  • In Dec 2004 I stopped by Curves just to check out what it had to offer on my lunch hour. I was dealing with depression at the time due to a sudden loss of my father Sept 2003 and than after a 3 month battle with cancer in Jan 2004 I lost my sister at the age of 42.

    I had received a Free Avon Pass and was asked to join with a friend for several months. I felt I could not affort to pay for exercise since I have all the equipment at home that I could be using and it never gets touched. I was on medication for depression and wanted to get off of it. The doctor was after me to exercise and I would not. I had been on many programs for weight loss and was very faithful at exercising before. I just did not care anymore due to the depression.

    I was greeted by the friendly staff member and she was so understanding. I decided I had nothing to lose with a free month trial. After several workouts and the friendly people you got to meet and workout with I felt I had to do this for myself. I couldn't afford not to give it a try. So I did join for a year.

    Several weeks later I had a visit to the eye doctor who questioned me on having high cholesterol. I said I never had any problems. He asked me to get it checked. Well he was right my cholesterol was 211 and the doctor said I had to get it down. I let her know I had just joined Curves and I would keep up with the exercise 3 times a week and try to improve my diet. After 3 months it was 214 and the doctor was sure it was hereditary and I needed to start taking medication. I was not in agreement and I wanted 3 more months to see what happens.

    I had started to take all the classes and info bites that were being offered through Curves and I was learning a lot. I highly recommend these classes for anyone who is looking for more knowledge in nutrition and its FREE. I also started to take Cholest Eze, Stress Eze, Flaxseed Oil Capsules as well as the liquid daily vitamin which are all Curves supplements.

    After 3 more months on the the supplements and exercising at Curves 3 times a week and applying the nutritional information that I was learning my cholesterol was 178. Praise the Lord. I just want to thank everyone for all the help and support they offered to me through sharing as we worked out and attending all the info classes that were offered. It is great to understand how the body functions or doesn't with what we put into it and how we cope with situations and circumstances that we deal with daily. (Stress, etc)

When Diane Jordan made the decision to join Curves in 2006, her morale was "at the bottom." His size 60 did not only affect her pride; she seriously endangered her life. She had all the risks of developing hypertensive disorders, diabetes or suffering a stroke, among other serious health problems. At Curves, Diane learned that some small changes could make all the difference. Encouraged by the staff of Curves and the 30 minute workout three times a week, she began to drink water every day and eat smaller healthier food portions. She also began eating more fruits and vegetables. In just two years, Diane's efforts have paid off. She has now lost nearly 32 kilograms and wears size 14 dresses! She is proud of her efforts and said, thinking of her debut at Curves, "Since that time, I built a new life and I now have more confidence in myself and my body." Thinking about her new figure and the changes it has brought to her every day life, Diane recalls: "The last time I was this thin, I was a teenager!". In addition to this, Diane told us that before joining Curves and begin this adventure, she had never owned a pair of jeans or a single dress. After losing nearly 32 kg, jeans and dresses have now become two essential elements of her new wardrobe.
