Hi there!! As I was reading your post... My daughter who is a employee/trainer at my Curves called me. She said that that you should not be hurting while you are useing the machines.. and your body could hurt after you leave but more than likely you are over doing. If you are concerned share with your Trainer at Curves and they can make suggestions for you. I do not go to Curves as often as I should.. but I was weighed and measured on Tuesday .. I have lost 61 inches and 74 pounds since June 5. My thighs are 1 inch smaller than hers and she is 5"7' and 30 pounds lighter than I am.. and works out there 4 to 5 times a week. I am 5'2" and old as dirt. So it does work. Good luck to you.. As many others have said.. Do it and you may eventually need to move on to a more intense work out like at a gym. I think you are great. And I do enjoy reading your posts. Alice
