My Story
I cant believe it when people call me skinny. Just a little over two years ago, I was in the hospital having my right knee totally replaced. The surgeon said it wouldnt be too long before I would have to have my other knee replaced and I hadnt even turned 60 yet! I vowed I would never go through that surgery again!

I knew I would have to make some changes in my lifestyle to make that happen. I was wearing a size 24 dress and tipping the scales at 250 lbs. Walking was near impossible. After my surgery I started walking short distances and finally joined a weight loss program. From May 07 until March 08, I had lost a little over 48 pounds.

A friend told me about her great experiences at Curves. That March, I walked into the Spring Valley Curves, wearing a tight-fitting size 16 and still over 202 lbs. In December 08, I reached my goal of 143 lbs with a total weight loss of 107 lbs overall, attributing my success to a sensible weight loss program with a regular routine of exercise at Curves, which helped me as of March 2009 to lose 64.5 lbs, and 46.19% Body Fat in just one year, since joining Curves. The most exciting part of all of this is that I am currently wearing size 6 dresses and size 4 jeans, having lost a total of 49.5 inches. My BMI is below 24 and my knees are in the best shape ever!
