I hvent been able to do weights for over 9 mths due to health complications after the birth of my buba plus since all the weight loss im def missing my curves! I had one of my relatives the other day openly joke and say that they look like pancakes. Ha ha i was highly offended and embarrassed at the time but now am just using it as motivation to get toned. I shld be all good to start a light weights program now. Also im considering tracking macros to help with muscle gain etc. Any thoughts?
Shucks, it's not fun to get comments on one's body 😒 I didn't do the program for "the butt stuff" lol but if you check the thread I linked to there were monthly updates (and I may do a final one at month-end). That said, yes, I did notice changes both physically and in my ability to move (aka mobility). NOTE: There's a post, in the middle of this thread, that curates much of the relevant Strong Curves discussions by topic. Perhaps some of your other questions about that particular program can be found in one of those conversations.
@RangerRickL you shepherd this group so well! I wouldn't have been able to keep track of who was in, out, or around the Winner's Circle. Especially not during a busy week like you had: congrats on your presentation! And congrats to me too because, yup, I'm expecting to qualify in the February Winner's Circle
Here's my late entry...

Sadly, I used "today" my 4th pass for the month. I did plan on doing a HIIT after putting the kids in bed, but I fell asleep... I was off by the amount of calories that I would have burned, had I worked out. I will not emphasise how dissapointed I am. Wish I'd learn to preplan, but with homeschooling during the busiest time of the year at work I am still not sure what the best plan is. I feel I am behind on almost everything...11

I feel this in my bones. I’m not sure if it’s helpful knowing you are not alone in feeling this way, but hopefully it is because you’ve got some peeps right there with you. ❤️

@dewit Don’t beat yourself up over the pass day – having kids at home all day every day is exhausting. You are doing at least two jobs at once. Look after yourself.4

@LazyBlondeChef I get mixed up and post on the wrong day with some frequency!!
Let's forgive ourselves!3 -
@LazyBlondeChef That post above is supposed to start with "I get mixed up"
The "I' joined up with" Chef" above2 -
@RangerRickL Don't know if you will read this. Even though I have not posted in last couple of days, I have qualified for winners circles. I did my third pass day last night (follows this post) but otherwise have been on track. Have been dealing with identity theft this week which has really knocked me off balance (so have not posted daily) but still managed to stay on track except for last night which I was deliberate in going over calories but only after finishing my exercise for the day. Food and exercise okay but otherwise not my best week.4

@znaoiec
I'll send you a private message and I'm posting here that I have read your message.
I'm sorry about the identity theft. That is a major problem.
I'm quite delighted to add you to the February Winner's Circle List!!!!
Your friend,

@donna25trinity Don't you love when people make comments that are negative about your body? NOT!!
@Madisonmolly Beautiful pic! Can I come to visit you in California? I have NEVER been to Califonia before, and it looks so pretty and warm there!
@Dewitt You are not alone in how you are feeling! I am a nanny, and I hear from the parents of the kiddos all the time that they feel the same way as you do! Hang in there, my friend!
@RangerRickL I too, when busy eat very little! I do not mean to do this, but if I am on a roll getting stuff done for some reason, don't get as hungry, guess because I am busy! You are in style now with the younger generation with your orange and black sneakers! I love it!
