We still have the old ones. I heard a rumor that the clubs had 2 years to fully convert.

mrsmandi-- at our center, they installed a flat screen that plays a jillian video as you work out. It shows extra muscle toning/cardio things you can do when you are on the recovery boards. It shows a lower impact version of the same moves too.

I've done the JM workouts the past 2 days now and I am sore!! Wow! It really works you! And by my HRM I'm burning from 35 (I slacked most of it) to 50 extra calories per workout! Love that! I like the extra push and I hope it sticks around.

That sounds good!

Thanks!

Congrats on the loss!! That's quite an accomplishment! I will send you a friend request!

That is awesome! WTG!

Are there any Curves Complete members with open diaries that would like to be friends? I have lost a lot, but slowly gaining it back. I need a peek at your diaries for meal inspiration. I'm starting to get bored with dieting which translates into me eating a lot of junk food.

My Curves smart tag has been workign at my center tha past month and I'm still no where near what my Polar HRM says. Last night I was 229 burned by my FT4 and 478 accoring to my curves tag. That being said, I did lose 52 lbs in 9 months basing my calorie intake solely on what my Curves tag told me I had burned. Correct or…

My curves smart tag was also telling me that I had burned anywhere from 278 (my lowest) to 520 (my highest). I normally averaged around 350. I got a HRM (polar F4) for Christmas and I burn no where around that much. I'm somwhere around 199-229. That's waaaaaay off from 350. My Curves' club computer broke over the holidays…

Our Curves is open all day-7-7 on MTWTh, and 7-6 on Friday. 9-12 on Saturday. During the summer, they closed at 6 everyday. Which sucked for the working people like me who get off of work at 5. I wish our Curves would close for a few hours during the day, because there's a new rumor going around that they are going back to…

I have been doing Smart for over a year now. I believe my caloric burn is fairly accurate. But I know it can be off. I wore my HRM to 3 work outs and the HRM was within 50 calories those times. But, to be fair, I was counting the whole work out--recovery pads and all. I think the reading Smart gives you is supposed to be…

Well, the bi/tri machine finally went kaput. You can still *use* it, but you cant stick in your curves smart card. Which means, when you do your curves smart cycle, you have to do 2 extra machines because you are skipping the bi/tri. It is also giving very inaccurate readings because of this. Instead of being increased on…

I did my workout yesterday (442 burned) and I will go again today after I get off of work! No Curves this wednesday. I'll be trick or treating with my 6 year old.

Hello! I lost about 50 lbs doing Curves. I will say that I didn't lose the weight doing Curves alone. I had to add in calorie counting to get there. I joined Curves in Sept 2010. By March/April 2011, I was weighing way over what I had started at. So, I joined MFP to track my calories. After that it was easy. I lost slowly…

Yeah, the manager saw the leg press machine sensor break of and said 'oh well'. I've complained to her and the other lady that works mainly in the evenings about the bi/tri machine several times. The lady who works in the evenings is the owner's mother. The owner is very rarely in there. She has another full time job and 5…

I know my calorie count on the curves smart is way off. Last Wednesday, it said I had burned 833 calories. WHUT? Nope. I'm usuallyin the 350-450 range. Only twice have I been over 500. No way I could get to 800. My friend Tunisha also said that last week her count was way off. She said hers was in the 1700s. Help!!!! We…

My plan this week is to go to Curves tonight, wednesday night, Friday night and Saturday morning. My daughter has a make up gymnastics class on Thursday.

My fitness routine includes Curves (fitness center) 3-4 times a week. And that's inside so.... I also have an elliptical at home.

< 38 and feeling great! LOL!

Aukeila-I was stuck in the 300's FOREVER. Well, it felt like forever. After, maybe 6-8 months with CS or so, I realized I was stronger and getting more reps in the machines. I finally hit 419 one day. My highest was 526. I still rarely get over 400. Maybe once a week or so. I average around 350-380. I just want to say,…
-
I don't necessarily think you NEED to add anything else to your Curves workouts. If you are going 3-4 times a week, that should be enough. But, I think it's reccommended that everyone gets at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, so by that standard, I added my elliptical to my non-Curves days. Plus, I love to eat! And I was…

I burned 526 Calories with Curves Smart last night! YAY! It's the highest burn I've ever got at Curves! Whoop Whoop!
-
I drink plain, room temperature, purified water. I can't do tap or spring. Has to be purified. :)

I drink a cup of Maxwell House House Blend every morning from my Tassimo. I add 2TBS of caramel creamer. Yum.

Progress!!!

I had a picnic style lunch with my 6 year old today. I had a PB&J, (1tbs Peter Pan PB & 1tbs Welchs grape jelly on an Arnolds white sandwich round), 1/2 cup of strawberry halves and 25 pretzel sticks. 329 calories

I forgot to add that I've been at my Curves since Sept 2010. Also, at my Curves, the manager switches out machines every so often and we have 'wacky Wednesdays' were we go the opposite direction around the circuit. If you do find that you are bored, ask your manager to try it. It really keeps your mind working.
