Does anyone do Curves? I just started earlier this month and haven't seen any results yet, but then again, I've not put on any extra Christmas weight. I've heard people say that it works at first, but then not or they lose inches but not pounds. What about the diet plan? Is it worth the extra money?

I did Curves for about six months. I lost inches but gained muscle especially in my legs. I've recently joined Butterfly Life. They have more variety (yoga, Pilates, Aerobics) than Curves. As well as they stay open later than Curves did in my area.
Good luck!

I went to Curves for a while. I went with a friend so it was easier to go. She broke her leg and I started finding excuses not to go. Now I'm trying Workout Express (same basic principle). I'm not sure I lost weight but did fell better--not so "squishy" all the time. It's hard for me to make myself go but I do feel better when I go.

I'm not sure their diet plan is all that great-- a dietician once told my husband a person can eat whatever they want--it's the portion size Americans have trouble with. For example--a dinner serving of meat is 3-4 oz. That's about the size of a deck of cards. So if you stick to the correct serving sizes, you don't really need a diet plan as such.

Good luck with your workout--don't quit yet. Give yourself at least three months before you reevaluate it.

I wanted to go, but I have a bad problem with paying so much money for something like that....it's just too expensive I think....I seem to do better on my own (by worrying )

I know, I'm not quitting, but I just don't feel it yet. I've been trying harder on the "recovery stations" so maybe that'll help. I get measured this week, so we'll see how it goes. There's a ton of names on the "foot" group and it's always really busy, so it must be working for some!

Curves? I thought I read "Pervs". Darn! Wrong topic! I was so excited too...

Many coworkers of mine joined Curves and liked it. If you are really out of shape it is a good place to start an exercise routine. It is not a hard routine so people who do not like to exercise will stick with it. Also, a very social atmosphere b/c no one is out of breath.
