Curves As many of you know, I've been struggling with my weight for a long time. Unlike many of you in the weight loss thread, I needed to lose 120 lbs. In Dec. I went to the doctor and my cholesterol was very high. I decided to "take the bull by the horns" and get healthy again. I go to Curves (which I love!) at least 4 times a week, and even went when I was in Mexico! I'm proud to tell you I have lost 26 lbs. and almost two dress sizes! I am eating non-fat cottage cheese, yogurt, fruit, vegetables, more chicken and fish and a lot less red meat. Every now and then, I will treat myself when we go out. Yesterday, we went out to dinner and I ate what I wanted. The difference is...now I WANT different things and I can't eat a whole plate of food! :D My knees already feel so much better! Now if I could just get rid of this darn heel spur! Its always something in your late forties!!!!!! Look for me in next year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition!!!!! :yelrotflm :cheer: :wink2: |
That is really awesome. :love: I'm really happy that you have been able to make a change in your life, for the better. I hope that things continue to go as smoothly as they have been. Keep it up! |
Wow!!! Way to go girl! I am soooo proud of you!!!!!! That is soo great! 2 dress sizes already! That has got to be an awesome feeling!!!!!!! Keep up the great work! And I hope you reach all your goals!!!!! So proud! |
YAY!!!! good for you!!! My mom started going to curves a few months ago...she loves it!! You can tell shes starting to lose weight too!! |
Good for you!!! I know how hard it is to diet (been doing it on and off for 10 years myself) :eek: |
That's fantastic!!! Keep it up! |
You go girl! Congrats!!!! I just joined weight watchers last week. I have already lost 2 pounds (in one week)! Bring on the warm weather!!!! We will have to start posting before/after pics! |
My goodness, you're doing great! Why don't you come and join the thread for "Lifestyle Changes"? This is for the rest of our life so it's not a diet. It's close to what you're doing now. Come and read the thread and if you're interested, PM Jaspers Mom (Glad) and give her your stats. We'd love to have you. We have others in our group who have a lot of health problems and that's a big reason why many of us are here. Come check us out! |
That is great! I just joined Curves a few weeks ago and have been going 3 times a week. I like it...hopefully I'll be back with the same great news you gave!! Keep up the good work! |
I am proud of you its not easy and look your doing it ...Way to go girlfriend I to have alot of weight to loose and take drugs that make it feel impossible also have restrictive breathing geez ...but I guess thinking you can is half the battle so I am working on the thoughts ..to choose a healthy life one day at a time .. |
Way to go, Deb! You've got half the battle won just by thinking the right way. Then you start doing it the right way. Then, it's really easy! We're proud of you, Deb and we know it isn't easy. Just take one day at a time. Keep up the good work. |
:bravo: :clapsmile :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: Congratulations. Keep up the good work, you'll find it makes a difference in eeverything you do. |
:clapsmile :cheer: :clapsmile :cheer: :clapsmile YOU GO GIRL ! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: That's SO Awesome and congratulations to you on the loss AND working out - that's the hard part I think....getting the motivation to do it is half the battle and YOU HAVE WON ! Good for you....I have a Curves near me and have been wanting to join - I may have to go check them out now after reading this !! I'm so happy for you ! |
You go for it, Villette!!! |

PLus...as someone who hasn't worked out in a long time..maybe it's just what I need....At least I won't pass out trying to keep up LOL !! Reading this thread really got me thinking....and I have one about 1-1/2 minutes from home ! Cool huh ? |
oh...and the good thing about CURVES is that we dont get distracted by the buff guys cause it's only for women. Last time I was in a gym I kind of watched the weight lifters....the only thing that got a workout was my eyeballs... :rolleyes: |
Go there and tell them you are new to a "Lifestyle Changes" and would like to try their gym......ask if they have a FREE MONTH TRIAL PERIOD! |
I'm not sure about everywhere else, but here in Greenville they just had a food drive and if you donated food they waived the initial fee to join. It did end the 11th, but maybe if you go first thing Monday morning and ask about it and offer a few bags of food they may make an exception. It may have just been this area, but I think it was everywhere. Of course, my luck, I joined 4 days before it started and they didn't tell that if I waited I could save some money......oh well.....I'm still glad I did it. |
Bonniesmom...They had that here in Houston and I'm kicking myself that I didn't go in with groceries....but I may run over there in the morning and see if I can get in with that special - so it must have been national....but each is a franchise and maybe they can make exceptions ? and Pat...GOOD IDEA ! I'll try that too :) |

Did you go to Curves yesterday? I think we should do a Curves thread and check in each time we go...I do so much better when I am held accountable for something! I am going with a girl from work, but she has never initiated our going, I have to go to her each time and say "Ready"? Let us know if you join! :cheer: (We need an exercising smilie...I'll just use the cheerleader for now!) |
Good job, it isn't easy, I applaud anyone and everyone for doing it! :thumbup: Keep it up. |

Bonnie - when I sign up I'll contact you and be on your BUTT to go ! |
Wow! 26 pounds is awesome! I've lost 16 so far and it seems to take a long time. But, I'm just concentrating on eating healthier, the weight loss is the bonus! Of course if I had a house on the beach in Mexico that would be my motivation too! Congratulations to you, I know you're working really hard. |
Elizabeth- That is awesome! Good for you! Keep goin', girl! |

If they have a Curves near you, I would strongly suggest you trying it. A girl came in a weighed/measured last week and she had lost 12" in 1 month, I don't remember how much weight. She is also eating healthy. I know my results won't be that good, because I am still eating the same, but I am starting to make better choices and feel much better about myself since I started working out. It only takes 30 minutes. I am going 3 times a week. Let me tell you, if I can be motivated to go, anybody can! Congratulations on the weight loss! |
Congratulations!!!! That is absolutely wonderful. You go girl!!! |
Yay Deb!!! I'm very happy for you, keep it up! You've done great so far, don't slow down now ;) . Keep us updated, We're all very excited for you! |
