My Story
After a little encouragement I would like to tell my story.In December of 2008 I was feeling pretty low about myself 0 energy. While at a Cheerleading function of my daughter one of the items up for aution was a free month at curves. I had driven by the door so many times on my way to work watching people smiling and happy coming and going I thought what have I got to loose its for a good cause and if things dont work out I have lost nothing.
I plucked up the courage to call and arranged an appointment by this time it was three weeks later, yes once again I waited awhile. I was so nervous that night, yet I went in and talked to Janet the owner, she made me feel welcome and at ease. That night I weighed in at 206lbs I was horrified and feeling pretty sorry for myself I might add.
Well that was the beginning for me I gradually got to no everyone and they were so friendly its like working out with family.Both Janet and Sherrie have supported my efforts and made me feel good about myself and the efforts that I have put in, that and the support of my husband and family I actually look forward to my workouts and my monthly weigh ins. I am happy to say that I now weigh just 6 months later 168lbs, loosing 30.25 inches and most important 28.42 body fat I went from the very high range to being .6 away from normal. I have recently recieved a promotion at work and put alot of that also down to confidence and feeling better about myself.
This is my story hopefully someone will read it and realise there is hope out there Curves was there for me and could be for you following the curves weight loss plan and working out has given me a much healthier outlook on life. Thanks for listening.

"Your story sounds so much like me back in 2000 when finally facing that my weight was an issue and I needed to lose not only for my health but for my well being....At the time I was feeling very low about myself and struggling like most do with weight issues---post weight of two babies plus I had always carried extra all my life...but I wanted to look good and feel good about myself.....at that time I joined weight watchers---at 205.5 lbs----lost almost 60 lbs but to gain it all back minus 15 lbs. the yo-yo had begun....lost 25 to gain 20 back---you get the idea...then I joined Curves last September.....weighing in at 183 lbs. I have only lost 4 lbs. but I have lost 10 inches and still losing.....the thing that surprised me was that my body fat was on the high end of being within my range......I needed toning was what Brenda at Curves had told me and toning it was....I flex my arm now and can actually see that I have muscle.....it is pretty amazing....Curves has given me hope and someday I will wear that size 10 again!!!! Your story is encouraging and hopefully some one will ready my story and be encouraged and know that with Curves behind you cheering you on you will have success....who knows some day we might cross paths on a Curves circuit...."
