This is me 2 years ago....

At this time my son wanted me to go to Adrenalin Forest with him, its a high wire course with 7 levels consisting of 105 challenges ranging from 10 ft above the ground to 101 ft in the treetops. You have a harness but it requires a tolerance of heights ( which i dont have) fitness and strength ( which i didnt have) and a body that can fit through a small barrel ( mine definitley wasnt at 281lb) . My son completed the entire course in 4 hrs while i watched stressing at ground level.

me now...

so my son asked again ,that for a birthday treat could i take him again and now im smaller could i please do it with him. Putting aside my fear of heights i agreed.....
Starting the course feeling a bit scared!..

on the way down from 49ft holding my entire weight by my hands on the flying fox....

So as you can see not only did i give it a go but i smashed my goal and did 4 levels (not 3) and didnt need to get rescued!!! very battered and bruised on the body but the ego is shining bright. This journey is NOT just about weight loss but achieving things you never thought possible. To see my full story go to success stories and look for "nearly there 106lb gone 10lb to go"

    What makes this special to me is that you came through on a wish of your son's, even after all that time and with all the apprehension. What a great mom!
