Yesterday I went on a roller coaster and I fit without any help from the attendents! Just 7 short months ago I could get on the coaster but It took a lot of pushing on the lap bar and the buckle was strecthed to the max! Not anymore!! The lap bar went down and closed with plenty of room to spare! As I was sitting waiting for the ride to start I could feel the tears of joy! This was a big goal of mine and I accomplished it! This has also given me the motivation I needed to get these last 40 pounds off!! I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!!!!!

Congrats. It's always wonderful to hit your goals

what an awesome victory for you! I know right now I fear the amusement parks for that reason... others just don't understand until they have been there!!! Congrats on such a wonderful reason for tears!!!

Very cool! I have never had that happen to me, but my son(who had surgery in Aug 2011) had to not ride Harry Potter at Universal Studios,but has since gone back and ridden it! Congrats for your NSV!!Karen

Congratulations! Not sure that I will ever be brave enough to actually ride a rollercoaster but at least now it is an option for both you and I.

That's so exciting! We took our daughter to an amusement park this past weekend and I just kept thinking about coming back next summer when I'll be small enough to ride the rides.....can't wait!!!!!!

Way to go!!!
