    Last year when I went to Universal Studios I was very embarrassed when I couldn't fit on one of the rides. I told myself that next time I went back I would not have that problem. I've been on my weight loss journey for 5 months and I've gone from 275Ibs to 209Ibs (27Ibs to go). I go back in December and to say I'm excited is an understatement.

    This is awesome! I started my journey for similar reasons! My son wanted to ride a roller coaster and the operators couldn't get the lap bar down over me. That was my wake up call, if I wanted to be able to ride with my son the weight would have to come off! I'm down over 100lbs and rode a coaster with him this summer! You are going to have a blast! Get some pictures!

    @becca_rup23 Yes I get what you mean each time I lose a few Ibs I struggle to see the difference yet people around seem too :/

    @fitoverfortymom Being 275Ibs last year I found it very hard walking around the parks :(
    I'm right there with ya. I started at 256 just before I got on MFP and there's no way I could spend a day at the parks, much less go on any rides.

    I have been there and know how horrible it is to be turned away for not fitting in that seat. That is wonderful you were able to use it to and do amazing! Great Job!

    Awesome, I had a similar situation happen to me this spring. It was at that point I decided something had to change. Down 26lbs and counting.
