My Story
I joined curves in March of 2008. I am 52 years old and have been on all kinds of diets to loose weight since I was in high school. The most I ever weighed was 219 pounds. I was 200 pounds when I started and in size 18 pants. I've lost 45 pounds and feel great. I'm in size 10's and looking to loose another 10 pounds or so.. I have more energy and the strength to keep going forward.
What got me started, was my husband had bone cancer in 2005, and major surgery in June of 2006. He was going to be on crutches the rest of his life. He had his pelvic removed and now walking with a cane. He used to do blue bin, garbage, help carry groceries in, shovel and much more. Well, one day I was shoveling snow (have a big driveway) and I would breakdown and cry. I'd be almost done and couldn't wait to be finished. I work 4 days a week for 9 hours plus a bunch of extra work my husband use to do. Weighting 200 pounds, it took so much out of me. I'd be out of breath and exhausted. I then realized I needed to take care of myself. My husband could only do so much and I was very much out of shape.. In January of 2008, I joined "Weight Watchers". I also needed to "work out" and stick to it. I heard about "Curves" so I joined in March of 2008. That was the greatest commitment I made. My goal was to loose weight and be "Healthy". I love it there. The ladies are great. Some are younger and some ladies are older than me. I know this is what I'll need for the rest of my life to stay healthy. I give all the ladies older (and younger) than me credit for working out the way they do. Keep up the good work! They look great too! ! ! The curves circuit is great, no changing weights or heights. Just go in a circle and work out at your own pace. Love it....
The owner Carrie, now has the club open 5 days a week for 10 hours and on Saturday's for 3. She brought back "Curves Bucks" which made me make sure I made it 3 times a week to earn a buck. We also got 3 new machines added to our club. The ladies are all a great inspiration to keep me mtivated towards my goals.
I enjoy being a member at "Curves". Great place to be... Thanks Carrie (Owner)
