My Story
I was 69 years old when I joined Curves. My daughter had given me a Gift Certificate for 2 months to see if I would like it. I was a little overweight and really did not like myself. I had an emergency appendtecomy in Dec and had just been told that I had Parkinsons. I was not a very happy person at this time. I had lost a few pounds while I was in the hospital so I thought it would be a good time to join Curves. In just a few months I felt so much better and I also liked myself again. I have lost 6 lbs, total inches minus 20.75 and minus 7.19 lbs in body fat. The exercise has also helped with the Parkinsons by maintaining the strength in my right hand and arm. I find that I feel much better by attending Curves. My family and the staff at Curves have encouraged me to continue with the Go for the Green program.
