Personal Info
How I Started
A lot of people said I should not put my age on here, but I am proud of my age.
Society tends to shame women for being older and to me that idea of discrimination is a "shame."
I am a strong woman. Life made me this way. I love the way the gym makes me feel.
I began working out and lifting weights when I was 45 years old to lose weight. In the first two years I lost 43 pounds and 45 inches all over my body. Everyone who said I 'couldn't do it or stick with it." couldn't believe my transformation.
Eight years later, I was featured in bodybuilding.com's OVER 40'S TRANSFORMATIONS.
I am all natural and the real deal. Nothing fake about me. If telling my story motivates ONE PERSON into making a change to be FIT for life, then that alone motivates me to continue to be all I can be for myself and testimony of what hard work can do.
It only gets better! Don't let someone else dictate how you should look as a woman over 60 and beyond!
I am living proof a person with no prior experience in training can transform their body and maintain the results without supplements, without harsh dieting, and all natural!

2016 I leaned out to 124 my leanest ever, but I do not like being that lean! 2017 was all about lifting heavy weights and putting weight/muscle on; 2018 was my 13th year to train.I actually took several weeks off to reset my body. Going to trim out the muscle I've gained and keep loving the skin I am in remembering to TRUST MYSELF. I still love what I do and do what I love! And it is now 2023.....
Why I Love it
Weight training and fitness changed my life. It motivates me, keeps me youthful, energizes me, makes me feel better about myself. I am a control freak and the gym gives me all control. I train hard and love what I do. I do it for the results and most of all it is a gift I give myself and it gives back to my family. Fitness is a way of life and is lifestyle for some. I am in that group.

B.B.com has been the only site I've stuck with, been here since 2008.
My husband and I have been married 37 years. We have an 80 acre tree farm in
Deep East Texas. There is no greater wealth in life than health. We strive daily to be all we can be.
We have a home gym that we built before our house lol. We believe age is a number and the longevity of life begins within...with and in the mind. I wish everyone a love like ours. It is deeply rooted and we are truly soulmates.
I love life and have never been afraid to be anyone but ME!
I dance to a different beat, drive in the wrong lane, play in the left field, and if the shoe fits...
I wear it MY OWN WAY!
I do not have time for drama in my life, so if you are looking for drama, look somewhere else.
I love body building, body art, and people who aren't afraid to SHINE SHINE SHINE. I like happy optimistic people!
There are no substitutes to a winning attitude.
I am a winner and if I could give everyone one gift, I would give them ENTHUSIAM and then get out of their way!
Life is for LIVING and I prefer to live mine in style sitting on READY and locked on GO!
By the way, I'm Teri LaFaye.
All aboard my smile train!
Have a blessed day!
