FWIW, I don't use continue statement personally and tend to implement conditional loop with iterator and, optionally, coroutine, e.g.:

local function iterator()
    return coroutine.wrap( function() if -- complex conditions -- then coroutine.yield( --complex result-- ) end end ) 
end

for value in iterator() do
   process( value )
end
