Joined Curves Gym (so proud)



Recommended Posts

This week I reach the mid-way point - half way to goal at exactly 6 months post surgery. Not as fast as some, but I always knew my insulin issues would slow me down a bit. Still, I'm happy with anything being gone forever.

I made the decision to join Curves Gym. I figured I need to formalise and increase my exercise now to get me through the next half. I was exercising before, but probably not often or hard enough. Curves seems pretty fun, and I was surprised how well I managed to get around the circuit. Certainly no need to be uncomfortable there - no glamour girls in tight pink lycra to be seen (that always turned me off other gyms). Just normal women, in all shapes and sizes. The program is 30 minutes - I am committing to go at least 4 times a week.

Well done. I chose to go swimming Mon-Fri with my hubby, he keeps me motivated. We go first thing in the morning at the pool for 5:30am he wakes me up with a cup of tea to make sure that I get up lol...

Right now its a $30 joining fee (normally $199), and $59 a month. The thing I like about is that there is a staff member there to help you all the time to make sure your technique if right. Even if you are not in the mood, 30 minutes is short enough to suck it up. I'm enjoying it (so far :->)

Congrats! I also joined curves this past week. I needed structure and getting weighed and measured each month is pretty cool. The cost here in Connecticut was $99 registration regularly $199 and then $39 a month..

I was keen on joining curves, but i found out they don't have a creche for my son to go to, otherwise I would have loved to join, it seems like a great place. Hope you guys do well:thumbup:

I joined a gym recently where they also have a pool, I enjoy swimming, and also doing body pump classes:thumbs_up:

I joined curves last year. It was Ok, but I got quickly bored with the circuit - same way all the time and the reverse on Tuesdays. I also realised there wasn't really anywhere to go with it. I love doing weight training and that's just out with curves.

If it works for you, that's fantastic. I hope you get everything out of it you want.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
