CURVES is a big deal here in Vegas where hesalth clubs, spas and gyms are in abundance. They are everywhere, hoqwever they are filled with these spandex wearing, stick people that think they're fat, haha!!I laugh and cough, ick, yuk. I put on my sweat suit and walked into an exercise class in one of the popular gyms about a year ago. I walked in, took a look around me, and walkedback out. Thank God, for Curves. All thwe womwn there look like me, sweat suits and all. Dotsie one year ago (I'm ashamed to admit this but) I weighed in at 353 lbs. Today by watching my food intake and going to Curves I am 210 lbs. Still over weight for my 5ft, 5 frame. I need to lose another 100 or so lbs. I have no reason to think I won't. Curves are women like all of us and they are so helpful and happy when we reach our next goal. I am so happy to have found CURVES. I bought the 2 books he has out called Curves, the power to amaze yourself and also Curves on the go. Both by Gary Heavin the founder & CEO. I like the on the go one. Good luck Dotsie...With summer coming I will be out walking and on my bike again and expect to lose it all this year.
