My Story
This is my AMAZING Curves story. I originally joined Curves September 7, 2006 with a personal goal to get back in shape. I am 56 years old and had previously not exercised very often and had been inactive for about a year and noticed I had gained weight. I had gone up 1 size in clothing and I decided it was time to do something about it! The 30 minute curves routine fit my schedule and the Curves I joined was close to where I lived so I was more committed to going on a regular basis. The owner and the circuit workers were and still are great. They gave me encouragement and persuaded me to consider joining the weight loss class that winter. I joined the class and learned a whole new way of eating healthy and keeping exercise in my life. I lost 13 pounds and was so proud of myself. I lost my big stomach, toned up my body and lost one whole dress size! This happened all at the same time I was making new friends at Curves. This became easy since the atmosphere at Curves was welcoming, relaxing and members all encouraged each other to stay on target and keep exercising. I also started encouraging other members to do the same. I participated in the contests and even would get a travel
pass so I could exercise when I traveled out of town. While visiting out of town with my adult daughter, I encouraged her to go with me as a guest to the Curves in her town to try it out. As a result, she joined her local Curves and became a member 2 weeks later. Now, when we visit each other out of town, we make Curves a place we spend together just us girls. Curves has become my home away from home, given me encouragement to stay healthy and in shape,and supplied me with a whole group of new friendships. This is the reason I think I am the most AMAZING Curves member!
