My Story
I am so blessed to have found Curves. A little over a year ago I hurt my back and could not seem to exercise. Everything I did made my back hurt more and more. I finally gave up. Well as you can imagine I just kept gaining and gaining. The more I gained the more my back hurt and the less I could do. My husband and I talked about what to do. He just knew if I could get the weight off my back would feel better. Well with economic times the way they are I had no idea how I could possably afford anymore outgo with out much income. So I prayed and more and more I started seeing ads for Curves on TV than even on by computer homepage and on my e-mail sight. So I called and got an appointment.
I have been so blessed with the staff and the other people at Curves. I started with 3 days a week and my back got stronger little by little the pain got less. My first month weigh in was 20.5 lbs and 10". I was so excited!! I joined Curves Smart and started going 5 days a week. My second weigh in was 12 lbs and 8.5 inches. I am so excited! People ask me what I am doing and I tell them I am following the Curves book, the diet and exercise.
My husband is so very supportive. After the first month he said "Wow my finger tips touch when I hug you. Now he is Saying he can grab his wrist.
And best of all most of the time my back doesn't hurt at all. I still have pain when I try to go for walks so I am trying to incorporate 2 walks per week to start.
I am so very thankful that someone took the time and initive to create Curves. Thank you and God bless you.

"I manage the Curves here in Paradise and Doreen is inspiring us all to do our best. Watching her progress in her CurvesSmart workouts is so motivating to many of our members. Now, friends of hers are joining her here at Curves, expecting to attain the exciting results Doreen is getting. She is using the Fitness and Weight Management Plan along with her CurvesSmart workouts and is achieveing amazing results. One day not too long ago, I saw Doreen walking across the large parking lot to the club, I asked her if someone had dropped her off. She said, "I'm coming here to work out, I'm not going to park in front of the door". So, on days she drives, she parks as far from the club as she can, way out by the street. One day last week she came in to workout and told me that she had walked from home, a forty-five minute walk - up hill! When she finished her workout, she said "Well when you walk here, you have to walk home, but at least it's down hill." I know that her weigh in this month is going to be another "Biggest Loser of the Month" award for her! We are all very excited with what she has attained so far, and from what I see, there is no stopping Doreen! She truly is an amazing member."

"I am voting for Doreen. She is such an inspiration. She joined in April and has lost 39 pounds and 25 inches. She is getting so many from our church to join Curves. I am one of them."

"Doreen is SO INSPIRATIONAL! I work in the Paradise Curves that Doreen attends. Just to see where she's been to where she is going has been a truly amazing adventure. She has so much strength, and has overcome so much in her short time with us. She's only been a member since April! She has inspired me in many ways, and has inspired MANY others. We've had many new members recently, single-handedly because of Doreen! She is.. well, AMAZING!"
