Any other Curves for women members here?

I went today and got a cramp in my hip. I think I overdid it.
I'll take a day off and be back on Wed!

I went back to Curves after almost 2 weeks of letting myself rest. Whatever I pulled or strained was feeling better and it was time for my weigh-in. It had been a month and a couple of weeks since my last weigh in. I lost almost 5 lbs! And my body fat % went down a few % points as well. The only place I lost inches was my waist, but I am not complaining.

I spoke with the staff about my muscle pain, and found out that I was going to far from side to side on the Oblique machine (your supposed to twist from the 10 o'clock position to the 2 o'clock, not all the way from side to side).
But I have to say I was hurting a bit when I finished my workout - same place. So I am glad I already have a Doctors appointment next week, maybe she can shead some light.

Thank you guys for your support. I really enjoy the workout I get from Curves and I am so glad I found this thread to encourage me to join and keep going.

Well worked out for the first time yesterday. With the exception of my left calf, I am not in pain. I think I may have stretched wrong on my cool down.

It was fun and the three laps were over more quickly than I anticipated.

Hi everyone, hope everyone is well.

I only managed 1 day last week as I was feeling blah.. went back yesterday, no I am trying to get back in the swing of things. Goal is 3x this week.

Danica: Hope you are ok.

Well Ladies my Husband found out I had thought of joining a gym and informed me there was a curves much closer than I thought. He handed me the phone and I go in tomorrow nigh. My SIL is going as well so I will let everyone know what I think!!

Jiminy102, Let us know what happens and Welcome to Curves!!!

danicaw, I hope you are feeling better! I think that I might just skip that machine all together! It seems like by the time you get on and get going, you can't to very many anyhow. I ususally do situps at home, to target that area.

Cheryl, don't feel bad! It happens, we get busy. My kids are off school all week and I will only get in 2x this week.


Well, I have completed the 3rd week of the 6 week challenge. When I got weighed in on Monday, I lost another 2 lbs.! I am down a total of 11.5 lbs. (in just 3 weeks). The weight loss is slowing, but that is okay. At least it is coming off! Three more weeks, then I will get measured again. I can't wait to see the results!

Keep up all the hard work, ladies!

 

[danicaw]

Mrs Potato Head, you are doing wonderfully. Congratulations.
Its very inspiring.

Please keep us posted.

 

[Mrs. Potato Head]

Thank you, Danicaw! I hope that I do not sound like I am bragging, because I am not! I do have to admit, I do feel a bit proud about my success, but I sure hope I am not coming across in the wrong way!!!

 

[Jiminy102]

Ok Ladies I went to my appointment to check out Curves last night and guess what....................you know it i signed on that dotted line. Signed my life away for the next year and even had my first workout today!! Well I can not go until next week again as I am having a tooth pulled tomorrow. SO I am hoping that on Monday I can go. I really liked it!!

 

[danicaw]

Mrs Potato Head...please do not worry about coming across wrong. You are doing a great job, you should be proud of yourself. It helps motivate the rest of us.

Jiminy...welcome to Curves!

Congrats Jiminy on joining Curves! I'm willing to bet you will really like it! I've lost 4.5 lbs in 3 weeks time! I really think the combination of Curves and WW is working! I feel more motivated than I have in a long time about the weight coming off!

And congrats to Mrs. PH also! It's great to hear everyone's successes! Keep up the good workouts!

 

[CathyCanada]

Mrs PH you are inspiring to the rest of us and congrats on joining Jiminy, I am sure you will love it like we do!
Pooh, great job!!!

Looks like I am going to miss today. I forgot that I promised my sister that I would go with her to try on her wedding dress at the Alterations Place. After that we have Cub Scouts and then Cruise Chat.

Guess that means I will be getting up in the AM to make the first workout tommorrow before everything gets busy. I WILL get my three times in this week. (now if I can just get all that water drank )


Ouch on the tooth Jiminy. I do hope you heal from it quickly. Spending the weekend with pain is not fun.

 

[Pooh93]

Don't brag on me too much CC! I turned around and ate about 3 servings of Valentine M&M's! Now why did I do that! I wish someone had bopped me on the head!I actually felt sick afterwards because I haven't been eating sugar! I still felt "hung over" on Friday, if that makes any sense! I did an extra round at Curves this morning. Hope that helps get rid of it

 

[TnRobin]

I am proud of myself. I did make up my missed work out this AM.

I have decided that Curves at 9:00 AM is not for me. I don't know if it is because I haven't been up and around, but I thought the third circuit was never going to end. Although their music selection rocks. B-52s, Janet Jackson and Duran Duran

 

[CathyCanada]

Don't be hard on yourself Laurie, confession is good for the soul.
And you did any extra workout.

My turn to confess, I ate TWO chocolate bars last night so I went to Curves today which I don't usually do, I always thought Saturdays were busy. Only 6 ladies and 2 were leaving so it was great!!
You guys really do inspire me, I hope you realize that!
With thanks,
Cathy

 

[Mrs. Potato Head]

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! I only got to Curves 2x last week. My kids were off school, and well, no real excuses, I just didn't get there as much as I should have. I went for my weekly weighin today. I lost another 1 1/2 lbs. Can you believe that I was dissapointed! I really wanted to lose at least 2 lbs. I am becoming so obsessed with this! I think I am insane! I should be thrilled with any loss at all! Maybe that one time I missed going kept me from loosing that extra 1/2 lb.! I hope you all have a great week and keep working hard!

 

[CathyCanada]

I've been away for 5 days and am really missing Curves, but I have so much work to catch up on, it will have to wait another day.....sigh.....
And with measurement day next week, I better make it a 4x week!!

Okay. Who was it that said they took the Oblique machine out of thier Curves??? Well guess where they sent it. Yes to Tennessee. And yes they put it next to the Squat machine. I think I am going to hurt in the AM..

Well last week I only went once. With Matthews Cub Scout Advancement Ceremony I was hopping around all week and did not have a moment to myself. I am actually now looking forward to my workouts. It is time for ME. Afterwards I get that endorphine high too.

 

[Mrs. Potato Head]

Hello everyone! Where have we all been?! I did make it to Curves 3x last week, and I am down another 2 lbs. for a grand total of 14.5 lbs. in 5 weeks. Next Monday I will get measured! I can't wait!

TnRobin, our Oblique machine is right next to the squat machine, too! I try to start on the recovery board between them. That way I don't start or end with them in a row.

We need 5 more new referal members and we are getting a new machine. I wonder what it will be !

Ladies, have a wonderful week!
