When 19-year-old Kelly Brandon's doctor warned that she was headed down the same road toward diabetes as her father, it got her attention. Her father was blind in his right eye from the disease and he wasn't even 50. So Kelly started working out at Curves and following the Permanent Results Without Permanent Dieting plan. "I found that I can conquer anything!" says a gleeful Kelly, who is 130 pounds lighter and still diabetes-free. "All of my life I was just the fat girl. Now, for the first time, I' m Kelly."

“Without the help of Curves, I believe I would have remained miserable with myself. I have found a part of myself that I had been missing for more than half of my lifetime.”

When Patti Collins' doctor told her 16 months ago that her weight had triggered diabetes, she joined Curves and attended the Permanent Results Without Permanent Dieting weight-loss class. Besides stopping the diabetes in its tracks, " I found out who I was at Curves," says the now-svelte Texan. " I found out that I' m strong, self-controlled, not afraid to try new things, and not afraid to stand up for what I believe in. I also lost 102 pounds," she chuckles. " But that was just and added benefit."

“The overwhelming feeling of achievement was astonishing. I felt like Cinderella must have felt at her ball.”

After walking out on an office Christmas dinner because, at 366 pounds, she couldn’t fit behind the table, a determined Debbie Bishop-Lane walked into her local Curves, which she had joined a month before. A year later, she was 179 pounds lighter. And as she dressed for that year’s Christmas party, her youngest daughter put her arms around her mom, told her how much she loved her, and how beautiful she was. “The overwhelming feeling of achievement was astonishing,” Debbie says. “I felt like Cinderella must have felt at her ball.”
