My Story
I joined Curves in late March 2007, I was 67 years old and I weighed 242 pounds. I was walking with a cane and was just barely able to get around. Colon cancer and a stroke during chemotherapy as well as three additional surgeries had taken a toll on by body.

With the encouragement of my Curves instructors I slowly began to lose weight and gain strength. I no longer had to joke that I got more excercise getting on and off the machines than I did using them. Just coming to Curves on a regular schedule resulted in a lose of 50 pounds and 43 inches. I still am working hard to keep up my strength and lose some additional pounds.

My doctor is very pleased with my progress. My daily insulin has been decreased by twenty units a day and my bone density scans have improved to the point that I no longer need prescription medicine to prevent osteoporosis.

I am a much happier person, one who is able to participate in life to a greater extent than I have in many years.

I think I am truly "Curves Most Amazing Member".
