I Finally Moved my Butt!!! :0)

Well last nite without planning or thinking about it , I stopped in my local curves gym. wouldnt listen to the speech just signed the papers and gave them my money. Today after work I am heading straight there!!! Not even gonna go home. I gotta do something since I can give up sweets ...the more I try the harder it is (someone out there has to understand that) I figure even is I dont lose it cant hurt right??? Wish me luck Diana RNY 9/17/03 360/205/aiming for 180

You might be surprised how much it helps. I was a devoted exercise person after wls, constantly changing the type exercise, etc. At 20 months out from surgery and below my surgeons goal I joined Curves. I loved the workout and enjoyed going daily. I was pleasantly shocked at the end of the 1st month to find I'd lost 8", no weight but the inches make the clothes fit better. I could feel the difference in the way my clothes fit. Unfortunately after two months at Curves my left knee was giving me so much trouble I had to go to the Orthopedic doctor. I'd go into Curves walking fine, but leave limping badly. The doctor said I needed total knee replacement (not a total surprise to me) on both knees. He did not recommend I continue to use the resistance equipment considering the knee problems. It seems every time I find an exercise I really enjoy something happens to bring it to a stop. I still do aerobics and walking, but they aren't as much fun. Hope you enjoy your new exercise.

I think that's great! I hope you enjoy it! Good Luck! Tracy B 328/150 5'9"

Diana, I joined Curves shortly after my surgery and loved it. I did cancel my membership after my 1 year due to other home responsibilities that didn't allow me the time to go as I needed to. My husband works out of town so I've having to deal with the boys by myself. I'm sure you've gone already this afternoon, stick with it, you will see a difference. Dana

Hi Diana, Please let us know if you lose any weight after joining curves. I want to join but money is tight and i'm a single parent so I can't afford to risk the money and not lose weight not to mention I'm from a small town and curves is not very close. If I knew it would help me lose weight though I would join. I am at 202 down from 347 and my friends tell me I will hit a lot of plateaus but the weight is bearly moving now. Like you I have to try something and there is no gym close enough so please keep us informed of your progress thanks.

Diana ... you go girl!! sometimes it just take us a while, eh? Karyn
