About me
I'm Teri and I am 54 years old. I have been fighting my weight since I was fourteen, dieting my way all the way up to 236 lbs. I started my weight loss program on March 3, 2008, and at that time I was unable to get into the largest pair of jeans I owned, size 18W. I have lost close to 100 pounds, and I now wear a size 4 jeans. My diet and exercise program have me feeling better than I could have ever imagined and I did it without starving or depriving myself in any way.
I am getting myself into better shape and my goal of becoming fit and healthy is getting closer every day.
Here's a link to my Progress Photos.

BEWARE: Addictive Candy!
These things are absolutely addicting! Best (chocolate) candy I've had in a long time. And I don't even like chocolate candy all that much...
The coconut oil (don't use the unscented kind!) lends a fantastic coconut aroma to these sinful little goodies.
The only problem is: do I stick to the diet, or eat a pound of them?
