Westvirginiagirl, I want to wish you luck on Curves. I believe that as long as you stick to the exercise program, no matter which one, you will see results. Exercising also motivates one to eat healthier. I find that when I don't exercise, I am more likely to make bad choices in food. When I exercise, I eat better thinking that I don't want the exercise to be negated by bad eating. Good luck and stick with it. It may take a few weeks to see results, but I guarantee you will see them. Also, when you exercise, the weight you lose is more likely to stay off than when you just diet. Hope to hear good news from you in a few weeks. Nikki
