I did curves for a year about 4 years ago... it was okay. At first it was good exercise but to be honest I got really bored with it and the way it was set up I felt like I was always on display (everything is set up in a circle so you can always see everyone else and they can see you). That being said you may enjoy it. Many people did. I am one of those people if I could have a total gym in my basement I'd be set... I would never set foot in a public gym lol. Unfortunately I can't do that. I have found a local community center that has a full gym and I love it there. It isn't as intimidating as a "normal" gym because of the variety of people who use it.

good luck!

If you have never worked out before and aren't familiar with proper form and function of the various exercises, Curves is a great program, If you have experience in the gym it may not be your thing. The equipment is designed to prevent injury from both doing exercises improperly and lifting too much weight too soon. The staff is knowledgeable and in my experience was very helpful. It is very "friendly" to a less experienced clientele. You won't have to worry about the muscle heads rushing you through your sets or taking forever to complete their 10 million sets like a typical gym. I say try it, you just might like it.

      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.
