    +1

    My NSV - finally got to ride a horse for the first time in many, MANY years after getting my weight under 200. In many places there are weight restrictions, more strict for women than men, on being able to rent a horse for a ride.

    05/08/2012 – 159 – I know this is the wrong direction, but we had a great visit with awesome friends. I took the weekend off, but am ready to jump back on that horse!!! My NSV was not for me, but for my husband – he went on his first motorcycle ride with friends this weekend – unfortunately we celebrated with too much food, but it was a great time!!
