My Story
My success story began July of 2007. My daughter asked me to try Curves with her. So we made an appointment, and I truly believe that day changed my life for the better. I told the trainer this will never work for me. She said we will see!! I was asked what my weight was, and I honestly didn't know. When I stepped on the scales, I was 27 pounds heavier than I thought. I almost cried. It was a true eye opener for me. I also had been feeling very tired and had no any energy. My joints would constantly ache when I walked, so we decided to try Curves for a one week free trial, and liked it so much that we both joined. It was very hard for me at first. I would feel like that after doing the circuit for only 1/2 time, that I could not go on. But I was encouraged by my daughter and the trainers that I could do it. At my first weigh and measure, I was surprised at the results. 10 pounds and 2-1/2 inches were lost. Wow! I also began to watch what I ate and started making healthy choices with my diet. I cut out fried, fast, junk foods, sweets and soft drinks. I started to eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. I began to have breakfast every day and was not starving before lunch time. My second month at Curves, I had lost a total of 17 pounds and 14-3/4 inches and could start feeling these results in my clothes. I actually had to start buying new clothes. It was a great feeling. My co-workers began to notice and asked what I doing? I proudly told them diet and "Curves" was what was working for me. I began to stop every day after work and doing the circuit 5 days a week, as on the days I had not been going, I felt like something was missing. The pounds and inches contined to drop steadily each month until June of 2008 I hit 50 pounds and 43-1/2 inches. At the July weigh in -one year with Curves- 50 pounds and 47 inches lost. What an accomplishment for me. I have gone from a size 18 to a size 8. Friends stop and look at me and say, you look really good. I wonder just how bad I did look before. I tell them I sure do feel 100% better and I have Jan and the whole Curves staff to thank for this. I feel truly blessed. Without them and the support from my family and friends, this would not have been possible. I am currently at 52 pounds lost and 48 inches. My goal for now is to lose only about 10 more pounds and to maintain that. Thank you Curves for changing my life for the better. I could not have done this without you.!!
