My Story
Curves Changes Lives!!

My name is Kathy and I,ve been a member of the Germantown, Ohio Curves for about a year and a half. Before joining Curves, I was 60 pounds overweight and needed to wear size 20 slacks. All that extra weight made everyday tasks difficult and my joints ache.
My husband of 25 years actually bought my membership as a gift because he knew I was unhappy with the extra weight and that I'd tried and failed at other programs for years.
I worked out faithfully 4 or 5 times a week for the first year I was a member of Curves and only lost 3 pounds which was disappointing. Then my Curves installed the Smart Program and soon after, the Curves Weight Management Program was offered. I signed up for both and haven't looked back!
I had such bad eating habits that at first I was worried that I wouldn't know what to eat on the program, but the classes, book, and videos made it easy to learn the right way to eat. I really got excited about how much weight I lost that first week! 4 pounds! WOW! Every week, I'd weigh in and see a weight loss and every week I became more confident that I could finally win my battle. I've lost a total of 54 pounds now and I've gone from size 1X to a size 14 and I love shopping for clothes now!
The benefits of losing weight are endless. I feel like a new person; I have more confidence, I move easier and my joints don't ache all the time. Simple things, like tying my shoelaces or washing the car are so much easier! In addition to working out at Curves, I've started jogging with my daughter. We run on cross country trails that before I lost weight I would have had trouble walking! This summer, my family took a vacation to the coast and my daughters and I played in the ocean for hours at a time. Before I lost weight, I would have been ashamed of my figure in a bathing suit and I would have hid myself under the umbrella. Now, I get compliments almost every day about my new muscles!
Thank you, Curves; you've truly changed my life and through me, my family; we are the success story!
