"Thank you Curves for helping me get my life back and looking good again"

I began coming to Curves in August of 2003. I started because I just could not keep up with my almost 2-year-old daughter and I am a teacher that really enjoys doing exciting things with her class! After I had my daughter, I was 236 pounds and I thought I would lose most of my weight nursing her. When my daughter turned 9 months, I stopped nursing her and realized that I was still 223 pounds. I was miserable and I knew that my daughter would be walking before I knew it. I began trying to diet and watched what I ate, but I really was not seeing any results. By August 2003, I was 216 pounds and by this time my daughter was not only walking, but also walking and running faster than I could go. At this time, my mom told me about Curves and offered to pay for a membership for my birthday if I promised to try it for one full year! I lost eight pounds and six inches the first month. I then got the book ": Permanent Results without Permanent Dieting" from my mom and I read it through. It helped me realize that I had to change my eating habits for life, not just go on a fad diet and I had to exercise for at least 30 minutes, 3 times/week. I continued to work out and eat better and the inches and pounds began to shed off. I began to feel less tired and more energetic. My daughter and I began to play more and take walks with our dogs. My husband also began to notice and was impressed. That February, I did the Six Week Challenge and it really inspired me to continue drinking the protein shakes for extra vitamins and minerals that I definitely need! This January I was so excited to see that I had lost 36 pounds and 13.75 inches last year!!! Thank you Curves for helping me get my life back and looking good again

"As my teenager would say, CURVES ROCKS!"

Disheartened, Disconsolate, Demoralized. These words for many years summarized my feelings about my weight, culminating in the fall of 2003. My husband had already started a weight-loss regimen that summer. My husband at 6'3" tall and me at 5'7" both weighed exactly the same weight, 250 lbs. I knew it was time to make a change. I have a most wonderful family. Other than this one persistently frustrating area, my weight, I had and continue to have a wonderful life in every way. In past years, I had tried books, exercise equipment, fad diets, calorie counting, and programs based on special foods or points, all to no avail. I even went as far as having stomach- stapling surgery. I simply couldn't get my weight under control and going through menopause wasn't making it any easier. In June 2003, I began to walk just to get started. I began eating healthier and feeling better about myself but I knew I still needed help. In October 2003, I saw an ad for Curves. The skeptic that I was. I advised that I was willing to join for one month but I wouldn't consider signing a contract. I still had my doubts. I finally embraced a system that allowed me to take control of my health. I absolutely loved the 30 minute work out! Two weeks later, I signed a one-year agreement and told the Manager, Nancy, that my goal was to get out of Plus Size clothes and into a size Large. Curves has presented me with so many choices that it almost seems too easy. I shed 14 pounds during the Six Week Challenge and I now know how to speed up my metabolism so I will never have to diet again. The Curves Supplements, GlucoCrave Extreme, Stress Eze and Curves Protein Shake have helped me maintain a healthy body as well as a healthy mind. In July 2004, I ran the 10K Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta and crossed the finish line in my size MEDIUM Curves t-shirt. My 15 months with Curves has been life altering. I have lost 62 lbs,. Lowered my percentage of body fat by almost 10% and have more energy than I ever could have dreamed possible. As my teenager would say, CURVES ROCKS!

"Thank you Curves, and all the staff for helping me to feel better and look better. My family and I now have a longer future together."

I joined Curves September 1, 2004.  I had just had a bout with high blood pressure, (220/115).  My doctor highly recommended that I needed to lose weight and start a regular exercise program.  I had already heard about the Curves program from my sister-in-law. I had seen her results.  I liked the idea of 30 minutes three times a week.   The day I joined I heard some talk about a "Challenge".  I got some more information about it and decided to do it.  I did not lose like I wanted to, but I stuck to it.  I am now in my third Challenge, and losing weight and fat.   Not only have I lost weight, I have also gotten more flexible.  I am 54.  A few weeks ago I went through the McDonald’s Play land with my 2 ½ year old grandson. Thank you Curves, and all the staff for helping me to feel better and look better. My family and I now have a longer future together.
