My Story
A few months after CURVES opened in Decorah, I joined. We hadn't lived here very long and I felt it would be a good way to meet new friends and a good way to keep moving! I've always had to watch my weight and as I grow older it is even more difficult to balance the food and exercise to keep weight from creeping on.(I was 73 this month.) I am not a naturally athletic person, so here is a place I feel very comfortable, as every person goes at their own pace. I enjoy coming here and reached 985 times this past Monday, JUNE 15, 2009. I have been able to maintain my weight and take off a couple pounds. At the last measuring session I had lost 2.50 # and 7.26 inches.
Also, for several years I've had borderline osteoporosis. My doctor recommended strength bearing exercise besides walking. Thanks to medication and the strength training machines here at CURVES, my bone density has gone up and in one area I no longer have osteoporosis.
Our club has a "go getter" of an owner. She has made the club one of the best in the U.S. One thing we now have are the smart machines. I feel now I really get a work out that is complete.
Thank you CURVES for new friends, stronger bones, and the motivation to keep moving and eat healthier.
