Hello Rodger, my name is Terri aka Terlyn.
I have learned about you through crickadoodle at our church. I attended her Sunday night class (2/21/10) about you, your book and how your meal plan works. Rodger can I tell you one thing, if this plan can get me to look like crickadoodle, you have a determined LDLer here. She looks amazing, crickadoodle and I are the same height 5'7 and she weigh the same as I did when I was in high school. She is a fantastic teacher of your meal plan and very knowledgeable how this meal plan works.
My problem started three years ago, when I got hurt as a security guard. I have nerve damage in my left hip and now have a spinal cord simulator in my back to help deal with pain management.
Up until now I have lead a very active life, raised 4 kids, on a 200 head cattle ranch here in South Louisiana, rodeo and horse shows was our lifestyle. Photographed for our local new paper and was the only woman rodeo photographer in the south. I plan on writing a book one day called Cows, Kids and Camera's, the story of my life..lol. I also have worked at an Elk ranch in Colorado, on a horse all day taking guest on mountain trail rides, that was my dream job. And that were I was for 911 the day after my birthday 9/10, funny how we will never forget where we were on that awful day. I've work night sift security in hospitals, casino's because of my extreme night owl ways of life..lol. Also ways volunteering to help with Red Cross and other Organization after disasters.
As you see I've been very active in my life, and now I'm weigh close to 275, and can't exercise like I would too, and it devastating to me to be this way. But now I think I can see a ray of sunshine at the end of this long journey I'm begining under crickadoodles wing.

I have 9 grandchildren to look forward having fun with in life, I need to get my life back.
