My Story
Hi. My name is Eva Bradley. I am a 67 year old woman from small town Tottenham, Ontario Canada. This is my story of how I have become a happy and healthy Curves member.

I have the same old story as alot of women. You know how it goes. At one time, when you are young, we always try and look our best and take care of ourselves. We meet the love of our lives. Get married. Get comfortable with ourselves and our lives. We forget to take time for us with our busy family and their lives. Well, that's what happened to me.

Sometimes, life throws you a "Curve" ball so to speak." I have no where to turn". I didn't feel comfortable to talk with others. I slowly lost self esteem and confidence in myself. Well, you can get what happened next !

Yes, I became a very good friend with food. I know it was a bad decision on my part. When you lose self worth and have little encouragement, you begin to neglect yourself in every way. As time went by, I knew I wasn't happy with myself. I went from a content 140 lb. to "I don't care about myself attitude".

Sure, I tried all kinds of diets. As soon as something started working for me, I stopped and went back to the same old me.

One day, I was feeling down and thought of what I had done to my body. I said "It's time you did something about this". "Do it for yourself". So, that day I decided to go for a walk where I met my friend Diane. We were talking and I looked at her and asked "What have you been doing?" "You look so good". She told me she went to Curves and just loved it. So, I gave it a try.

It was the beginning of a happier and healthier lifestyle for me. I call them my "Curves Family". I now spend time with the wonderful staff and girls who encourage me and never let me feel out of place. They are always ready to help me out and tell me not to give up and "stick with the program". Because of all the confidence in me now, I'm a happier and healthier person. I just "love my Curves" (my body curves and the company too).

I am a very dedicated person now and hope my story will encourage and help other women not to give up on themselves. Take the giant step. It will be worth it in the end. Also rewarding are the wonderful new people in your life, the staff and girls.

I'm so proud to belong to such a wonderful establishment. Curves really turned my life around in one year. I am pleased to let you know I lost 46.5 lbs. and 45 inches but most of all, I got my self esteem back. I couldn't of done it without my "Curves Family". They're the best !!
