Ajax

Member Since May 2004

My Story
I am a Curves trainer, and would like to enter a member in the Contest, Carol Pryce. Her committment in transforming herself has amazed members at Curves Ajax South, Canada.

Carol Pryce had struggled with her weight her entire adolescence. At age 18, she was 150 pounds ....caffeine and sweets were her comfort.

By Age 46, Carol was unhappy and depressed - at 220 pounds, BMI 35, and a body fat of 36.4%- she was overweight. She was extremely tired all the time and was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid. Her self-esteem was shot, she hated shopping for clothes and she became uncomfortable in most public situations.

Carol knew it was time to change her life. She mustered up the courage to join Curves in May 2004, and decided that she was going to lose the weight before her 50th birthday.

She found herself in a safe, non-intimidating environment where the workout was fun and the staff very supportive.

Carol knew that she was not fully committed to her goals and by Dec 2004 weighed 225 pounds and her body fat was 41.1%.

With the help of the staff at Curves, she joined the Curves six weeks solution plan and started focusing on her goals. Carol now had another reason to achieve her goals, her daughter started gaining weight and Carol knew that her daughter was following her lifestyle. She enrolled herself and her daughter in yoga classes and Carol worked out at Curves three times per week and stayed on the weight management plan.

Pounds lost: 65 and a half. Total Inches lost: 33.50

Today Carol is a Curves success at 159 and half Pounds,
Body Fat 32%, and BMI 24

Now 50 years old, and transforming herself inside and out, Carol believes nothings impossible, thanks to the support she received at Curves Ajax South.

"Since I joined I have lost sixtyfive and a half pounds and gained a lot of muscle and feel stronger and more energized.
I have much more energy and strength, but what I am most excited about is the inches and weight I have lost.
It has surprised me how much this has changed life for me. The staff and other members are very encouraging and seem to genuinely want me to succeed."

"In my previous weight loss attempts I have never had an exercise and weight management regime and was not successful at keeping the pounds off. Going from a size 16 to a size 10 has increased my self esteem and I am a much happier person."

"The 30 minutes 3 times a week at Curves Ajax just flies by, leaving me happier, stronger, and fit. Curves has helped me to transform myself inside and out. Im in better shape today than I have been in years. I have added years to my life with the weight that I have lost and I dont plan on stopping there."
