My Story
My Curves Testimonial by Jackie Collier, Elk Grove, California

I ran into Karla in the parking lot in front of Curves. She asked me to attend the FREE new Weight Management Class. I attended the meeting the next day, and it seemed like a plan for me.

I had three knee surgeries in 2006, 2007, and 2008--less than a year apart. I had seen my doctor February 2nd and was released to go to Curves. I saw Karla on February 2nd and she signed me up. On February 9, my first day there, I came in on a cane. I had to use it to get on and off of the equipment, and I was able to go around the circuit only once. By the 3rd day, I was walking without the cane and I have been walking without it ever since. My 2nd week I was able to go around the circuit twice. I thank God for Curves, and I am happy to be part of the Curves family.

The Weight Management Program is the best. It is a very good and healthy way to reach your goal weight. The benefits of Phase 3 after being on Phases 1 and 2 will definitely boost your metabolism. I dare anyone to try the plan for 30 days. I tell people about Curves and their Weight Management Plan. If you should ever come to Elk Grove, California with your Travel Pass, please come and visit our Club at 8112 Sheldon Road, Suite 300. I will try and motivate that person. You will be right at home away from home. I am there between 6:15 a.m. and 6:45 a.m. 5 days a week Monday thru Friday.

I went to IHOP for breakfast and I had made up my mind that I was going to have the pineapple pancakes they advertised on TV. The waitress that came to seat my husband and I told me that I had lost a lot of weight since she had last seen me. So-o-o after that, I decided to have the low-calorie spinach omelet. I am on my 5th Food Diary and Exercise Book, which is where I write down EVERYTHING I eat daily. Ive received encouragement from the Curves Staff as well as members. This is one of the best weight and management programs I have ever been on. As of July 11, 2009, I have lost 25.75 inches, 35.20 lbs., and Ive lost 25.88 pounds of body fat--all since February, 2009. I think we have the most motivating Curves in California. My goal is to be less than 200 pounds by December, 2009.
