My Story
Hello:
I am a curves member and I am 69 years young! I have been a member for about 6 years now. At first, I didn't go regularly, and soon I missed a month or more, so instead of loosing weight...I was putting it on and was up to 250 lbs. On my next visit to my doctor, she sent me for blood work and other tests for diabites, glucose levels etc. then told me I was a type 2 diabetic. WOW!! That sent me for a loop, and I said NO I'm not! I started going back to Curves every morning faithfully. I started paying more attention to my diet and cut out sugar completely. After 3 months of hard work...I had lost 50lbs. On my next doctor appointment, she told me my glucose level was down considerably. I was so happy! I didn't have to take medication for it and still today I'm doing fine, my A1C (average glucose levels)is 5.1 that is very good. Besides dieting and Curves, what helped me the most was the people at Curves. Verna Dubray our Manager is such a wonderful, caring person and a blessing to me. At Curves I also met a very caring retired nurse Carole and we became "workout buddies". If I don't show up she is calling to see if I'm alright. Also many other women at Curves are so caring and thoughtful....These people are my support system. My family is too. I LIVE to go to Curves every morning, it makes for a perfect day.
The Curves I belong to is Curves on Victoria Ave. Thunder Bay, Ontario. Canada.
Verna Dubray is our special manager and we are so Blessed to have her in our lives for inspiration and support. This is MY SUCCESS Story.
