just never started back up again.  I was thinking when the kids start school, I might start going right after the leavein the morning.  I don't start work until 10 a.m.  I loved it the first time around.  I get bored really easy and so constantly switching machines and moving around really appealed to me.  I lost about 20 pounds the first time, but then I gained it all back and then some after my surgery cause I had to be off my feet for about two months and then of course my VERY sedentary job as an MT.

We should get buddy system going on here where we encourage each other and stuff.  Cause I don't have any real life buddies to go with me.  When you work at home, you're sort of isolated.  Plus I just moved to a new place and only know my sister and she is a full-time RN with a very crazy schedule and loooooong hours.

I need to get into an exercise program and have failed to do so on my own.  Now I realize I need the support and structure of a gym.  I have an appointment to "tour" Curves on Sat. morning.

Anyone have any experience with this place?  I would appreciate feedback.  TIA.

If you are just getting started on an exercise program, this is an excellent choice.  It is a great way to spend some time with other new people, laugh, and get some exercise in.  Truth be said, I hate to exercise, but I actually look forward to my time at Curves. 

I've been a member of Curves for almost 2 years.  I love love love it!  I live in a small town where there' s not much going on, and I've met a lot of people there.  It's my socialization time!  I also have lost over 30 pounds and am in the best shape of my life (I'll be 47 next week).  You get out of it what you put into it.  If you don't watch what you eat and go to Curves AT LEAST 3 times a week EVERY week, you won't be successful.  It takes discipline, just like anything else.

The support and the women-only atmosphere make it a great alternative to a regular gym. 

Have fun!

I have found that if I get up in the morning and go to Curves on a regular basis after I send my kids off to school, I have the chance to interact with people, get some exercise, and even make some good girlfriends because you are all there at the same time every day or every other day.  You feel good by the time you get home, take a shower and sit down to work.  I've also found church to be a huge outlet as well as getting involved with community events (i.e. volunteering) to be very rewarding.  You have to make your life, it does not come to you.  Hang in there, this is a great job to have, don't give it up for that reason, you can really make the isolation a non-issue.  Best Wishes

Loved your posts.  The other gal missed my point.  I committed myself to 25 hours a week.  Was not asked to commit to a certain number of lines, but I am continously asked for more.  I do it in the name of "teamwork," which is stressed at this company.  I understand their position, but it seems we are always behind.  Their fear is that if more people were hired then there's a chance we may run out of work for everyone.  Like I said before, I just need a little more flexibility.  I don't think as an IC that is too much to expect.  I work a regular schedule (9 to 5:30 with 1 to 1-1/2-hour lunch) and rarely take any time off except my two days now (and I was continously asked to work one of those).    Getting a vacation is another story.  It's time to move on.

All about Fantasia and what she's doing, TV, songs, etc. 

For those who think Clay was a better more soulful singer than Ruben....those people who think that..... evidently have not one soulful fiber in their body....

Gaydar is what Clay Aiken is all about......to each his/her own....

Except in February.  Dang it's cold in February.

Seriously though, I don't lock my doors and if I need to find the car keys, they're in the ignition.

The way I see it, if them fools need thaht cah baahd enuff, might's well let 'em go ahead and have it. 

Please note there have been so many people apply in the last 24 hours ..its been a bit too much..please do not email me about this...thank you. mtgal847

Don't know if you've heard the world news about the remarkable stem cell therapy that is being done in Russia and London where people will start flocking for treatment who have no hope to walk again.

Also something called Planet Hospital where there are offices being set up where people can get insurance and go to other countries for surgeries and take a short vacation while they are there, they are doing this for dentistry also.

For people who cannot afford insurance this is a great deal.  I know my hairdresser went out of the country to have a bridge done and she said they did a great job.
