"Curves Appreciation Day" Ladies, you will NOT find this holiday on any calendar. I consider it one of those personal, intimate celebrations that start unconsciously on my way to the Curves location on Riverdale Avenue. Since I usually walk there, I get the first inkling of it on gorgeous fall days when I appreciate the colors of the trees along the Henry Hudson Parkway. Even if the day is dreary, I get another opportunity for that feeling when I open the door and first hear the music that usually makes me look forward to moving around to it. Even if that fails to motivate me, I get it from the hello's and smile's from the staff and friendly members. So that no matter what my mood is when I walk in, I can honestly say that I am in a great one when I leave. How much I appreciate having Curves to belong to is hard to say. That may sound corny, but it is true. What is better than spending 30 minutes which will put someone in a great mood to start the day and improve health and physical well being at the same time? Not much else that doesn't require much more time and/or much more money! So, although I can't necessarily start a movement to make this a national holiday, I hope to continue celebrating it for years to come.

Cecile Biais is a young woman who lives in Berkshire, a county in southern England. Cecilia approached her thirties, an age considered by many women as the "ideal age", but she bought her clothes in shops reserved for large sizes. She wanted to lose weight at any price, but did not know how to get started. "The more I swelled, the more I was depressed ... I totally lost my confidence, both at work with my friends. " In just one year, Cecile literally melted. With a size 50-52, she now has a recognizable figure with a waist of 38. She lost over 30 kilos and 167 cm distributed throughout the body! She says she spent a challenging year, but "without Curves, I could not have done!" In addition to her phenomenal weight loss and greatly improved fitness, Cecile also sees life in a much more positive way. Today she has more confidence in herself and feels more "balanced". Her health has also greatly improved, her attitude is positive and style of living has improved, elements that have brought her closer to her family. According to Cecile, this Curves adventure has changed her life. "It's the best decision I ever made."

"The last time I was this thin, I was a teenager!"
BEFORE
AFTER
When Diane Jordan made the decision to join Curves in 2006, her morale was "at the bottom." His size 60 did not only affect her pride; she seriously endangered her life. 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." Thinking about her new figure and the changes it has brought to her every day life, Diane recalls: "The last time I was this thin, I was a teenager!". In addition to this, Diane told us that before joining Curves and begin this adventure, she had never owned a pair of jeans or a single dress. After losing nearly 32 kg, jeans and dresses have now become two essential elements of her new wardrobe.
