Tears in YOUR eyes....I've got tears in my eyes because I'm so proud of you. Those who have never had weight problems find it hard to understand that you miss out on a lot when you're overweight. My goal is to be able to fit in a roller coaster seat comfortably. The last time I went to an amusement park was over 10 years ago. I tried to get on a roller coaster and after waiting in line for an hour, I was unable to fit in the seat. I was so embarrassed I haven't been to an amusement park since. Congrats on your accomplishment!!!! 
ONE OF LIFE'S MYSTERIES IS HOW A TWO-POUND BOX OF CANDY CAN MAKE A PERSON GAIN FIVE POUNDS
YAY!! That's so awesome! Do you know what the number on your route was? I see one that is a 5.7 but not sure that's yours.
Just to give you a frame of reference, when I started climbing at 273lbs I couldn't even follow a route. I just made my way to the top by grabbing whatever. My goal after surgery was to do a 5.4 which is considered easy. I can now do a 5.6 which is average. If you did a 5.7, even more kudos to you!!
But you look great. And all the shaking is mostly due to the adrenaline of being frikking off the ground. When you do it more often that goes away and then you just feel the burn ;)

It was a 5.5 and I took the "rainbow" route as my daughter calls it! hee hee She did a 5.10 A/B and made it look EASY. hahaha
It was so much harder than I thought it would be.
And Congrats to you doing 5.7's! Yay!

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I'm off to help at an Agility match for the rest of the day! It will be fun!
Im planning a trip to our local indoor rock gym too! I've been many times to watch my kids but never did it! So was it really hard?
