In Missouri, you have to be under 225 lbs to go tandem skydiving (*that would be strapped to a knowledgeable instructor - the ONLY way to go!) Well, I have lost 35 lbs and am ONE POUND AWAY from their requirement. Technically I'm going to wait until I am 220 before I sign up (why tempt fate!?) but I am SO excited to reach this first milestone of jumping out of a perfectly good plane!! Thanks everyone for the support and encouragement!

    I think you just gave me a new goal reward idea :) I went skydiving for my b'day seven years ago and it was one of the most amazing things I've ever done!! It is SO much fun, and awe-inspiring. I've also hesitated to go again b/c of my weight (I don't even know what the limits are around me; I was way lighter when I went) - but it's officially back on my list of to-dos.

    Have fun, and if you can get pictures do it!! ...and post some here. Congrats!

    That is a great milestone! I will be 40 in March and that is my big thing for 40, like you, there is no need to hurry to sign up.... I know I will only ever jump out of a perfectly good plane once in my life. :) Congrats make sure you post pics when you actually get up there!

    I'm not sure where you got this info, but there are several skydiving companies in Minnesota that have a maximum weight limit of 235 to even 250lbs. I've never seen anything about a weight limit of 150 :)

    Buy the video if they offer one...watching the video afterward is half the fun. Also, wear long sleeve if they don't give you a jump suit. I have pics of my arms flapping in the wind...really sucked.
