Kerri's Success Story
"What More Could a Girl Want!"

I started Curves on June 18, 2003. I was at a stage where I was progressively putting on weight. I loved fast food, and never seemed to have energy. Then I was diagnosed with Patello-Femoral Syndrome, which basically means that my knee caps don't sit straight. Carrying excess weight around was not helping. Because of my lack of energy, exercise was not something I had really thought about. I knew I was supposed to exercise, I just couldn't find any I enjoyed and wondered how I could fit it into my schedule. I had started to see advertisements for Curves on television, so when my husband and I saw the Curves booth at a local Art & Wine festival, I signed on to take a look.

Right away I liked the "process" of Curves: a set of machines, a set amount of time, someone telling you when to move to the next machine and loud, fun music. The people are lovely and the service is great. What more could a girl want! I also like the addition of information and classes on other areas of health and fitness.

As I was not one to exercise at all, Curves has been a life changing experience. Working out at Curves has given me the confidence to look at other health issues in my life. I have a number of allergies, and in January this year I started going to a nutritionist. Changing my diet has helped with my energy levels and weight loss. I love that I have more energy and that I want to go out each day for at least a 30 minute walk. My knees are doing great. Most of all I like that I now have more variety and selection in the stores where I can shop for clothes! When I started Curves I was a size 22/24. I have currently lost 50.5 inches and 38 pounds, and am now a size 18. My current goal is to become less then 200 pounds, and at 207 pounds I am nearly there!

I still look forward to going to Curves . It has become a very important part of my life. The support I get from the staff and other members is wonderful. Most of all, I love the comments on how great I look from my family and friends. I am smaller, I am more toned, and I love the way I feel. I thoroughly recommend trying Curves to everybody.
