I didn’t sleep, I had very little self-worth, and I didn’t even want to go out because I was overweight. I finally decided to change my habits and tried different gyms and ways to eat, but it seemed like nothing worked. My fiance encouraged me to join a gym like Curves, but I had my doubts that it would work since nothing else had. The perception in my mind was that Curves was only for old ladies, and I was only 23! I joined Curves in July 2007 and have changed my whole outlook on my health and my self-esteem. I have more energy, and my sleep patterns are more established than they have been in many years. I know it is crazy, but I am one of those people that actually likes exercise now. I usually go to Curves five times a week! My body is 41 pounds lighter, and my heart and mind are as well! What a difference Curves had made in my life and I encourage others to try it too!

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."
