My Story
CURVES HAS CHANGED MY LIFE! It all started with a picture of me and my new niece on June 11, 2008. I knew I had gained weight but boy was I so sad to see the shape I was in when I saw myself holding that beautiful baby. I had to do something. It wasn't long after that when I was looking at an AVON magazine and noticed the Curves Avon Study. Could I do it? Join curves for 30 days for FREE and track my progress. Well, I knew I had to do something so I gave it a shot! I changed my eating habits~1200 calories a day/30grams(or less) fat a day and excercised just 3 days a week at my local CURVES. In just 30 days, I lost 7 lbs. and over 10 inches. I was hooked. This could really work for me. I was feeling great.

I couldn't have done it without the support of my family either. My husband is so wonderful, he picks our daughter up from school 3 days a week so that I can drive in to town to exercise. My sister helps out during the summer. I have sang PRAISES all over about Curves. I teach Kindergarten and my co-workers were beginning to notice the change in my body and the way I feel. One of them joined Curves around December 2008 and it wasn't long after, my sister joined, too! Just recently a lady that I go to church with joined.

My daughter was hugging me one day and said, "Mom, I can reach my hands around you and touch them together!" That brought tears to my eyes. She has also made the comment about how much energy I have and how we use to "not do things" until I joined Curves. My husband is a wonderful man who never goes a day without complimenting me and making me feel great about myself and my appearance~I love him more than words can say. I recently went for my yearly check up and my OB-GYN was floored! He said he can't wait to see me next year!

I have continued my healthy eating habits and exercise routine for a whole year and have lost 60 lbs. and I can't even count the inches. I would like to loose 30 more lbs and I know with the help of curves I can! THANKS CURVES!
