That is what I say whenever my training partner doesn’t count my reps right. I will admit that I have a problem with counting my reps right sometimes too. In fact, the saying came from one of the shining stars of my venture into training. I was counting her reps and I miscounted. With a passion and perhaps a bit of anger she said “Don’t cheat me!”

Ha! You have to love it. Her name is Terry…that’s right get ready for a profile!

Have you ever seen that TLC show 10 years younger?

Basically they find someone, stick them in a box, and ask people to rate how old they are. Then they go and get face peels, dental teeth whitening and a hair cut, get back in the box and rate their age again. For the most part they really blowup the old age so that the new age seems like this shock of amazement. Not that it is bad, just saying the program is 100% TV.

Well this isn’t TV. This is Terry’s Box!

Terry has made a massive transformation and has lost 55 pounds and gained a nice amount of LBM with that loss. She isn’t even the same person anymore, and she isn’t even stopping, she is still going! She didn’t have surgery. Truth be told, her teeth are pretty nice so no whitening needed. She earned and worked her butt off for every bit of it, over time, and with patience.

What does it take to achieve that?

It takes strength, drive, intelligence, and accountability for ones actions. She is the kind of woman that inspires it in others as well as she is not the only one affected by the change in her life.

The thing that I really love about Terry is that she did it for the love of herself and the love of her family. It wasn’t anything dramatic, nothing tragic occurred, she just wanted to improve her life, herself, and her well-being. She just wanted to be there for her family, and I am glad because the world can use people like her in droves and I am lucky to know her.

Congratulations Terry, you really do look 10 years younger!
