From a Livermore Curves Member: October 2006
After
My name is Lori Hoffman. In July of 2005, my doctor informed me that my blood sugar was too high and that I was a borderline diabetic. I realized that I was in big trouble and that I needed to gain control of my health immediately. There were too many strikes against me. I was already on medication for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. In addition, there was heart disease in my family history. My father died of a heart attack at 56 and my mother died at 59 one month after undergoing a triple heart bypass, her aorta ruptured.
In July of 2005, I weighed 248 pounds and wore a size 20. I started my journey with step aerobics at home and by also using portion control, which meant eating only half of the food I would normally put on my plate, and never eating after dinner.
I wanted to achieve some weight loss before I began to exercise in public. Exercising was hard for me, I did not like it one bit. But I knew that if I wanted to be around for my family, I had to get healthy. So I began my journey one day at a time.
Before
By October of 2005, I weighed 218 pounds. Yes, I had lost 30 pounds Yahoo! I was ready to work harder and began to look into joining a health club.
In October of 2005, I visited the Curves in Livermore, Ca, to see what they had to offer. I liked that it was a 30 minute workout, you were weighed and measured each month and the club was for women only. It was then that I decided that Curves was the place I wanted to continue my journey.
I have been a member of Curves for one year now. The wonderful staff provides me encouragement each and every visit. I have been able to lose weight and inches each and every month.
With the wonderful support and encouragement from my family, friends and the staff at Curves, today I weigh 146.5 pounds and wear a size 6. In total since starting my journey, I have lost 101.5 pounds and over 70 inches. I am no longer on any medications for high blood pressure or high cholesterol. My blood sugar is also back to normal and I FEEL GREAT!
Thank you Curves for saving my life!
From a Livermore Curves Member: January, 2005
Dear Curves,
Since May of 2003 I have visited you more than any other friend or family member! You have become a second home for me 3-4 times each week.
Before I joined Curves I had NEVER been a person who would exercise. I was a 50 year old woman who had trouble getting off the couch because of excess weight and a rapidly aging body. If I did any physical activity at all I would huff and puff and almost immediately break into a sweat. One of my little students asked me why my face and hair had drips!
My most depressing symptom of my poor physical shape was my sore feet. For several years I had increasing pain in the soles and heels of my feet. The doctor had diagnosed plantar fasciitis but I think it was EXCESS WEIGHT for 50 years!!!!! It had gotten to the point where I would put myself to bed as early as 8:00 in the evening because I couldn't walk another step. I felt my heels had become swollen, painful enemies.
Then I met Curves. Even though I could hardly get in and out of the machines, even though I sweat just looking at them, I began to go to Curves 3 times a week - FAITHFULLY! What a thrill and surprise it was to finally move my body in healthful ways. I was instantly hooked on an exercise program and no one was more amazed than me!
Almost immediately I felt better. I felt stronger. I could carry a grandbaby up and down the staircase confidently. My legs worked! I could feel muscles in my abdomen. My shoulders and arms became strong. I could lift, move, and work with confidence in my body. I stopped sweating just putting on my shoes!
The most amazing change didn't occur until August, 2004. I decided to take a chance and see if the Curves diet could work for me. I began to take Curves Complete vitamins and their supplement for joints. By mid September I realized the most amazing thing of all - MY FEET STOPPED HURTING!
Yes, I had gradually lost some weight over the previous year and three months but to have my feet suddenly become pain free was truly astounding to me. They have not flared up again since I began those supplements and that diet.
Have I failed at the dieting? Well I have lost a total of 20 pounds since August but I also put some on and off again over the holidays. My new best friend has assured me I am not a failure. I was able to continue my healthy eating changes over January and am losing again. The confidence I feel in myself is brand new. I will never stop improving my body and my image. WOW! That's a gigantic change for this woman. I thank Curves, my new friend, for these positively delightful new feelings for me.
Love, Linda Ross
