My Story
I joined Curves to feel better about myself and to lose weight. I have not always been big. When I got married I weighed 130 to 135 pounds. When I was pregnant with my daughter I gained up to 207 pounds. I lost down to 160 pounds, that was 18 years ago. Then I got pregnant with my son six years later. I didn't gain as much with him but just kept gaining until my present weight of 266 pounds now. My life is so busy with work, kids and extra activities. Curves makes it easier to exercise. I feel better since joining Curves. I used to have a lot of problems with my arms going numb during the night when I slept and that is much better. I know I have to work on the correct way of eating to start seeing my weight come off. I am thankful to the ladies who run Curves in my area. They are such motivators, especially one who is my "drill sergeant". She keeps me straight and pushes me which some days I need and tells me to slow down and not overdo it when I have not been able to go for a while.
