Curves Complete - Anyone doing it?



Recommended Posts

I hit a plateau back in October and have been right around 190lbs ever since. Ugh. I joined Curves and signed up for the Curves Complete plan. It's $12 a month more and it includes a diet plan and weekly coaching, weighing and measuring. It's only been 5 days and I am liking it so far. I can't follow the diet plan exactly due to the LapBand, but as long as I stick to similar foods then it seems to be working. I feel great working out 4 days a week there and am doing cardio at home the other 3 days. I really want to get past this hump.

My new goals for the new year are...

  • Monthly, to lose at least 5lbs.
  • To have lost a total 100lbs by my 18 month bandiversary on 04/07/13. (15lbs to go)
  • To get to by goal weight and a size 8 by my 2 year bandiversary on 10/7/13! (41lbs to go)

One thing I realized too late last year, was my expectations were a little high. I did so good in the first year, which is when you will obviously lose the most, that I didn't consider my body would eventually get accustomed to the change and start losing slower. I have adjusted my diet, exercise and goals and am hoping for something great this year!

Have any of you joined Curves or the Curves Complete program? Let me know how you are doing and if you have any suggestions.

Thanks!

I would not want to call it a diet... the workout plan is great, but we don't diet, we change our lifestyles.

Absolutely! When I say diet I don't mean the temporary kind that we have all learned to hate until our respective surgeries. I mean the "diet" that we all live with everyday and should be natural. (example: food or feed habitually eaten or provided: The rabbits were fed a diet of carrots and lettuce.)

Sounds like a great idea!

It's good to see you fighting back against a plateau with good old fashioned elbow grease and a good attitude! Hope you do well. You have inspired me to do something similar so thank u so much!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
