My Story
				I was at my heaviest of 364 pounds.  Struggled just as everyone else to get pounds off and find something to enjoy to help with that.  I struggled also for many years to have the gatric bypass.  Finally in 2008 I decided it was the "YEAR FOR ME"  no more excuses to follow through with that.  I knew with the surgery it was/is highly recommended to get in a exercise routine.  And many years ago I had tried curves and enjoyed it.  So I said I'm going for it again.  I found the one in New Richmond, Ohio and was taken by the support given by the owner along with her staff.  I knew then I was going to work this in my plan of the "NEW ME".  I am approaching my 1 year anniversary come August 12, 2009 of having the gastric bypass. To this day I still get the same wonderful support from the owner and staff of the Curves that I attend.  With the routine of the workout it has helped me see curves I can't remember ever having.  So as of June 28th 2009 when I last weighed I have loss a total of 180 pounds.  I know that along with great support from my husband, family, co-workers, curve members, church family, my doctor and his staff my weight loss has been a success.  Yes some may look at the step that I took as a easy way, but I'm here to tell you my doctor gave me a tool. It's still up to me how I use it.   I truly feel that curves was a wise choice to help me to a "NEW ME".
