What Curves is all about, an interview with Renee Bebee:

Question: How did you get involved in Curves?

Answer: One day I was sitting on my couch hating the person I had let myself become. I knew that I needed to lose weight and get healthier. I knew that if I wanted to see something different in the mirror I would have to do something about it. Sitting on the couch wasn’t getting me anywhere I wanted to go. I didn’t want to go to a place where I’d be judged. I needed a comfortable and safe place. A friend of mine had told me about Curves. That afternoon I called a local Curves and joined. Within the first couple months I lost 20 pounds, 32 inches and 2% body fat. I was instantly hooked!

Question: What made you open a Curves in Lamar?

Answer: I love Curves, it works! I vowed I would never move to a town that didn’t have a Curves. In March of 2008 I got married and moved to Lamar, which didn’t have a Curves. I knew a lot of women in Lamar were like me, needing a safe, comfortable and supportive place to help them reach their fitness goals. I wanted to see the lives of other women be strengthened.

Question: When did Curves of Lamar open?

Answer: Opening day was October 21, 2008.
