My Story
Joining Curves was the best decision I have ever made!!!In 2004 at the young age of 43 I suffered a debilitating stroke. Recovery was my only option. 5 years later I am far stronger and fitter than I may ever have been, but still suffer from some physical limitations, especially my balance. On my birthday in 2008 my best friend Donna introduced me to her Curves, as I had shown interest and really did not know if it was something I could physically do. That first time around the curcuit was exhausting and very hard, but I am not one to back away from a challenge, so I decided I should do a one week trial. There was no turning back, I was amazed I could actually do this!!! If I could manage to get on and off each machine, some were harder than others, surely I could do Curves for 30 minutes. A Caribbean cruise in my future, and I was determined to work hard to lose weight & inches and build stamina at Curves. Everyone at Curves welcomed and encouraged me along my journey.
I faithfully include Curves in my weekly schedule and will have my 300 workouts T-shirt by the end of July 2009. The pounds as well as the inches have come off. I am definately a work in progress. In just over 1 year I have lost over 60 lbs and many inches. I have met some absolutely fabulous members who make the workouts more enjoyable. It is always nice to see a smiling face. I can't believe how far I have come and will keep working towards my goal. Without the great supportive staff and fellow members at Curves I am not sure where I would be today. Thank you Curves, You gave me my life back!!!
