Good afternoon! Just had to share this - I went soaring in a glider yesterday! This is something I have dreamed of and wanted to do for years and could not do because of the weight restrictions. It was just GREAT - beautiful, serene, and fun! What are things you would love to do, but weight has been a barrier?

WOW, you look great!! My first modest goal is to bicycle 'Ride the Rockies' in June 2016. But something I never thought I would do and both of my daughter have done is to skydive. Not sure if I will be able to do that even when I lose my weight. Next is to buy a wet suit and learn to scuba with my sister.

You are brave, Liz. I completed a couple daring feats this summer--once only dreams, too: 1) rode the Alpine Slide at Spirit Mountain in Duluth, MN 2) got a certificate proving I climbed a Fire Tower in Bemidji, MN. The last thrill to complete before fall is floating down the Mighty Mississippi River on a blow-up mattress. I've been dropping off my DD's upstream and picking them up downstream for years. I told them this year I'm floating with. They can't believe I'm interested. I can't believe they are surprised.

Congrats on checking an item off your bucket list. Living is so much better without carrying both our extra weight and guilt around with us every day.
