Hooray for me! I have finished Curves Complete! It has given me a new perspective, new healthy habits and a new body I had only ever dreamed of!! I had two key phrases throughout this whole process. The first was "I AM worth it!" When things got tough or I really wanted to slack off, or give in to those old un-healthy habits, this got me through. And when the siren song of the chocolate box was singing to me my other phrase was "Is this really worth it?" and often I could say "No because I AM worth it!" I did not let a weak moment sabotage all my hard work!! It was hard work, but so worth it! I have lost 15 lbs, and 7.5 inches, and 3% body fat!! We were asked to set goals through this whole process and I had to keep re-setting mine! Initially I was sort of sceptical, would this work for me? I have never been "thin", and my body image has never been great. I have always been the chubby second fiddle. Well now, look out! I am wearing a size that I had only hoped for in my wildest dreams. I am NOT "thin". I am lean, toned and healthy! I have not "gone on a diet", I have just completed the first stage of educating myself to STAY trim, toned and healthy for a lifetime! Curves Complete is not an end in itself, but a doorway to a lifetime of having the body I have only dreamt of, the health I need and the positive attitude toward myself that I deserve. I am now ONE SVELTE MAMA! I did it because I AM WORTH IT!...and so are you!

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!

As a long time member of Curves, I found myself in an exercise rut. It seemed that I was getting nowhere with my workouts and teh healthy eating habits which the staff at Curves always emphasized. Even with their upbeat attitude and encouragement, I just could not manifest any kind of motivation to make my exercise regime more exciting. My workouts were becoming very boring and it was a chore for me to workout a measly three times a week. Then came Curves Smart. WOW! What a difference it made in my attitude toward exercising. The Curves Smart machines monitor each workout much like a personal trainer. At the end of a workout I am able to access my information on the computer. The information indicates the intensity of my workout, my strengths, and weaknesses on each machine, how many calories I burned and various other important factors. Having this information available to me at the end of every workout has provided me with an incentive to do better each time I workout and to workout more often. With the Curves Smart regime I have become addicted to working out! There are several different exercise programs with the Curves Smart system. The experienced staff at Curves will help you determine which one is more suited to your lifestyle. I began with Fit & Trim, after one month on that program I felt that I was working hard but wasn't achieving the results I thought I should be because I only lost a single pound. I was a bit discouraged at this point so the very knowledgeable Curves staff suggested that I transfer to the Endurance program at the beginner's level. Now after losing 7lbs and 2.5 in just one month on the Endurance program, which I might add enabled me to fit into my clothes that have been hanging in my closet for three years, I find myself just loving it! It is simply amazing how the Curves Smart regime changed my attitude toward exercising and made me feel, as I always say at the end of each workout when asked, "ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!" Try it. you'll love it!
