My Story
I am a mother of 4 grown children (3 of which still are at home), married to the same fellow for 26 years this year.
When I got married in 1983, I weighed 115 pounds. A month after the wedding, I weighed 130 pounds. With each passing year and pregnancy my weight continued to climb. March 2008 I was at my heaviest weight of 182 (which was even more than any of the times I had been pregnant!).
I had lost some weight last year through a weight loss Bible study and using the SparkPeople website. But then I went through a period of stress and the weight came back on.
This spring, I was determined to lose weight for my youngest son's wedding but it didn't happen due to various reasons - I no longer had the Bible study group to meet with for support, my treadmill developed belt slipping issues, it was too cold to do anything outside, and using the SparkPeople website chewed up a lot of my time and I wasn't seeing results.
Around April, I found out a friend of mine had started working at Curves so I called her and asked her a few questions about the Fitness Study that was taking place at the time (I had seen the sign promoting it). She explained to me what it was about and about the workout. I prograstinated through the month of April. Finally mid-May I talked my daughter into going along with me to Curves to check it out. We ended up joining and are loving it!
At first I couldn't believe that 30 minute workouts, with 30 seconds on each machine would do much for me. But I have been pleasantly surprised and pleased in the few weeks we've been members. The workouts are fun and we enjoy the topic of the day.
We joined the CurveSmart program which has really helped me in striving to meet my goals. I have more energy, sleep MUCH better at night and am seeing a change in my body. I know the weight will come off eventually but I figure the weight didn't come on overnight so I don't expect it to disappear overnight. I will be attending my first weight management class on June 18th.
My youngest daughter is planning to join in July and my sister-in-law is wanting to check it out as well. This is a program that works!! Thanks Curves!
