Joined Curves today

[Mom2Princesses]

Yep, I joined Curves, I officially start tomorrow at 7pm! According to my scale, I have also lost 6 pounds, but I will make it "official" on Wednesday, when my first week on Atkins is up. I feel great, and am going to try a few new recipes, foods this week. I have been eating pretty much the same thing everyday, but that doesn't really bug me too much. I don't want to burn out either, so I better keep some variety to my Diet. I cannot wait to start at Curves!

Congratulations! I joined Curves 2 weeks ago and I just love it! I am feeling the workout in my muscles too!

Woo-hoo, Nancy!

CONGRATULATIONS on joining Curves and that 6 pound loss! That is great!!! Seems like we have alot of CURVES ladies here and they all enjoy their workouts (and the results!) Hope you enjoy that membership and use it often!!!!

Nancy, congratulations on joing Curves! I hope you love it as much as I do. I am still somewhat of a newbie, joining just 5 weeks ago myself. My local Curves is open every day except for Sunday, and I go 6 days per week. I have gotten into a routine that works for me. Mon-Fri I go at 6 a.m., right when they open, and on Sat I go at 7:30 a.m. I like that I get it out of the way first thing in the morning (not that it's a chore by any means!). I find that I have more energy, and although I have not lost much weight (just 2 lbs) or inches (3 inches) the first month, I do see things going in the right direction (down...lol!). The workout is a good one, goes by quickly and I don't get bored. I would encourage you to do the recommended stretches after your workout. I notice that some people skip it, but I have noticied that I am becoming much more flexible by including the stretches. After you work out for a few days, please post how you are liking it!

I am hoping to join Curves soon. There is a new one opening up right down the street from me - but is not open yet.

Congratulations on your 6 pounds gone! And Congratulations on exercising too!

Tonight was my first night and it was fun and tiring! The only thing that hurts is my upper arms, at least tonight. The only bad thing was that when I got home I was STARVING! I have truly not been that hungry since I started atkins a week ago. So, I ate a Steak Um (just one!) and a slice of swiss cheese. Problem is, I was STILL hungry. I made myself keep busy for 15 minutes to see if it would go away, but it didn't! So I had a slice of Muenster, and told myself NO MORE, even if I still felt hungry. I have been busy ever since and I don't feel as hungry anymore (still a little hungry though)

I am going to post a separate thread for suggestions for a good snack.

Tomorrow I am walking in the a.m. (weather permitting), doing my Richard Simmons (gotta do it-addicted--- I hear the music in my head all day!), and hopefully will make it to Curves, if DH gets home in time! Whew!

I just joined DIS and WISH, and was wondering if there were any other CURVE-Y Ladies here

Congrats for signing up - I honestly think it's one of the best things I've ever done for myself.

Unfortunately, with a job change and training, I haven't been able to go the past two weeks. But starting Monday, I am going to be back at it! I'm hoping that reading and posting here will help keep me committed to it. I was feeling so good when I was going 3-4 times/week, as well as following their low/no carb diet plan.

Any other CURVE-Y ladies who are doing the low/no carb thing, and have good recipes? This is the hardest part for me, since I used to be a pasta/rice/bread eater and didn't eat meat, and now I have to eat meat, and no pasta/rice/bread But it's worth it! I have to keep teling myself that

Thanks Everyone for all your words of Encouragement!!!!

I was able to squeeze in another workout tonight. I didn't have any pain in my upper arms tonight. I hope to go tomorrow too, I really want to get used to these machines!

Thanks again all, and keep up all your hard work!
