  • When I started this I was on an 800 calorie a day plan per doctors orders... I started at 343 lbs. and by the time the dr said I could increase my calories if I wanted to, it was 4 months later and I had gotten down to 268 lbs. - its been 10 months now and I am only at 232 lbs right now. But I increased my calories to 1200…

I needed to be reminded that things may be difficult for me right now, but unfortunately, there is always someone else who is going through worse, so we all need to remember that each day a blessing and be thankful that we are still here and…

  • OMG!! How true that is, I guess I never really thought about it that way. Moving better and breathing better now by carrying around less weight daily but the fact that for so many years I did carry that extra weight daily and somehow got through... Wow, thank you for that little something to think about... I know I…

  • I have taken it and am still taking it every once in a while to help me curb my appetite. I have always had a big appetite and could eat a lot, even when I was thinner... That is part of my problem. My stomach growls for food even when I shouldn't really be hungry. I also have High Blood Pressure so when taking this pill…

  • Please don't feel like a fool, I too used to be terrified of the scale and the number glaring back at me, I also feel that had I been weighing myself all along my weight would not have spiraled out of control like it did, but I now weigh myself everyday... Not so much to dwell on the number on the scale but to help me keep…

  • There is a Sign Up Fee - I was lucky that my medical insurance actually had a program where they covered the sign up fee... I signed up almost three years ago and I am locked in at the price I signed up at for as long as I am a member. If I ever leave and want to rejoin I would have to pay the sign up fee again and the…

  • I think each Curves location is different regarding cost... They are franchises so I do not know if the cost is regulated throughout...I don't think so because we have several in my area and when I was looking to join a couple of years ago two of the closet one to me were different prices. I have been a Member for almost…

  • Don't give up!!!! We all have weeks where we follow the calories and exercise like crazy and it still shows either a gain or no loss or gain for that week. If you have been working out with weights you might be turning fat into muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. Don't let it discourage you and what ever you do, DO NOT…

  • Multiple goal weights are a good thing I think. It helps you to get where you ultimately want to be but in stages. That way you feel like you have accomplished something and can feel proud of what you are doing, then it's time to start on the next one. You need to be realistic with your main goals but I see absolutely…
