My Story
Well, I knew something had to be done. The weight was creeping on too fast. Then one night I went grocery shopping and it was one of those nights I just wasn't ready to go home. I knew there was a CURVES in my shopping center and the sign seemed to stick out that night. So I thought for a minute, then put my groceries in the car and went in. I spoke to someone about the program and then made my appointment to try it. Before long, I was going faithfully. I loved the fact that in 30 minutes you were out. Even on those days I want to pass by, I think about those 30 minutes and I go in. I also go in for the motivation and support from my fellow exercisers and the trainers. I also started and then got serious about working out in different ways on my "off" days from CURVES. I got right on board with the CURVES Smart program, and have never exercised harder!! I am now at the point that I feel something is missing if I don't get to CURVES on my "scheduled" day. I am now down 92 pounds and still going strong. I am loving how toned I am! People at CURVES comment on my weight loss all the time and tell me I inspire them!!! What a feeling when I go to be inspired and am told I am the inspiration for someone else!! I wasn't sure I would get this far and actually feel that exercise was as natural as any other daily activity ! I have also majorly changed how I eat and participate in a well known weight program to help me make those changes. I love sharing my tips and words of wisdom with my friends at CURVES. The owner of my CURVES was excited about this contest and gave me the information right away and urged me to enter, as she feels I am an inspiration to the other members. She has also hung up before and now pictures of me, so the other members can see where I started. CURVES has truly cahnged my life for the better.
