Just saying hey

Hi everyone out there. Started my program Jan. 26th, have been keeping track of all my calories and have joined Curves. So far so good, have not weighed in yet on their scale, but have not lost anything on my scale at home. So really hope this works to chat with some new friends out there. Only would like to drop about 15 to 20 pounds, but know its going to be tough. Wish me luck, hitting the workouts 4 times a week, not sure if that is going to be enough. Alittle about me, im 44, have a daughter who turns 21 in April and have a son who will be 3 in April. Live in central Wisconsin and an a huge Packer fan. Any words of wisdom to get those pounds off will be much appreciated.

    I was born and raised in South Bend, IN and I too am a huge Packers fan so living here in DC with a Redskins fan in the house only causes trouble when these two teams meet.

    1. Whatever you do SO NOT try to burn yourself out with exercise and then get turned off by it.

    2. Whatever you do DO NOT eat to the level this program tells you to do with exercise.

    3. Only add a few extra calories to your diet when your body says it's hungry and you have calories left on your plan (including the exercise calories).

    Welcome Aboard!

    Welcome from Steeler Country. I have a friend who does Curves. She lost a pile of weight a couple of years ago and has kept it off. She loves it. I looked into joining the one in my area but then found out that they were about to sell that particular one out. Bummer.
