| Fran Spivak filled her days dreaming “what if.” What could her life be “if” she lost weight, “if” she wore normal-size clothes, “if” she could walk 10 feet without getting winded. Not long after stomach-stapling surgery, she found herself regaining and nearing 325 of her original 530 pounds. She thought she would have to take drastic action. Happily, Curves required only discipline induced by the wisdom, warmth, and camaraderie its program offered. In less than a year at Curves, Fran worked off more than 100 pounds. By becoming such a big loser, she’s become an even bigger winner. |

| 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. |

| 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! |
