Member Since February 2007

My Story
I'm 33 years old and I live in Raleigh, NC. I have been overweight for the majority of my life. Ive tried various diet plans over the years. The most successful one was with a local bariatric doctor that utilized a combination of injections and vitamins for weight loss. I lost a total of 16 pounds. It was an expensive method to lose weight so I stopped going to the doctor. The weight came back on. It wasnt until the seams of a few pair of jeans came apart because of my weight that I decided to do something about. I joined Curves February 2007 weighing in at 367 pounds. It was a shock when I stepped on that scale and saw my weight. It let me know what I needed to work on. The first workout is the hardest but after that it gets easier. I am a member of the Capital Commons Curves and I love it there. My fellow members are very encouraging and supportive. During the summer of 2008, I joined a Womens Beginner Running Group, completed three 5K races including the Making Strides against Breast Cancer walk which is sponsored by Curves. I know if I hadnt joined Curves I would have been able to do any of these things. It still surprises me that people have noticed that Ive lost weight even when I didnt see it myself. Since joining Curves, I have lost a total of 28 pounds and 27 inches.
I plan on continuing at Curves until I make it to the last column on the wall with the highest inches lost. Go Curves!
