Shanda Boes has always been happy and popular. Her weight never held her back or so she thought. Of course, as a kid she envied her skinny friends who could pack away the burgers and fries and never gain an ounce. But since puberty it seemed that being overweight was her destiny. As an adult and the co-owner of a hair salon, she saw her two coworkers struggle with weight, too. But they wanted to make sure their friendship and partnership remained healthy, in every respect. So they got Shanda to join them at Curves. At first, Shanda says she was skeptical that just 30 minutes of any exercise could do anything. However, once she noticed that she was losing an average of 8-12 pounds a month, she was hooked!

| Responding to all of the “Honey-dos” and “Mommy-do’s” of her husband of 19 years and their three children, Patricia McCoy was a tireless homemaker. Establishing a business to help other moms meet their household needs, she was extremely busy. But she was not fulfilled. And despite all of the activity in her life, she was unable to lose the pounds she had gained over the years. None of her attempts to lose the weight – to health clubs to a personal trainer to a treadmill in her own home – have worked. Until Now |

Kimberly Luzier
“If I can do this, I can do anything!”
Weight Loss: 120

| When Kimberly Luzier’s father died, the loss took its toll. She lived on chips and soda, slept 10 hours a day, struggled to turn over in bed, and spent Saturday nights at the computer. “I was an emotional wreck,” she says. Finally, photos triggered a desire to change. Weighing 316 pounds and just plain “fed up,” she walked into Curves. Scared at first, she “just kept going” and believes her father helped her. Today, at 24 Kimberly’s lost 120 pounds and is happy, energetic, and social. Saturday nights are spent with her boyfriend. |
