My Story
On February 8, 2008, I went to the doctor for a regular check up. When I stepped on the scale, I thought that someone was standing on it with me. The amount was a number I had never seen and I was in disbelief. That was a number I wanted to change as quickly as possible. Especially since diabetes runs in our family and I already had been diagnosed as borderline a few years before, but had been able to control it with food choices.

The very next day, I joined a weight loss program. By mid-April I had lost 25 lbs, but knew I also wanted to strengthen and tone my body and take care of it over all. I had heard about Curves and didn't know anyone who was a member. Right from the very beginning...Day 1 of my 3 week trial...I was hooked.

I look forward to my circuit workout and sometimes I go 6 days a week. I thoroughly enjoy the friendships of the circuit trainers and members, it's close to my home, it's only a 30 minute workout, and I don't have to mess with changing weights on each machine. I've even been able to use a travel pass when I've been out of town.

100 + pounds later and I feel terrific. The benefit of getting weighed and measured each month really helps me to see progress. So far I've lost 11 inches off my waist, 2 inches off each of my arms and 2 inches off each of my thighs. My Body Mass Index has gone from "obese" to "normal" and my Body Fat has decreased 11.5%.

Once again I can tie my shoes, walk across the room without being winded, and wear one size fits all clothing. My joints aren't sore and my shoe size is even smaller.

Thank you Tooele Curves for helping me feel "AMAZING"!!
