I went Skydiving!!!!!

7 years and 5 months ago I was unable to check skydiving off of my bucket list because I was too heavy to do it. Well yesterday I was finally able to fulfill that dream and made the jump. The bonus was not only was I light enough to do it, I didn't have to pay extra for being over 200lbs. It was one of the most exciting yet horrifying things I ever did.

Awesome!! I have an idea how you feel, last summer I went for a ride in a 1934 (something like that) biplane, which if I tried the summer before, I would not have been allowed because I would have been overweight....... and would have missed the fun. I am seriously thinking about a tandem jump next, and good to know that I will be eligible for that too!! So much fun! Good on you!

I envy you so much. Skydiving was something I always wanted to try and now with my ankles and knees I never will. Congratulations on a great NSV:drinker:

I did that in January! Such a blast. Definitely caught the skydiving bug, just wish it wasn't so expensive! Congrats for being able to do it!

Congratulations !! I did skydive last Nov. I actually when on diet before I did it. But, it was all worth it, right?

Congrats! I jumped out of a plane for my 30th birthday. The guys on the ground who were directing me as I hung under the chute, put me right through a tree. Fortunately, I missed the heavy parts.
It is pretty stunning how you feel like you are just floating when you are under the parachute. But, then, when you get close to the ground, you realize, you are falling REALLY fast!
I do not know about you, but I was not so nervous the night before going because I had to work myself up to do it. I was determined that I was not going to get up in the plane, and chicken out at the last moment. My moment of truth came the night after. It suddenly hit me: What the heck did I just do! I sat bolt upright in bed, in a cold sweat, and could not get back to sleep.

Congratulations, it's also on my bucket list, but haven't found any friends willing to go with me yet. I will tackle it on my own eventually. Terrified, but still want to do it.

Congratulations!

I cannot think of a better way to celebrate your achievement than by doing what was previously forbidden by a weight impediment! It is an experience that will ALWAYS be as fresh in your mind as the day you did it.

Welcome to an elite club, we're happy to have you!
