I did it - I joined Curves

[Tigger7570]

Hi Everyone: Well, I'm at what I hope is the beginning of my journey to lose weight and get in shape. Although, I walk with DH in good weather, I wanted to do something year round so that I could always have an exercies regimen. I'm so excited. I joined last night and I am looking forward to going. Also, yesterday, I started a semi-diet. By that, I mean, I watched what I ate and my future daughter-in-law gave me a copy of her old WW's 123 food list so I'm going to give it a really good try. I'm going to try to see if I can at least find a WW meeting that I can join to at least get the information, I know time wise and schedule I won't be able to attend meetings. I'm still not sure about the on-line joining. I may do that as well, but at least I have something to start with. I'm hoping with the support from you guys, I'm going to do this. I'm excited about starting and will be at the WISH site everyday for inspiration. Thanks for being there so that people like me have a support group. I'm sure I'm going to drive all of you crazy with lots of questions so bear with me. My first one is what's the difference between the 123 program and Winning Points? You guys are awesome!!!

Good for you!! I just finished my 3rd week at Curves and I love it. It's fun and fast, and I feel so great after I do it.

As far as the differences in the 2 WW programs, the point ranges are slightly different. 123 Success (which is what I use) gives you two additional points at the top of each range. So the WP Plan has my range at 20-25, whereas 123 Success has it at 20-27. Also, the WP program limits the amount of fiber grams that you can count for an item to 4. Apparently using a higher amount in the calculation would make the point total come out inaccurately. I also cap my fiber grams at 4 when figuring points.

There may be other small differences (like I think carrots were 0 points in 123 and now have points in WP) but I don't know what they all are. Maybe some other WWers can help!

Congratulations on joining Curves! I hope that you will like it. I have been going since the end of February, but just lately I've been getting up to 3x a week. As a matter of fact, I'm waiting to hear from DH to see what time he's coming home so I can go!

Which Curves do you go to? I belong to the one in Franklin.

Good luck to you!
