I was introduced to Curves by a friend. She gave me a pass for a free month. I went and the great staff at the Atwater branch got me started. My husband was not convinced after looking at the equipment, but we sat down with the manager and she had him work 2 machines and that convinced him to urge me to continue. Well, then I saw the light and joined up. I have bought the weight management books, taken all the vitamins and supplements and walk 5 miles three times a week. I have earned the biggest looser award three times and 2nd place twice. I am on fire I love curves and have lost 146 pounds in 13 months. Thank-You Curves, You Have Saved My Life! Also Thank-You to all of my family and friends who have been supporting me through my journey. "

Just before I got pregnant with my two daughters I had trouble keeping my weight under control. I never believed in the diet yoyo and after my children were born it was further proof I needed to do something about it. Not feeling like I had any time for exercise because I was a stay at home mother and wife I just believed I could not do it alone by chasing around my toddlers. Finally realizing this was not going to be enough and already having trouble with food portions I knew a decision regarding this problem had to be made. So I decided I would check into what Curves has to offer. I knew the very first day I stepped foot into the Atwater Curves that this was the place for me. For me, Curves has been the solution to my weight loss and exercise regimen.
