The life of Heather Davies was transformed one day in August 2004, when she lost her only son, Carlton, 32, of cancer. Devastated by the loss of her beloved son, she sank into a long depression the following year. She even ends up "thinking that life was not worth living". At 108 kg, her weight had consequences for both her mood and health. Heather describes times when she "looked in the mirror and hating what she saw and what she felt." Over time, she realized that her son would not want to see her like this "I realized that Carlton would have been angry if he saw me so depressed and so unhappy." Heather decided to join a club to lose weight, but she soon realized that diet alone is not sufficient: "I had to strengthen my body so I wouldn't find myself with a surplus of skin." After some research, she decided that Curves was the best choice to help achieve her goal. She became a member, accompanied by her sister, and never looked back: "From the beginning, we loved every minute we spent at Curves!". Heather has also made new friends. In their group, they "always manage to have fun while doing their exercise". From the day she decided to join Curves, Heather has lost 44 kgs! Curves has helped her to "enjoy life again and feel I could do anything I wanted." Before joining Curves, she spent more than 20 years taking pills for her blood pressure. Today, she no longer needs to take medication. Surgery scheduled for an old knee problem has also been reversed by Heather due to muscle strengthening exercises done in the Curves program.
