I'm joining 'Curves' tomorrow! I can't wait! Just wanted to shout it out. I'm really excited. I've been stuck at -13 lbs. since 2 weeks post-op, and even with the little tiny bit of restriction I got after my first fill, I'm still not losing any weight. I know I need to step it up in the exercise department...so here's to hoping that the pounds will begin to come off! I get my 2nd fill March 19th and maybe that will help also. I gotta reset my siggy to reflect my new goals. I'm in a size 22 jeans right now and I need to get into a size 18 jeans before the last weekend in April when my husband and I will be going on another coaster trip with his friends. I do NOT wanna be on the sidelines again for fear of not fitting onto the roller coasters. If I get into those 18's, then I know I won't have any issues. "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..."

I was a member of Curves a few years ago and I liked it. I rejoined at the end of this past summer on student 3-month plan and I still liked it. It's only 30 minutes, it's fun, good music and I liked the machines. It can get somewhat repetitive some times, but I still liked it. It's also great because you work out as easy or as intense as you want.
Good luck Krista!

Good for all of you! I have been at curves now for almost a month and I really like it. It is completely up to you how much work you put into it....one word of caution though; don't be surprised if the scales don't move much at first. You will start to tone quickly but that scale won't move....it is very frustrating. In my experience, I have had more people tell me how different I look in the last few weeks but no scale results yet!

Muscle weighs more than fat ... I am vowing not to get discouraged if the needle on the scale doesn't move down as quickly while I am in the first stages of working out and regaining some muscle mass!

Good luck everyone!

I am starting a Pilates class tomorrow night, that goes on for 4 weeks.

I joined Curves Friday and had my first workout the same day. I've been to Curves 2 more times since then...Saturday and again on Monday. I have not been yet today.

I was 281 when I weighed in at my registration on Friday. I was so happy, cuz I had finally dropped 4 more after gaining those pesky 4 lbs. from returning to solids, and I held in a plateau until then.

Well, I had heard of the scale not budging when beginning Curves, but what about it going UP? I've gained back those stupid 4 lbs. again and I'm up to 285 again. What the heck?!? I've only worked out 3 times @ Curves...could it be building muscle already? My eating habits are still on par and I'm doing really well there, so it can't be that.

Girlie, I wouldn't worry about it too much yet, it could be anything from water weight to gaining a bit of muscle. You're doing fantastic! Are you enjoying Curves? (I mean as much as someone can haha).

Yes, I love Curves! I like it because I know exactly what to do and it's done in 30 minutes. When I work out on my own at a gym, I really struggle with staying on task and working at a proper level to burn anything. Plus, it's a great social time as well. At Curves I get resistance training and cardio rolled into 1 workout, and that is perfect for me.
