Canoeing

These are pictures of my weekend canoeing trip. It was to be a 4 hour trip that ended up being more like 9 hours because we took our time fishing, swimming and just having a great time. I would have never attempted this at 280 lbs. and never in a bikini top, but I still have such fat legs and batwings.......

And for those of you that don't know, I am no spring chicken, I am 52 years old!!!!

Looks like a lot of fun Deb!  I was just considering a nature tour via kayak recently and was wondering if I'd be able to get in the kayak and then out again but iIt's so fun to be able to even consider doing things that I would never have considered at 330 lbs.  Last week I went to the driving range with my DH and had a great time.  I'd never even held a golf club up until this past Saturday and I actually did pretty well! 

The smile on your face says it all!

Congrats!

Thanks Lisa!! Yes, you would be able to fit into the kayak. I saw all sizes of people in them this weekend. It's amazing what we can do now with a "normal" body and the energy to do all the things we only dreamed about before.

You are one of my inspirations on this site, you have really done an amazing job!!!!

Thanks, Deb!  The friends I've made on this site have enriched my life in so many ways and as one of the constants on the LB forum you've been one of those special individuals from the beginning!

Best~
