Curves: Permanent Results Without Permanent Dieting

very useful for anyone wanting to lose those extra pounds. I lost 8 pounds in the first two weeks. Will use the rest of the meals to lose more. Highly recommend this book.

I have wasted countless $$$ on programs without doing complete research...I decided to buy the book because a co-worker let me look throught her Curves Magazine, I took the test and was shocked to find that I was calorie sensitive. There was an ad about the book. I promptly went on line to get it .....The book, I love, it answered all of my questions about food, meal planner, exercise ,ect, and the curves program ..to the point I plan to join for my up coming birthday, to get that extra push needed to exercise.

I gained a lot of weight taking prescribed steroids. None of the diets worked, though I stuck to them hard and fast. I joined Curves in July, 2003, working out 2-3 times a week, and have lost 22 inches!!! The pounds are just starting to come off now,as well. When you have a lot to lose, it takes time, patience, and hard work. CURVES IS NOT A SCAM! It's a well thought out, well controlled weight loss/strength gaining program. If you are weight loss resistant, as I am, do yourself a favor and check out your local Curves. I thank God that I did. By the way, my best friend, in a similar situation, lost 100 pounds in 9 months by going to Curves.

wow...i have done the curves exercise program for a few months now and have been stunned with the results, inches and pounds falling away all because of the missing link....strength training...now i have a home companion to help me make sure my eating habits don't sabotage my exercise program...i can feel the weight loss in the way my clothes fit and i am feeling better inside now, too....thank you gary heavin for providing me (and all of us women who hate to exercise) a way to stay healthy and fit the rest of our lives without having to live in the gym....

Thank you CURVES and Gary Heavin for showing us a " fool proof" way to get off the cycle of perpetual dieting! Who wants to be on a DIET the rest of their life? Not me ! With traditional diet programs we have been taught to just tough it out through those plateaus or lower our caloric intake. The question is what happens each time we do that? The answer is lower our metabolism and therefore require fewer calories to maintain our weightloss or to be able to continue to lose, really sabotaging our success in the future! WOW ! Everytime I did that I lowered my metabolism because I cosumed less and my body just adjusted! So when I tried to go back to eating somewhat normally I just gained all the weight back and even MORE! I can definitely get used to just dieting 2 to 3 days a month innstead of for the rest of my life. Thanks also for helping us to understand the importance of strength training so that I don't lose any more muscle by dieting alone. I don't want to lose 40% of my weightloss im muscle again sabotaging myself for success down the road. What a terrific breakthrough in sensible weightloss and health! Cheers to the CURVES people for bringing this to all of us gals who really need this kind of information.
