Keeping track of your progress and receiving feedback and support from Curves staff and fellow challengers increases the chances you have of making your resolutions a reality,” adds Zau. “We are really excited to offer the revolutionary Curves weight management program to all women, not just Curves members,” said Curves founder and CEO Gary Heavin. “The classes provide the support and structure most women need to help them lose weight and keep it off. We’re with you every step of the way.” The 2007 San Diego Slim Down challenge is a six-week weight management program based on the Curves 6 Week Solution. Participants engage in six weeks of small, intimate classes and learn how to lose weight and keep it off for good. The Curves weight management program is based on a groundbreaking, scientifically proven method to raise metabolic rate and end the need for perpetual dieting. The Curves 6 Week Solution naturally speeds up metabolism, offers a wide variety of food choices, and recommends a meal plan that satisfies hunger. The Curves fitness and weight-loss program has been rigorously tested by scientists at Baylor University, analyzing its effects on hundreds of women. Women on the Curves plan have lost weight, boosted their metabolism, lost body fat, gained muscle and enjoyed several other health benefits.
