Someone else asked me about Curves in another post. Thought that this might be a good way to see how other people feel about it. I don't know if they are all the same or not, but I love the Curves I am at. I like it for a number of reasons. It is not a fashion show - you can wear track pants and a big frumpy t-shirt and no one cares. The atmosphere is positive, everyone wants you to succeed. The support is awesome, at our curves, you can get weighed and measured every month and they compare it to last and then if you have lost any inches from anywhere, they give you a piece of ribbon equal to the length of inches you have lost and you get to put it on your star on the "wall of losers". It is sooo gratifying to go and see your star while you are working out with a big long ribbon hanging off of it, dangling in the breeze from the ventilation system.
The machines are hydraulic and so the harder you work, the harder they work. So from very old (in the 90's) to young, Curves works. In two months with Curves and the Low carb diet thing, 12 lbs and 10 1/2 inches. I am going to try the metabo ultramax as soon as it arrives to see if I can bump up the weight loss number. Curves is good for me, it is the "thing" that works for me. Now I will just add other fad things to try and make it better. Go in for the free one week trial - take a friend though if you can, makes it easier.
Curves - where are my girls?
