My Story
I joined Curves in 2006. I have been obese since I was a little girl. My first year as a Curves member, I came sporadically and didn't work very hard on the circuit. At age 45, I weighed 287 pounds and wore a size 26/28. I had high cholesterol, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and diabetes. I felt terrible all the time!
In 2007 I began to research weight loss surgery. I chose to have reux-en-y gastric bypass surgery in October 2007. My life changed and Curves has played a huge role in these changes! I made a commitment to faithfully exercise as I lost weight. The surgery caused me to drop weight, but Curves kept me fit and healthy.
Many weight loss surgery patients have trouble with excess, hanging skin. Exercising at least three times a week at Curves has kept me toned. I fully credit Curves for keeping me from having a lot of excess skin. Curves has helped me lose a total of 115 pounds. My Curves leaders have encouraged me and kept me motivated. My life has changed completely. I owe it to myself to make good choices and Curves is one of the best choices I ever made!
