I am a happy Curves member, however I disagree with how many calories they say you are burning (500-600 is what I was told). When speaking with several different friends of mine who really love to go the gyms, etc. they said no way could I burn that much in 30 minutes. When I really looked at how many calories were burned in other exercises it didn't seem to jibe either.

This ticked me off because I started a plan that was very precise in calories and I had been factoring this amount of calories back in, and wondered why I was losing so slowly. I have found since I log that I burn 265 calories(which is about how much most people thought I was really burning) I have lost faster.

I emailed from the corporate site about this and they could not give me an answer and told me to go to the owner of my Curves, but the owner of my Curves can only tell me what corporate has told her. That's my opinion anyway. I still LOVE it, but I think I'm being more realistic now and they may estimate a bit high. I would rather err on the side of caution then sabatoge myself by thinking I'm burning twice as much.

Just my opinion of course.
