Linda knew she had gained weight but was not sure how much until she stepped on the scale at Curves of Brownsville on August 29, 2005. She weighed 248 lbs. and that day made a change. "I was determined to eat healthy and exercise to get fit," says Linda. One year later, she had lost 95 lbs. and 81 inches. She went from a size 22W in jeans to a size 8/10. Linda is a great motivator for all the ladies at Curves of Brownsville! We are very proud of her.

Nadine knew she needed to lose weight. She was an insulin-dependent diabetic and had high blood pressure. Nadine was determined to do something about her weight because she was very uncomfortable, realized how unhealthy she was,and began having chest pains. "I had checked into gastric bypass surgery," says Nadine. However, after hearing horrible stories about the surgery, she realized it was not for her. One day while watching TV, Nadine saw a commercial for Curves! She called & set an appointment for the next day, and she joined that day! After losing her first 2 pounds & regaining it the following month, Nadine knew she must change her eating habits. The weight & inches began coming off, and she has lost a total of 91 pounds & inches! Way to go, Nadine! You are awesome!
