Wearing a size 50, Jean Kinsella's clothing did not reflect her real age. She never imagined that only 18 months later she would buy dresses five sizes smaller. Jean decided to join Curves when she was tired of worrying about her appearance and health. Without knowing what to expect, she was surprised to discover how much she enjoyed her 30 minutes of training three times a week, but also how quickly she had taken up the challenge to improve her fitness. As she describes herself: "It was not the end of the world!" As Jean began to lose weight, her body strengthened. "I have more confidence in myself, I feel younger and have much more energy!" These visible changes have also encouraged Jean to adopt a healthier diet. "I replaced coffee with water and I always try to choose healthier meals. When we asked Jean how her adventure at Curves has changed her life and improved both her health and fitness, she says the benefits have been enormous. "I'm still in good shape and a much better mood!" she confessed. For her, the decision was "the best thing I did for myself for years."

Bridget Schmidt had struggled with her weight her whole life, but when she hit 255 pounds at only nineteen years of age she realized that she had to change her lifestyle. That’s when she discovered Curves and began our workout and weight loss program. After a short while she noticed the pounds starting to melt away! Bridget says, "Losing the weight was a long process and sometimes I felt like giving up, but the amazing support I received from my family and my local Curves kept me going.” According to Bridget, every time she worked out her fellow Curves members would tell her how great she looked and cheered her on. She was even nicknamed the “poster woman” at her Curves for her great success at the weight loss program. Her newly found self-assurance has lead her to pursue a career in nursing, which she says she would have never attempted at her past weight or mindset.

Sherrie Frontz claimed that before Curves, she was a couch potato that never left the house. She had no energy and felt bad all the time. In March of 2005, Sherrie began working out at Curves three times a week and following the Six Week Solution plan. The weight began dropping off and her energy level started rising. Her quality of life has also improved both mentally and physically. She no longer suffers from the migraines that plagued her for the majority of her life, her blood pressure is the lowest it has ever been and her cholesterol dropped to normal. Sherri says, "I have so much energy I look for things to do! I have added walking to my Curves program and I feel good! I have tried to lose weight before, but nothing worked until Curves."
