Dotdr, You say how much better your shoulder is doing, so you are not one their failures at all. You say you feel better, and that's what counts.
I was having a lot of arthritis pain before I started. Now I'm off my pain medication...and that's only after a month 1/2.

Picaboo, You are so very right. Exercise is very much in fashion. Your also right about the "good advertising". When I find something that works... I advertise it, much in the same way that many people here are advertising how much they love the atkins diet or body for life or many of the other programs that are discused here. Just as the atkins plan isn't for everyone, the same is true of the Curves workout. Strange though, I haven't really found anyone who has actually given curves a chance that feels that there is "nothing much knew here". Thanks for stopping by.
