Yeah Mommyof2... you started a journal... I just posted in it.. then I read it.
I had the same experience at Marine world with a ride.. the only difference is I didn't want to go on it in the first place, but I lost a bet and was supposed to ... but darn, I didn't fit.

And about almost getting to 200....I felt that too back when I was in my 20's. Did traditional dieting... and gained more and more. No this last December I hit 291.75.. and what a scare I had then... but things of the past, we found what works and it's down hill from here...
