work outs too, it's nice to have a place I can go for support and to give support where people are doing the same things as me. You guys are great!

Just got back from Workout #36! Now, if I can just get there Friday, it'll be my first time going 3X in a week in about 2 months.



((Oh, these guys on American Idol are TANKING. It's just painful.))

Welcome Aimeejane - I am sure you will find this site very helpful & motivating.

I went to curves Mon & Wed this week & shovelled snow in between. There is more snow on the way, I hear.

I really like curves as well. Staff are great & all the clients seem really nice & easy to get along with. Such a variety of women in one place.

Hope all you "curvees" are doing well. Bye for now.

Good Morning Curver's! I just got back from my workout at Curves... another busy morning there - so good to see. Boy-0-Boy, was it ever hard for me to get going this morning. I felt so very tired, but I promised myself that I would go 3x this week and now I have I wasn't able to get in my elliptical yesterday as I hoped to, but I will tomorrow instead. My hubby has to be gone for a few hours in the morning, so it will be a perfect time to get it in.

I am feeling a little beside myself though and fighting the 'I'm feeling defeated voice' in my head. I am working out faithfully and watching my diet and have put weight on I am hoping that it's just muscle swelling or water weight & I am feeling a bit shaky. You know what?! As I am typing to you something just occurred to me... I bet I know why I am not losing. I bet it's because I am not taking my own advice and "drinking water!" I have been so bad this pas week I get busy and don't want to stop to go potty I am home today after I take my shower & go to the BMV ~ this Sunday is my 47th birthday (if I may be sold bold to say) & so I have to get my drivers license renewed and get stickers for the plates. Then I will be home & will make sure to get in my water... I bet that is the problem We'll soon see...

Hi KAR73, How are you doing today? Do you think you will be able to get to Curves next week? That's really good that you are doing other forms of exercise, variety is great for the body and also for the mind (you won't get bored, that is for sure ). I just hate to see you waste your $$ by not going at all... maybe try to get in at least 1 or 2x next week Hope you are well - you had such a busy week this week.

Hi CEZANNE, Did you make your 3x this week? Maybe you have and I just missed it reading. I hope this note finds you doing well today.

Hi AMIEEJANE, I saw that you have found some other boards to enjoy... this place is great - isn't it! Just don't forget to come back here now and keep us informed on how you are doing, okay. Oh, the girl I liked on American Idol - her name is AMY... she's adorable!

So... did you make it to your 3rd Curves today? You wanted to get in your 3x this week - I am so happy that I have. This will be a goal for me each week - to just get in my 3x.

BANDIT2, So good to see you! Happy to hear that you too are keeping active and went to Curves 2x this week Keep up the great job! Also happy to hear that you are at a great Curves, that has caring people helping you. Some places don't.

Shouts of "Hello's" out there to ESSIE, WRYLY, TINA, MARIE and any lurkers out there... come on in & join us

Hi Everyone,
Welcome Amieejane! Glad that you joined our board. We are a nice bunch of people. I think you will enjoy everyone! I know I have enjoyed meeting everyone.
Sunny I made it to Curves Wednesday night and tonight. I am hoping to go tomorrow morning. It was very busy both night's I was there. I really needed to go tonight. I had a very stressful day at school. My student's were thrown off schedule by our 2 hour delay. So it was a little nerve racking in my classroom today. Plus I had a confernece with my principal over my evaluation. So I had a lot of stress to go burn off. I felt crappy when I walked in and great when I walked out of there.
I had a friend go with me on Wednesday night and she ended up joining. So now I have a workout buddy and she will push me to make the time in my busy schedule to go work out with her. I got a free t-shirt for recommending her. They asked if I wanted a L or XL. I opted for the L, so I would have sometime to work towards getting in it. I think I only need to lose about another 5 to 10 pounds and it will fit perfect.
Well since it has been a long day, I am going to bed. I have another long day tomorrow. Going to workout at Curves and then going shopping with the family. Hopefully to get a new bed for DH and me, a new couch and coffe table. So I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Well ladies I did it! I braved the cold,icy weather this morning and went to Curves. I even set my alarm to go off at 7 A.M. to get up and go. I had a great workout this morning. That makes 3 times for me this week. I came home only to be put in a bad mood by DH. We are not going shopping now. So I got up early for nothing on my day off. I could have slept in another hour or two and then went to Curves. Oh well, I am going to try to shake myself out of my bad mood. Maybe I will do a walking video now. Well I better go. Thanks for letting my rant and rave. I hope to be in a positive mood the next time I post. Have a great Saturday! I hope everyone gets in some form of excerise today.

Hi KAR73, So happy to hear that you got in your 3x this week @ Curves! Yeahhhh! I am sorry to hear that things didn't work out as you planned today. Feel better real soon! That has happened to me too with my hubby, it's okay by me if you want to come here and vent. At least this way you aren't holding on to it - right! It's very unhealthy to hold onto that kind of stress... so vent away

I worked out 5x this week, so I won't be doing anymore till Monday now - I feel like I really do need the rest and to get some much needed water in me. I am such a bad water drinker! And it is so important.

Well, I must be going! Just wanted to let you know how proud of you I am!
Keep up the great work!
God Bless!
