My Story
My experience with Curves has been phenomenal!! Last December (2008) I went for my annual physical. I was totally discouraged when I heard the results of my lipid profile: Triglycerides-167; HDL-58; LDL-142; Total cholesterol-233, and Blood sugar-107. My doctor said before he would put me on medication, he wanted me to try diet and exercise. So he suggested a low carb diet and an exercise program for 3 times a week which would produce an exercising heart rate. I joined our local Curves in January for 3 times a week and started my lo-carb diet. The club's owner was my personal cheerleader. She was and, still is, a great motivator! Last week I went for my 6-month check-up. My doctor actually applauded. I have lost 19 pounds, but most importantly my numbers said it all: Triglycerides-104; HDL-increased to 68; LDL-110; Total cholesterol-199; and Blood sugar-101. Amazing!!! I can't thank Curves and my personal cheerleader enough for keeping me on track. I know I have now established a lifestyle that I must maintain to secure my quality of life. Hooray for Curves and its exceptional trainers!!
