My Story
My journey with Curves began back in September 2007 with a mission to lose weight. My kids were both in school and I finally was able to start focusing on my goal. You see, I have a congenital hip disorder that caused me a great amount of pain. For almost 2 years prior to joining Curves, my pain was increasing with each and every day. I would go to the doctor's and they would tell me that I was too young for a hip replacement and maybe I should try to lose weight. Of course, like most of us, I dismissed that suggestion time and time again thinking "don't all doctors tell you that." My pain increased so much that it began to affect the romance in my marriage in addition to my overall well being. I finally decided to do something about it and joined Curves. Today, almost 2 years later, I am proud to say that I have lost 40 lbs. and 39 inches. I went from a "poor" body fat rating to an "excellent." In addition, I went from a size 14 to a size 8. Curves has definitely helped me to better my life and myself and I feel and look great. My hip pain has significantly decreased and I am only bothered by it occassionally as opposed to every day. I want to thank my local Curves as well as my friends and family for all the support they have given me. Curves helped me get my life back!!
