Daizey 0 #1 February 10, 2004 My poor roommate. All last semester she had to deal with my pictures of skydiving, my videos, my talking about it. I thought Id drive her nuts...instead she became insanely interested in it. She began learning about the sport and beginning to intereact with others to learn some more. She even joined dropzone.com as NYKim06 to gain some knowledge. But according to her, she was in no way ready to jump. Since Kim was overweight she wasn't sure she could jump or if she'd even be comfortable doing it, so for awhile she kinda put the idea in the back of her head. Her self-confidence wasn't very high and she began talking about it less and less. I began to think she gave up hope. Until a few weeks ago. I got a call from Kim telling me she joined a weight loss program and was doing really well. She was so proud of herself. When i went up to visit her that weekend, i got to see her goal sheet. There was a statement that said "I want to lose weight because..." followed by a blank. The blank said "because my dream is to go skydiving" Kim has so far lost 13 pounds and shes put various skydiving pics up in her room to keep her motivated. I don't know about you, but i find this story extremely inspiring. I love to see people doing all they can to achieve their dreams. Kims dream is to skydive, and this summer she WILL jump-and I know she couldn't be more happy. *daizey* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeedToJump 0 #3 February 10, 2004 It sounds like she really wants this to happen and is working hard towards her goal. With determination like that she's bound to acheive it. She's already put more in to it then a lot of people who do skydive and she hasn't even made a jump yet. Go Kim, you can do it!

jmpnkramer 0 #9 February 10, 2004 That is outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know a few women who started skydiving and lost a bunch of weight after they started. The before and after pictures are unbelievable. I am behind her 100%. It is too bad that more people in our Country could not find something that they enjoy enough to get in shape for it.
