With all the New Years Resoultions about losing weight and the thread about Weight Watchers I thought I'd revive this thread about Curves international.

Unfortunately for me a couple months after joining Curves last year I stopped going. Life got in the way with family members being sick, then I lost my workout buddy, and I just never went back. Those 8 pounds I lost came back and brought 20 more of its friends with it. That has been very frustrating this past year to gain 30 pounds.

In November one of my friends ended up in the hospital and it scared her enough she wants to get in better health. She said she was going to join Curves near her. Since I was still paying for the Curves membership I told her I was going to transfer my membership to her location and I'd join her in the workout. So far we've gone for two weeks and even have another friend who is joining us there afterwork. It's definitely much better having friends there working out with you.

My mom did Curves for quite a few months and really gained a lot of mobility back. It was great to see her walking and not having to rely so much on the wheel chair. Well she stopped going during the summer and has lost all the gains she made and can barely move again. I'm pushing her to come join us when we workout now. The doctor has told her the best thing for her arthritis is to start exercising. Mom has finally said she's going to join us this week.

Pray for me that I'll stick with going to Curves this time.
