Don't worry Cathy I will not overdo it!! If I don't go for a few days when it is my normal time to go I am afraid that I will have a hard time getting back into the swing of things!! I am not going tonight but I am going tomorow but I will take it easy. Promise!!

 

[CathyCanada]

Good, be careful!! (said in my best Mother's voice!)

So far 4 days out of 5, I have made it to Curves. On Sat it is a mad house there. It is only opened for 3 hours and everyone tries to get it in early, but I want to getin there. Still have not budged from the 4 pounds I have gained, but I will listen to CC and say it is muscle...that sounds good to me...yup..sounds awesome. I have 3 more weeks before my first check in....

 

[Jiminy102]

Ok Mamma Cathy!! I am back from Curves and am doing fine!! I did not overdo it and injure myself or anything!

 

[CathyCanada]

Good girl, Jiminy!! You done me proud!
I went today too, 4 times this week, woohoo!!!!!

I still love Curves, but my pace fell off for a couple weeks due to being sick and my DH has taken a new job. (which is a good thing) However, he is working evenings and that messed me up with the kids. However, my wonderful father has come through again and has been letting me drop them off there while I go exercise. Hopefully, this week, I'll get back into the 3-4x a week routine. I really did miss it.

Well, I went to Curves 4 times last week. I was really hoping for 5, but it didn't happen! I did lots of situps, too! I had a great week with my diet, until tonight when I gave in to a chocolate craving. I was afraid that if I didn't I would really blow it! I wasted 19 carbs on a chocolate/almond bar (small one). I'm so glad I did. It was not at all what I was expecting, and did not taste nearly as good as I once would have thought! Now I know the next time I feel like this, it is so not worth it!!! I am really looking forward to Curves in the morning, now!

 

[glo]

Pooh I just started and I love it. Getting back into it is always hard after you have stopped. You can do it, you sure have the right attitude.

Mrs. Potato head good for you. You did better than I did. I got there only 4 times. I tried Sat, but at my curves they are only open 8:30 am to 10 am. Can you believe that? Anyway, I'll know better next time!! Thanks for sharing the candybar stpry as I am having one heck of a chocolate craving right now...

 

[Mrs. Potato Head]

Glo, I only made it 4 times, too! I was hoping for five, but the same Saturday thing happend for me. Ours is opened on Saturday from 8:30 until 11:00. I usually can make it, but I had a commitment at the Spring Fair at my DD's school.

Anyhow, this morning I am so mad at myself for eating that da*n candy bar!
It was so not worth it!!! I'll be leaving for Curves in about 40 minutes. I can't wait to get weighed. I better not have gained from that stupid thing I'll let you know!

Update - I just got back. My weight stayed exactly the same. At least I didn't gain, but for working out as much as I did last week, and sticking to my diet (except for the candy bar), I should have lost something!

 

[CathyCanada]

I went this morning and will try to make 4 times, but this is a short week. We are closed Good Friday and on Saturday too. Usually only open from 8-noon on Sat.

Mrs PH that was a high price to pay for that choc bar, that is my downfall.
Good luck everyone!!
Keep up the good work!

Hi everyone!

My name is Tricia and I usually hang out over at the DVC Board. I have been doing WW for 2.5 months now and have lost about 13 lbs. I need to lose over 50 more, and decided to give Curves a try after lurking over here. I joined yesterday and worked out yesterday and today. I love it! This is my first try at exercising since I was a teenager aside from walking. Unfortunately they are closed due to Passover two days this week and two days next and I am going away for Easter this weekend. I will try to visit another Curves in the area but they only gave me one travel pass. Do I hand that pass in when I go to another Curves, or can I use it a couple of times over the next few days at different locations?

 

[Mrs. Potato Head]

Hi Tricia and WELCOME! You will love curves!

When I traveled, they too, only gave me one pass. They did take it, but told me I could come back anytime. I would ask to keep it, or have them give you another travel pass where you visit, just incase.

Do you have the little membership card, that you swipe when you go? If so, bring that and it will show proof of membership, too!

Good luck and have fun!

 

[TriciaT]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the membership card. I can't believe I haven't exercised in years and I am stressing about missing a few days. It is so much fun it is addictive!

Thanks for the info.

 

[CathyCanada]

Hi Tricia,
Welcome to the Curves Cult!! Er, I mean Group!! Like you, I think it is addicting! I am disappointed that I can only go 3 times this week!

Welcome to our group!

Hi Tricia,
Welcome to our semi obcessive Curves thread!! I staherd 2 weeks ago and absolutely love it. There isn't enough time in the workout to get board as you are constantly moving. I also love that is takes up only about 45 minutes of your time. I am all excited because I walked 11, .36 miles this week, did 375 crunches and went to curves 5 times this week. Our curves did not close for Good Friday or Sat. I get weighed in 2 weeks and can not wait. My weight has not budged, so I am hoping I am loosing inches. If not I will be very disappointed. Have a great Easter everyone!!

 

[CathyCanada]

Glo, I heard the ladies say that no weight loss is not uncommon for the first measurement as the fat turns to muscle, but when you see the inches change and your clothes feel better, you feel better!

My next measurement is Tuesday and our Curves was closed Fri, Sat and of course today.

[Mrs. Potato Head]

There is lots going on at our Curves! They are starting a new 30 day challange, and new 6 week challenge (the diet) and if we get 30 new members from referrels we will get a new glute machine. Since they opened 4 months ago, we have already gotten 2 other new machines. This will not be a 30 minute workout with all this new equipment!

I made it 4x last week, but this week I will be lucky to get there 3x. The kids are off school so I have to go when my DH gets home and that is difficult. I did go last night and will try for 2 more times.

Cathy, did you get measured today? How did you do? I am suppossed to get measured on Friday, but it will probably be on Monday instead.

 

[dt]

Just started reading this thread - so far have only made it up to page 9.

So I may be asking questions that have been asked before.

I gather that each franchise may have a different number of machines.

Does anyone know the minimum number of machines that one
should have access to in order to get a good benefit?

The Curves in my area will not open until the end of the month,
I have an appt set up to check it out, but I'm wondering just how different each
franchise might be.
