Hi my name is Terry.

My journey started in 2018 when I was 265 pounds and decided that something had to change. I started eating less and walking and by October 2018 I was down to 227 pounds. That is when I stopped tracking what I ate and stopped using this program. By the end of 2019 I had gained back 20 pounds and then in 2020, COVID hit and I was no longer allowed to go to work and had to work from home for the 1st time in my career.
Being so close to my fridge and pantry, being lock up and unable to go anywhere are a deadly combination and the 38 pounds that I had lost came back pretty quick. Then in late 2020 I had two deaths in the family, my granddaughter was born 6 weeks premature and I had someone very close to me charged with a crime and sent to jail. My relief in all of this was to continue to stay hidden in my home and the 38 pounds that I put back on turned in another 35 pounds so that by February 1, 2023 I was now at 300 pounds, Pre-diabetic, taking cholesterol pills, enlarged prostate, high blood pressure bills and recently learned that I have Osteoarthritis in my lower back.
Things needed to change and I started with Intermittent Fasting and a diet that consists mainly of meat.
My goal is to be down to 180 pounds by January 31, 2024.
