Theme park ride inspires woman to from 250 to 160 pounds

KTS, I am sorry to hear you've been so sick and just as happy to hear you are on the road to recovery.

SLFAKE, hope your plans are not thwarted next time!

I can't wait for this season, but I hate that I gained some weight back. The more you lose, the better you feel, so keep going, everyone!

I had the same issues, 5'10" 330lbs, started eating less and 9 months later at 270 I can fit on anything although still tight on some rides..still working toward fitting well on everything.

I actually went from 280 this time last year to 180 now. Mostly motivated by not fitting on certain rides. Parks were not much fun when I wouldn't even try to get on many rides anymore.

If I get any fatter, I am going to start having a hard time getting on rides. I noticed lately that I need assistance from the ride host sometimes to push down on my lap bar.

About a year ago, I lost about 40 pounds in just a few months, but I slowly put it all back on. I think that's because I lost it too quickly. Also, when I noticed that I lost the weight, I figured I could go back to eating all the fast food crap again. recently, I stopped eating fast food everyday again, and that's a good start. I used to crave fast food, I think for emotional reasons, but now that I am older and wiser, eating fast food is now just convenience and a bad habit. I don't even like how it tastes anymore.

I should probably get a little more serious about exercise and eating better. I wish I looked as sexy as I did when I was 25. I look back at pictures and am very impressed at how hot I used to be. :D
