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."
