That was my first measurement at Curves.

(I didn't join curves until I got the okay, post-op in May).

I'm now riding my bike the 2 miles there, workout, and then ride the 2 miles home.

I'm loving it!!

I joined Curves 3 weeks ago and so far am loving it! I do realize that probably at the end of my year membership, I'm going to need more of a workout then what Curves offers, but at this time, it is a challenge for me and I'm sweating off the pounds. I was at a plateau when I started exercising at Curves, now I'm out of the plateau and I've lost 8 pds :jaw:in the past two weeks! So it is definitely helping me! The staff is wonderful and I love the atmosphere. And the biggest thing of all??? I can't believe I'm working out in a gym!!! This would have killed me a few months ago, and now I'm workin it!!!! :hurray:Good luck to you all!

ldeere2005 and malissa,

You are both doing great! Malissa, I am astounded that you ride four miles and then work out too. That is amazing.

I would encourage you to try the Curvesmart if it is available at your club. I do it and it is encouraging to me to keep the green light flashing and then see that I have burned between 550 and 600 calories during the workout.

I am convinced that Curves kept me from being 400lbs instead of nearly 300 lbs when I had my surgery. It also kept me flexible enough to walk instead of having to resort to a wheelchair before I had my surgery.

Keep up the good work ladies. "Change Stations Now"

I joined Curves in January and go 3-5 days a week and LOVE it! I'm still sweating and still fighting my way through plateaus, but I'm seeing muscle definition and have had to buy new clothes on a regular basis... so I'm thrilled. PLUS, like a previous poster said, I'm working out! That's the best part!!

Have any of you tried the 3phase eating program they offer? I've thought about trying that to break through the plateau....

      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.
