My Story
I am an AMAZING CURVES EARLY MORNING DIVA! I am not the skinniest, never have been, never will be, and don't want to be! I have lost 30 pounds on this wonderful journey so far and have gained so much more! I am The HAPPIEST Curves member ever!

When our Curves was opening, my daughter wanted me go with her to try this 30 minute workout. I was skeptical, but went anyway. I loved the ease of the workout and joined on the spot.(I was too embarrassed by the number on the scale, and didn't weigh and measure for weeks, so my true starting point is unknown!)

Curves is 4 blocks from my house. I have been going ever since. Sometimes, I even ride my bike! Curves is the only workout I have ever stuck with. I won't give it up for anything! I have the most workouts at our Curves: 1500+!

I am 52! Married 34 years, have 1 daughter, 4 sons, 2 grandsons and take care of my dad who wasn't much older than me when he had his first stroke. That MOTIVATES me to go to Curves almost every morning. I started going to Curves after work, but LIFE would always get in the way. I was never a morning person and tried hard to find time to take care of ME!

One September, I told myself everyday: "On the 1st of October, I will start going to Curves at 6AM!" And I did and haven't stopped!

Curves has given me a positive attitude about EVERYTHING. Having a big family, we have been through more than you can imagine! I have been able to deal with it better by getting my workout done as the sun is coming up. I have more patience and energy for the day. The early time works best for me, since no one in my family ever has a crisis then. They are sleeping, while I am working out and taking care of myself.

My group is: EARLY MORNING DIVAS! I have an email list of all our divas. I call or email if we haven't seen you. (Unless you are on the DO NOT CALL LIST!) Curves is not just a physical workout: It is mental, keep up with what goes on, look out for each other, workout. We have been through good and bad, yoga and zumba, parades and parties. We have an annual Christmas dinner. We take group pictures with our 100-1000 plus workout shirts!

We are always open to more! We want to make everyone comfortable and encourage ALL to keep going! Curves has been great for my self-esteem. No one judges. I fall out of bed, no make up, a pony tail. When my Curves friends see me dressed up, made up and hair done, they can't believe it is me!

I am an Amazing Curves member! I love MY Curves, all the friends I have made along the way.
