I have been a member of Curves (exercise facility) since April 7, 2004. This month they (the manager at our Curves) started doing Curves "Members of the Week" Each week 2 members are selected for "Motivating Member of the Week" and "Inspirational Member of the Week".

So I popped in on Tues morning for my workout and saw my name on the board as "Motivating Member of the Week" I was thrilled! It was very nice to be recognized.

Hey, you have to be M-O-T-I-V-A-T-E-D to be at Curves at 6am 3 days (or more) a week!!!! And a year plus and counting to boot!!!

I just thought I would share how that little thing just made my WHOLE week!

Hey Sheila, I go to Curves too. DEFINITELY NOT at 6 a.m. though!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD for you Also awesome is that they should have been doing your measurements all this time too and you'll know exactly how many inches you've lost since starting medifast when we start our MEASUREMENT MONDAY roll call in June!! outstanding!

Thanks girls! There is a group of about 15 ladies who all try to be there at 6am when they open. My Curves is right next to a retirement community and so a lot of the ladies are in their 50's, 60's and one is in her 70's. I'm 33. So I just hope that whenever I'm 60 that I'm movtivated enough to get out there at 6am and work my muscles.

They all inspire me!!!

And Christi, you know what? They did my measurements in April 04 and never again. Guess I better march in there and ask for weigh and measure!!! LOL! That will be a good indicator other than the scale and I'll post my stats at the new MEASUREMENT ROLL CALL!!!!

Jeez, there I go AGAIN!!!!!!!!

[LilMsTexas]

Sheila...........click the box so that your computer automatically signs you in everytime you get in here

And not being measured since April will actually be really good for you. You should see a good change until now and then be right on track!

Oh.....and there is a 90 year old woman that goes to my Curves She is absolutely freaking ADORABLE in her tenny shoes and t-shirt and she dances a little jig in between the machines.........absolutely FANTABULOUS!!! She is my inspiration for sure.

Hope you're having a great week. I'll be back at Curves tomorrow. Had a sick baby at home today.

Ni night everybody! Three more days and a wake up until my plastic surgery doctor's appointment!! (not that i'm counting)

Christi;
Your having plastic surgury? On what? From your pic, you are beautiful!! Oh, and I would so love to meet this 90 year old woman!!

[LilMsTexas]

Thanks TK, But if you could see under my shirt and shorts you would see the tummy hanging down pretty good. That's why and how I conceal it. I am still a good 25 lbs overweight and it's ALL right in my stomach that is hanging down if the rest of my body matched my legs and arms I wouldn't have a problem at all. But I have all this weight right around my middle and sagging. Dieting and exercise alone aren't helping it. Well,it's helping of course, but not getting rid of it. I will continue to lose down to my goal weight, or at least within 10lbs of it, before having any surgery. And at this point it's not approved by insurance. That appt is Monday!!!!

I'll keep you all posted after that. WIsh me luck

[Tk]

Thank you so much for sharing. Good luck to you on your surgury. I know after I loose my 100 lbs, my tummy will sag. I wish it weren't true, but I put myself in this predicament and now I am getting myself out of this prodicament.

Again, good luck and keep us posted!!

CURVES did wonders for my initial 90 pound weight loss. I highly recommend their program. I just could not remember how to work all those weights at a normal gym and ended up injuring myself each time I tried. NOW 6am CRAZY TALK! You go girl! I need to get back to Curves because my arms & thighs NEVER looked so trim & slim as they did then.
Congrats to you!
