P.S.
I did get some inches lost while working out at curves just three times a week.

I really was shocked at what a great workout I got the first time. I fully expected it to be just toning but I actually get my heart rate up and a good sweat going the entire time. I also hesitated to get measured after my first month - thought it would be too soon. But I did and could not believe that I already had results! Due to be measured again but I am waiting until next Tues because I only got in one workout while we were away last week and I want to catch up.
Also forgot to mention that at my last measure in my body fat percentage had decreased 4 points - almost right into the "good" range for my age and height. So I am all for it and only think that combining the SBD with the workouts will make it better.
Go for it!! If you want to e-mail and be Curves/SBD "buddies" LMK
I had a loss in fat percent of about 1.2%.
They told me THAT was good - wasn't sure if they were lying!
Are your results typical???
If so, something's wrong with me!
I'm hesitant to ask her what her results have exactly been because I know that they have not been what she was looking for, so I can't say exactly how much has changed for her, but I will say (since she's not around to read this) that there are a lot of people who don't live with her and don't see her every day who think she has actually gained some weight since starting.
Of course, she has not been watching her diet in this time. There's actually been some tension here because I have not joined a gym (can't afford it, so I work out at home), but have lost 20 pounds with SBD since October and she has not seen nearly those results since working out over the summer. She does go to the gym almost every day, but there are times when I want to ask her if she's really serious about it all...today, for instance, she came home from the gym and had pizza and soda for lunch. I don't preach about SBD unless someone asks me what I've been doing, but I offer to cook dinner for everyone whenever I'm home...she gets offended if I make something else for myself if what she's cooking doesn't fit into my plan for the day. Some days I eat it just to keep the peace, but most of the time I just pre-emptively offer to make something we can all enjoy.
Wow, this was longer than I intended, but my main point is that I think Curves works if you pair it with other lifestyle changes, like SBD. Since I'm not a member, I can't say anything about what the workout does for you, but any amount of working out will not help you if you aren't eating right. I made the same mistake a couple of years ago with Bally's. I was working out five days a week and loving it, but lost less than 10 pounds total. I think most people need the combination of the two!
