Teri Finley
My name is Teri Finley. I started my new life journey
in May 2003. I lost a total of 84 pounds. I went from
a size 20 to an 8. I weighed 232 when I started and I
now weigh around 150. I used the protein sparing
modified fast for the first few months and then went
on to the exchange program. I think it was about 10
months before I had met my goal. The easiest part
for me was losing the weight. The hardest has been
maintaining. Although I have to say I have done well
with maintaining (now over a year). I was so tired of
waking up in the morning and the first thing I would
say to myself is "what fat clothes am I going to wear
today?" I hated that feeling. I love the energy that I
have now, the confidence, the clothes shopping
and not to mention how healthy I am now.

I continue to go to see Suzanne sometimes biweekly sometimes
monthly just to keep in line. I think that is one of the most important
things I have done after losing my weight - is to continue to come and
check in now and then. I think a lot of people think after they loose
their weight they can go back to their old unhealthy eating habits and
I think that' s why a lot of people gain back their weight.
A few helpful tips I have found useful is to plan a day of the week and
on that day that you cook and cut up vegetables and store them in
the fridge. That way if your in a hurry you can just grab a baggy of
veggies or protein, or fruit and go. Otherwise I think your more apt to
grab whatever is there and fast (which usually isn't the healthiest)
I truly look at food so differently now. I sometimes forget to eat when
I used to always be thinking about what the next thing I was going to
shove in my mouth. I "think" fruit - vegetables, protein and Fiber.
Just fuel to run my body. Just like gasoline to run a vehicle. I don't
live to eat anymore I eat to survive and be healthy -
Thank you for helping me change my life!
Sincerely,
Teri Finley
