Kathy Prough:

To the Wonderful Folks at Curves,

I want to thank all of you for helping to make my lifelong dream come true. I have always dreamed of dancing with the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall. Last winter my tap dancing class organized a trip to New York City to take part in the Rockette Experience. At well over 260 pounds, I feared that I would not be able to participate. I immediately began a weight loss program and lost 30 pounds, but I knew that I needed to increase my muscle tone, energy level, and stamina in order to enjoy the experience. My tap teacher, a Curves member, recommended your program, so I joined. I worked out 3 or 4 days each week and lost another 22 pounds. The friendly and welcoming staff made me feel comfortable, encouraged me, and kept me coming back. Recently, I made that trip to N.Y.C. and danced with the Rockettes. There is no way that I could have survived the 4 hour adventure if I hadn't joined Curves last April. Thanks so much for helping to make my dream come true!!

Tnoi Jurs:

Since joining Curves one year ago, I have become a new person. Not only has losing over 54 pounds and 49 inches made me a healthier person, but also a happier one. I have tried several diets in my life and exercise programs but nothing has helped me like Curves. The staff has helped me through some rough times where I thought I would give up but with their help I am still losing and still winning!! I am no longer a couch potato but an energetic woman who can now play with her grandchildren and not get tired.

Thanks Tammy and your Team for all your help!!!

Denise:

Hi, my name is Denise. I have been a member of the Woodstock Curves for 4 months. It is a fun and very lively place to workout. They know your name and always greet you with a smile when you come in. It only takes 30 minutes and you get a complete workout. So far I have lost over 25 pounds and 25 inches. Everyone is so encouraging, you do not want to quit. Do yourself a favor and find 30 minutes in your day for a great experience.

Connie Allen:

A few months ago, I decided I was done being fat! I changed my eating habits, began walking regularly, and joined Curves. I quickly discovered that Curves works! Since joining Curves, I have lost 40.25 inches, 39 pounds, and 28.93# body fat! Best of all, I enjoy my workouts! Sometimes I go to Curves just to improve my mood! It's fun, healthy, and the staff is supportive and enthusiastic.

UPDATE: CONNIE HAS NOW LOST 45.75", 49.5 pounds, AND 37.86% BODY FAT!! GO CONNIE!!!!

Donna Milford:

When I joined Curves 11 months ago, I was a size 22W. I had no energy, ached all over, couldn't raise my arms above my head or even fasten my bra. Now, I'm wearing a size 16 in jeans, and I literally can run up and down my stairs without even realizing it. I feel 10 years younger. I love it when I hear people say to me, "You look great!" and ask, "What have you been doing?". Curves has changed my life. The program is easy to follow and so much fun. I've also met so many wonderful women who share a common goal: to look better and feel better. What a blessing! Thanks Curves!!

JOY BATCHELOR:

In October 2002 I had an emergency hysterectomy. This surgery destroyed what little bit of stomache muscles I had. For the next 6-9 months I was so exhausted that I could barely move. Some friends of mine out of state were talking about how great Curves is and how well they are doing and how easy it is to do so one day I called, made the appt and joined. I've been coming regularly ever since.

This spring I went hiking at Amicola Falls. Normally I would walk around at the top of the falls. This time I was able to walk down over 400 stairs and then back up without passing out. A few weeks ago I was able to hike up Stone Mountain. At our team challenge at work this year I actually participated because I was in shape. Most years I'm just a volunteer so I don't have to go running and jumping and stuff. It was great fun. I have so much more freedom, energy and independence now. Thanks Tammy and your staff for helping me be successful!

DAWN PAULSON:

Dawn Paulson was our Woodstock 2004 Curves Sweetheart. She has lost over 36 inches and 23 pounds and 26.9 in body fat pounts.

Here is her testimony:

I have been a member at the Curves in Woodstock since July of 2003. When I joined Curves, I was very depressed and upset about how out of shape and out of control my body had become. I was not quite positive that Curves was the place for me because I couldn't believe that something so simple couldwork. However, after only a couple of months I noticed an inch loss of 7, and after a year an inch lossof 25.5 inches and 17.5 pounds!! The women at Curves are like my sisters, and I look forward to every visit, just to have the fellowship and encouragement that I need to continue my journey.
