Hi!
My name is Diana and I am a member of Curves. I am
44 years
old and have been happily married for 27 years. I have two
grown
sons and 5 grandchildren. I work part time at Norton City
Schools
and also I am a Pastor's Wife.
All my life I have struggled with my weight. I tried all the
fad
diets and even went to a diet doctor and used Meridia and Xenical to
lose weight. I lost the weight but ended up getting sick,
very
sick, and then the weight came back on not long after that.
I saw that a franchise of Curves came into Barberton, but at the time I
was working 2nd shift and thought there was no way they could help me.
Boy was I wrong. I always liked exercising but with
my old
job sometimes it was too difficult. The day I came in to
check it
out and watched everyone working out I thought to myself I could do
this. It actually looked fun and everyone was so easy and
friendly to talk to.
So here I am 51 pounds lighter and 53 inches smaller. There was no way
I could have done this anywhere else. I believe in this
program.
Soon after I joined I started the weight loss class, and it
was
well worth it. I learned how to eat all over again and change
my
whole life style with this program. I have more energy than I
know what to do with. I am taking on new challenges and
wanting
to do things that I thought I would never be able to do again or try.
THANK YOU CURVES and your staff for helping me get my life back!
Sincerely, Diana H.
Oh by the way my husband says thanks. He is very pleased with
my results too.

Carol Y.
Pounds Lost: 40
I've been married for 33 years and we have two sons - 21 and 25.
I joined the Fairlawn Curves the first day it opened up in
2003.
I was preparing to get in shape for a wedding which was one
year
away. I was wearing a size 18 at the time. I was
able to
lose 40 pounds and fit into a size 12 for the wedding.
Two of my sisters also joined Curves at different locations in
preparation for this wedding. They also were able to
achieve
their goals, as well as maintain them.
I've had approximately eight other family members join Curves
throughout the US. They all love it, and continue to benefit
from
this type of workout.
"Curves keeps me going every day".
Merry K
Pounds Lost: 30
Inches Lost: 30
My weight has been a problem since being a
teenager. And like many people I have yo-yoed with weight over my
lifetime. But in 2003, I had reached an all-time high. I
had NOT been exercising regularly for 2-3 years, and my eating habits
were terrible, to say the least. I had used the excuse of
"not
enough time". The real wake-up call came in January of 2004.
At that time my triglycerides had skyrocketed to nearly 600.
The doctor added another statin drug and advised me to cut
carbs.
After that visit, I went home and looked in the mirror.
I
decided I could either continue on a collision course towards diabetes,
heart disease, and joint problems, or I could live a longer and
healthier life by changing what I was doing. Is a cookie more
important than seeing my granddaughter graduate from high school?
Was food worth the devastation diabetes had caused my mother?
I decided it was not.
Curves has been a perfect workout for me. I saw the
commericials
on TV and also heard about some others who were members. The
30
minute workout was (is) perfect....because who doesn't have 30 minutes
three times a week? I liked the strength training part of the
circuit because so much is written about the importance of this for
women, especially post menopausal women. The staff has always
been friendly and helpful, and the friends I have made make the workout
30 minutes of fun. And I often see old friends too.
The
combination of Curves and a low carb diet has helped me lose 30 pounds
and 30 inches. I still have about ten pounds to go and want
to
keep it off forever. I intend to continue with Curves as long
as
I am walking around, taking in air!

Pounds Lost: 47
I read an article once about why people
overeat and I was all ten of the reasons, plus more! Now, I'm
feeling much better about myself. My top weight loss was 47
lbs.
I'm thankful to Curves for providing a welcoming and
encouraging
place to get into shape. Curves has helped me with strength,
flexibility, balance and endurance. I don't get out of breath
climbing stairs now! Working out has also helped a lot in
managing my struggle with depression. I did not need to use
my
special light last winter for treating SADD. When co-workers
and
family rave and ask me how I did it, the simple answer is -- "Diet and
CURVES!!
Trisha
S.
Pounds Lost: 20+
My name is Trisha and I live in Copley, where I am married and have two
children who are 17 and 15. I've been working out at Curves
for
almost one year now. I have always been a yoyo dieter and
exerciser since the age of 21, and my confidence level was a zero!
I have to say, Curves has changed my life in a lot of ways.
The
staff is fabulous and very supportive and the members are all
wonderful. It just amazes me how you can work out for half an
hour (not even realizing how fast a half an hour goes) for three days a
week and the inches will fall off.
I could have joined a gym or fitness center, but I am very grateful I
came across Curves! My life will never be the same.
I have
so much more energy and have lost over 19 inches and 20 some pounds and
I've gained a lot of wonderful friends.
This is the absolute best way to keep fit, and the Curves Challenge
Diet is worth a try. I lost 11 pounds on my first 6-Week
Challenge and have maintained.
Thank you everyone for being here to help me along and listening when I
need a shoulder to lean on. My confidence level isn't zero
anymore thanks to Curves. I've made a commitment and I'm
sticking
to it!
