February 11, 2003 is the day that Irene Wanner changed her life. She was overweight at 230 pounds, had bad knees and was using a cane for support. Her doctor told her that she would have to lose some weight and get her blood pressure down before she could perform knee surgery. Her doctor gave her the name of a local diet clinic, but the thought of getting on yet another diet did not appeal to Irene. Then she remembered a friend telling her about Curves. She joined immediately! After three months she was losing weight and her knees began to feel a lot better. She continued to lose weight after she joined the Six Week Solution Class. It has been four years since Irene never did have to have that knee surgery. In fact, she hung up her cane for good!

Sherrie Frontz claimed that before Curves, she was a couch potato that never left the house. She had no energy and felt bad all the time. In March of 2005, Sherrie began working out at Curves three times a week and following the Six Week Solution plan. The weight began dropping off and her energy level started rising. Her quality of life has also improved both mentally and physically. She no longer suffers from the migraines that plagued her for the majority of her life, her blood pressure is the lowest it has ever been and her cholesterol dropped to normal. Sherri says, "I have so much energy I look for things to do! I have added walking to my Curves program and I feel good! I have tried to lose weight before, but nothing worked until Curves."

Angela Roser had struggled with her weight her entire adolescence. However, it wasn't until after she made the decision to quit smoking that she hit her all-time high weight of 352 pounds. Her self esteem was shot, she hated shopping for clothes and she became uncomfortable in most public situations. Her weight was also causing her to get migraines that were so unbearable she would frequently have to miss work. Then a turning point came when Angela’s mother gave her a one month trial membership to Curves. She joined Curves in Delmar, Maryland in June 2004. According to Angela, this was the best thing that ever happened to her. She successfully lost 130 pounds and about 94 inches hasn't had a migraine in months. Angela says, "I’m in better shape today than I have been in years.” I have added years to my life with the weight that I have lost and I don’t plan on stopping there."
