My Story
My story starts 4 years ago,recovering from a bout with cancer.It was a lengthy period where my couch was my friend.As healing time went by, I reached 200 pounds. I never was a small person always told I was big boned!I had no energy. Emotional distress,menopause,all onset from my surgery.At 48 years old I needed to do something.I saw a curves commercial one day, all women, no mirrors, 30 minutes and thought I could do that. Off I went and joined.It was 2006,1 year after my illness. I started my work outs met some wonderful women it was so much fun I couldn't wait to get there each day. Months went by and it was slow going, not much change, until I joined the 6 week challenge, then the nutritional education I gained from the classes and my wonderful instructor Becky taught me the right ways to eat and I was on my way, I took the 6 week solution again the following year and couldn't get over how I was losing 2 to 3 pounds a month and now I eat for my metabolism, I never leave my home without food packed in my lunch bag. I got from curves. I eat all the time. Since I have been going to curves and have the nutritional information I learned, I have not been hungry or full in 3 years.To date I have lost 53 pounds and 96 inches. Who would think you have to eat to lose. It is my daily medicine. I am on no meds and am in the excellent body fat category.When I started I was in the very poor category. I weigh and measure again on Monday morning and always look forward to it. I am a firm believer in this program and have not put back a pound since I began. Imagine the old saying eat right and exercise, it really does work.I am amazed at my curves and my husband is too!I just rejoined for my 4th year and look forward to it so much. My club is so complimentary and supportive.Thank you curves for giving me a feeling I never had. I put on a size 8 jean the other day and I started an 18!I love my Curves!Sincerely,Maureen Mowry
