I've always wanted to skydive, but just realized while looking into it today that there is a 235lb weigh limit. Call me crazy, but I'm excited to lose another 15lbs so I can jump out of a plane :bigsmile:

    Mine is to go horse back riding. Now, I know that horses can handle lots of weight but it doesn't seem fair to the poor animal to have a 300 pound person on their back. I'm not 300 anymore thank goodness but even the weight I'm at now seems too high to sit on their back. So that's MY thing I wanna do :-)

    Have fun jumping out of an airplane. I couldn't do it. It'd freak me out too much.

    That's a great goal! If it motivates you and spares an animal a little extra hardship, it's a win-win :) I wish you continued success!!

    Crazy. (You said to call you crazy) :laugh: But that's a great goal though. Probably something I would've tried 10 or 15 years ago. I think I've outgrown that stage of my life. LOL

    You're never too old! In fact my father (59) wants to do it with me :)
