stair climbing challange

Options
I am a 54 year old women who has been over weight 90% of my life. I decided to take the bull by the horn after an accident that broke a rib and punctured my lung, back in July2011. I quite smoking and started walking (I could hardly breath never mind walk) but I made myself do it and my 2 wonderful dogs love it. As it became easier I decided to challange myself so I started carrying 5 lbs in a nap sack. I now have a weight vest and now I carry 30 lbs. Tuesday (Nov 29) I again decided to up the stakes and challenge myself further. I climbed 25 flights of stairs wearing my vest and today I did 30 flights (real stairs not a stair climber). Is there any ladies out there that are willing to help challenge me and top my stairs.
