Lol, Dora, they will change the music if you ask, and as for staring, it is the patrons and you get that everywhere. We women have a tendancy to size each other up, especially in the gym. If we find someone who looks worse than we do we have some silent victory (dont tell me no one has ever experienced that lol).
Alrighty, I will clarify. I explained Curves and will post more info shortly. I want to go over there again for a good look as when I went I had my toddler with me.
TOPS (Taking Off Weight Sensibly) is a support group that meets once a week. It is a non-profit club based in the US, which I am trying to open a chapter here. The fees are annually (26$) and that is to pay for the mailing list and reources, which are all available online. The group meetings will be for weigh ins, and part of this program is activities focusing on trying to keep the weight off and encourage people to stay on track. There are activities and such (TOPS has a version of "Survivor" which is interesting). It is a lot of fun and is great support for people such as myself who always struggle to stay on the wagon.
Here is a link to the main TOPS page, it can give you a bit of info... I am going to try and see if there are enough people if we can get a group rate at Curves. If there is no interest in Curves perhaps we will organize a walking group as suggested. In TOPS meetings we can determine which activites we would like to participate in etc.
Meetings can be held just about anywhere; coffee shops, members homes etc.
Any other takers?_____________________________________________________
