My Story
I joined Curves in late 2004. There are so many reasons why I joined, but honestly one of the most important reasons was self recognition of how negative my self- confidence and image became over the years. Ive always been sociable, I have tons of friends, but I really began to believe that people around me at this point probably appreciated me more than I appreciated myself. I had always wanted to lose weight, and I felt it was finally time.

So, with good intentions, I started out coming in three times a week, lost a couple pounds and inches, things were looking good. But after a few months, the familiarity of my old after work routine became too comfortable, and sooner than later I found myself unenthusiastic to workout, slumped in front of the computer.

In October of 2007 after many phone calls and cute post cards sent by Curves staff, the guilt of not accomplishing something I so badly wanted took over me. I figured if Curves cares, then I should care just as much, and decided to give it another go. After a month or two of working out I noticed slight changes, but I wanted major changes. So with the help of the Curves staff we looked at my diet. I began to eat breakfast (which I hadnt done in years), my snacks went from potato chips to cucumber chips, and I learned to incorporate whole grains, vegetables, and lean protein into my diet. Most importantly, I started drinking tons of water. This turn around produced the changes I wanted, and a little after one year Ive lost 110 pounds! And the best thing about it is that it is all Curves, all me. No additional programs or magic supplements." The Curves staff has taught me how to eat and live successfully, and I couldnt be happier.

I owe an infinite amount of thank yous to everyone. I always imagined but never believed I could be where I am today. The information and support I have received from Curves is irreplaceable, and the changes Curves has made in my life are priceless. I am a more confident, healthier individual, on a mission to continue on with my success. Thanks Curves, you have become my new, favorite, after work workout routine.
