Why did you decide to start a training and nutrition program with Teri?
(include: how did you felt when you first came to me and what made you decide to take action) I had lost about 60 lbs on another program, but got stuck there, and was still overweight. Then I got discouraged about getting stuck and began gaining some back. When I had gained 20 lbs back, I knew I needed help. I would not let myself get back to the weight I started at. I've known Teri for several years, and was getting her video newsletters. I knew she was getting results for others. I really came to her for the nutrition part of it. The training was icing on the cake for me as I enjoy exercise. I needed accountability for my diet, and I also needed the knowledge of what and when to eat so my body would function at it's best.
What was the most rewarding part of the experience? Watching my body change and knowing I have the knowledge and power to keep it that way.
How would you describe your training and what did you learn?
The training is not easy. I've worked very hard and stayed focused. On the other hand, it's not impossible either. When I made the decision to work with Teri, I also made the decision to work at it to the best of my ability and not give up. I could tell after just a couple weeks that this was going to work for me, which made staying focused easier.
If someone asked you about starting a training and nutrition program with Teri, what would you say to them? If you are ready and determined to make it work, then do it now. If you listen to her, do what she says, and work hard at it, you will get results and it will be the best decision you ever made.
What is your favorite sport to watch? Football
If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go.
I've always wanted to see all the countries of my heritage. I've been to Norway, so that leaves England, Germany, Sweden and Poland - probably in that order.

Sissel Kyrkjebo

skydive
Who is the most interesting person you have ever met?
His name is Jim and he served in the marines in WWII - he was on Iwo Jima and was willing to share his experiences with me and show me his helmet (with a bullet hole in it - he says if he'd been any taller, he wouldn't have made it), a Japanese flag, and other things from that time.
If we were to look under your bed, what would we find?
An under-the-bed storage container with a few sweaters and a few dust bunnies
Name a pet peeve of yours?
never taking responsibility for your own actions (anytime something goes wrong, it's never your fault)
What makes you cry? sappy commercials, pretty much anyone else crying
What makes you laugh?
myself often (if you can laugh at yourself, you'll never cease to be amused - not sure who said that, but it's true)
What intimidates you?
the "strong, silent type," going into a situation not knowing what to expect
What makes a person attractive?
kindness to and respect for others
What was your favorite subject in school? Literature
What is the oddest question you've ever been asked? "You're name is Laurel, right?"
What did you want to be when you were a child? What didn't I want to be? Everything from nurse to oceanographer to vet to gymnast.
If you could have dinner with one person (unrelated to you) who is now deceased, who and why?
Rosa Parks, to find out what she was thinking and feeling when she refused to move to the back of the bus.
What is your best childhood memory? We were on a vacation and were going to stay at a hotel with a pool, but everything was full. We ended up staying in this little cottage and went bowling instead of swimming. We had so much fun that day. I don't bowl any better today than I did then, but as long as it's not competitive, I still enjoy it.
