One of my personally important NSV's - ACCOMPLISHED!!

So, I have not been on a roller coaster in over 6 years - and I love them.  However I had to do the 'walk of shame' once (wait in line, try to get into seat, have to walk off when we cannot get the seat to close), when I went with my son's middle school class trip to Busch Gardens.  I had not realized just how big I had gotten.  Since then I went back and forth, getting sometimes close to 250 before ballooning up again to about 300 (not sure, cause I never weighed myself when I got to that point).  So one of my main goals when I decided to do this was to be able to fit into a roller coaster seat again.

As a gift, a good friend of mine, and other roller coaster lover, took me to Kings Dominion.  On a weekday, when the weather report predicts rain... but it worked out great.... NO LINES!!!  

And most importantly... I fit into EVERY SINGLE SEAT!!  I was even able to get some lift (kind of floating out of your seat a bit) when I went on the upside down ones!!

This is a big one for me too. CONGRATS to you on this great accomplishment!

This is awesome!! Congrats!

That is awesome!

That's a fantastic NSV!  Do that dance!!!

I totally get it.  Last week I did bumper boats for the first time in my life.  I would have sunk the boat if I had tried it preop.  Same thing with go-karts -- first time ever, because I could finally fit into one.  :) 

Way to go!  I bet you are so excited.  Keep up the good work.

That is a wonderful thing! I share the same goal. I loved that Cedar Point had "trial seats" outside the line area to be able to do the shame test in relative privacy.

I told the kids we'd hit 6 flags before the end of summer. I think I'm going to fit into everything just fine. The last time I was at this weight I did.

Love this!  I love roller coasters so much.  I'm so looking forward to my daughter being older so we can take her all over the country to all the awesome amusement parks :)

Awesome NSV!!

Way to go. :) I bought season passes to Six Flags this year for myself, hubby and our 3 kiddos. We try to go at least once every other week, if not more often (we are a 20 minute drive from our local park). I have been able to go on everything I've wanted to without feeling too constricted or miserable. When the kids are at my mom's, we sometimes go just to get in a good walk and go on a few rides. Prior to this year we hadn't been to Six Flags in about 6 years.
