My Story
I started Curves as part of my life changing plan. I stopped smoking in January 1999 and proceeded to pack on an additional 80lbs to make my total weight 240lbs. Decided to return to college and I obtained my accounting diploma in 2000. Now comes the exercise, I was only walking but it was not enough. I was easily catching colds from my children & coworkers and really had no energy to deal with my two children. I joined a gym for the first time in my life. Curves was my choice as the people running the place made my first experence great! I have continued to make new friends at Curves. I also have had difficult times in my personal life, my Curves friends & coaches have helped me cope with almost losing my Husband to COPD & dealing with my aging mother who lives with me. The have been there, encourging me to keep coming to Curves & making sure that I kept my health. I attend Curves using Curvesmart 3 times each week, I have been on the 6-week solution & changed my eating habits, I belly-dance, bowl & ride my bicycle an average of 30km a week. I am in the best shape of my life but still a work in progress as my goal is to lose another twenty pounds. I currently weigh in at 185lbs & have not had a cold in years. Thank you Curves staff & Curves clients! Without you I would still be talking about losing weight not actually doing it!
