My Story
I have always struggled with my weight. I have the genes, everything seems to collect around my abdominal area. No hips, no but, nice legs then bam it looks like I am 6 months pregnant.
Prior to joining curves, I had no energy, I had no real idea of 'healthy' living especially not 'healthy' eating. I lived on my own, ate from boxes, frozen foods etc.
I was then diagnosed with poor circulation in my left leg, there was fear that I may have a blood clot. I was only 22 @ that time. So young, this couldn't happen to me.
I originally started going to curves to 'workout' my leg, I have to wear a stocking that helps my leg not swell. Curves gave me courage, gave me life that I never knew I had. It gave me so much energy!
I lost alot of weight @ that Tempe site, I would go everyday in the morning and love it. I then got a better job and quickly put off working out. I eventually moved away but still in the back of my mind knew that I needed to work out.
2007, I had gained 32 pounds in a year. Right back to where I once was. I walked into the Metro Curves and was mortified. I am once again back down to 206 and feel great! I love the fact that I can go to a gym and know everyone, there is no judgement, there is only support. I am really happy that I stuck it out with Curves and feel it has changed my life for the better. Thanks Curves and ladies that I see on a daily basis :)
