My Story
My Amazing Curves Story

When I got married I weighed 135lbs. The weight started coming on when I started having my children. At one time I was up to 212lbs.
I was not happy with my weight. I tried different diets with no real success. In 1977 I started working at a Retirement home and graduated from my H.C.A. in 1989. Over the years and working fulltime my knees and ankles started aching a lot from Arthritis. Some days I could hardly finish my shift, but did manage to work there for 39 years. My walking was limited to only short distances fifteen to twenty minutes. I retired in 2007.
In 2008 at a regular doctors check up the doctor informed me I had high blood pressure, my cholesterol and my sugar were also up and I needed to lose weight and start to exercise.
I realized I had to start looking after myself and do something about my health.
I decided to check out Curves in my town of Hanover, Ontario Canada. I joined Curves in July of 2008 and have had great success. Ive lost a total of 32lbs, 25inches and 4.2% body fat.
I now walk for one hour a day and no more aches and pains and Im enjoying myself.
I am healthier and have more energy and feel great!
My doctor is amazed at how well Ive done. My blood pressure is normal and my sugar and cholesterol have also improved.
When I told him I joined Curves and walk every day, he told me to keep up the good work.
Before I started Curves I was wearing size 42 and now Im wearing a size Large or extra Large.
My children are very proud of me and say
Mom you look great. People I know meet me on the street and comment, WOW you look great what are you doing? I proudly tell them
Im a Curves member and I go three times a week!
Curves have changed my life , Ive started living my life again and I feel GREAT.
I recommend Curves to everyone. It definitely works.
Thank you Curves for helping me see the real me.
