Curves?



Recommended Posts

I joined curves last week and have been 3 times this week alread and I have lost 2 pounds I was at a complete stand still and now I am so energized to go and to leave curves. I found that when I feel like giving up on a machine or just want to leave I just say to myself "self you are here to burn off fat so fat be gone" and I find that I work harder and faster. Today was not a day I was planning on going to curves but I was sitting home looking at my laundry and said do I really want to do that and my answer was nope I am going to curves and I was so proud of myself for going in today.

Congrat to everone who is having a great week.

I found that when I feel like giving up on a machine or just want to leave I just say to myself "self you are here to burn off fat so fat be gone" and I find that I work harder and faster.

If I get overwhelmed by a machine or an entire trip to Cruves I tell myself:

"You can do ANYTHING for 30 seconds/30 minutes" - depending if I am tired of the machine or the entire workout.

I went for my first workout today. I really like the gym and the people there. Only one "twiggy" and I didn't get the feeling that she was judging. I was also impressed with out worn out I felt at the end. I underestimated the power of a 30 minute workout. I was extremely happy they had a fan by the cool-down streching area. That felt so good.

The down side is now I have a horrible headache. :sick

edit:I almost forgot. Losin' It, I wanted to tell you that I stole your line when I only had one more machine to go. That got me through, thanks!:clap2:

THIS PLUS SIZE WOMAN WORKS FOR CURVES! LOL!

I started working out at Curves last October, which was just enough to get my metabolism finally moving and lose a few pounds before surgery. (Prior to that, I couldn't lose for anything and was very discouraged!) The staff was great, very supposrtive.

I then needed a job. So when they posted a sign for help I mustered up the courage to apply, saying, "I know I'm not exactly the poster girl for Curves, but...." I laughed myself silly when they hired me in December! (I weighed in at 340+ pounds!) I started working a few weeks before banding in January and the combination of exercise with the banding has been just what I needed...Not to mention the encouragement of all the members! I highly reccomend it for anyone who may be a bit intimidated about exercise, or worried because of their size. We have women of ALL ages and fitness levels working out and being consistent.

It's been a BIG BLESSING to me. It has also provided lots of laughs along my weight loss journey... every time a nurse, counselor, etc. asks me, "WHat do you do for work?! I break into a huge grin and reply, "I work at Curves!" LOL!!! :clap2:

WOW, great story.

I bet you are a great advertisement for Curves with your great attitude and weight loss success so far.:wacko:

Honestly, I had been so sheepish about my weight loss - that I just didn't have the courage to do something like that. Even when my doctor asked me to get up and speak at his LapBand seminars, I would never do it. I always thought the other audience members would be thinking "Why is that girl up there? She's still overweight.":cry

Now I realize that it's the journey that matters, not just the results. And I should be proud of that.

So should you - congratulations Curves girl!:clap2:

I am also hoping to work at Curves.:clap2: I turned in my application last week. I just want to pick up a couple of days a week to earn some X-mas cash.:wacko: They told me they are just looking for someone a couple of days so hopefully it will work out for me.:wacko:

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
