JRock 0 #1 April 19, 2005 Since I have started skydiving I have gained 50lbs. I really didn't think about how my wing loading was affected by this until I did the math this week and was shocked by how high the wing load had become. Way too high for my skill level and currency. I can't fit a bigger canopy into my container and renting is way too expensive. So, with safety in mind I grounded myself until I get to 200 lbs. I found myself trying to say... it will be okay... you have not had any trouble with the canopy so far. Well, it will be the one time I have to land in a tight spot that will jack me up. So, grounded I stay until I get down to 200 lbs. So please send me PMs saying hey fat ass... did you lose some weight? By the time I drop the weight.... I might actually have the money to jump a lot!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brains 2 #2 April 19, 2005 QuoteSo please send me PMs saying hey fat ass... did you lose some weight? Dude, PUBLIC ridicule is what you need. Not get of your fat lazy ass and go work out or something, did you HEAR me? Put down that cupcake and eat a frickin salad or something. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

Tink1717 2 #4 April 19, 2005 Actually, grounding yourself is the only option you have at this point. Your gear is not TSO'd for lard asses bigger than 250. Now get to the gym NOWSkydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!)

Amanduh 0 #5 April 19, 2005 Loose it because you want to. You shouldn't need people calling you mean things in order to get the willpower needed to accomplish your goal. I'm down 83 lbs so far...Just watch what you eat and get in exercise. Think about little things you can do. Instead of stopping by to get the mail in your car or whatever, go park and then walk to the mailbox or mail station (whatever living situations you have). Instead of taking a 5-10 minute break at work to smoke (if you do) or get a snack, go take a walk around the building. Little things like that thrown into your day will help a lot. Land further away from the packing area so that you have to walk out from the field. I'm serious LOL There are little things you can do that will help you out. Good luck!!!!

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites NWFlyer 2 #13 April 19, 2005 Find a food plan that works for you and stick to it. Easy way to cut a lot of crap out of your diet? Get rid of refined sugar and simple carbs. Anything with high fructose corn syrup (seems like half the packaged products out there, at least). Gone. Sodas and bottled fruit juices are big culprits for being loaded with sugar. Stick to whole grains, complex carbs, fresh foods, simple preparations. Cut out as much processed food as you can - you'll feel better, anyway. Of course, it means being prepared - have plenty of stuff available so you're not thinking "oh, it's just easier to stop by McDonalds. It'll be easier if you're not out at the DZ every weekend - I know I'm much more likely to succumb to the easy "we're ordering pizza" solution for lunch. Exercise. Not negotiable. You'll look better and feel better and your body will work more efficiently. It's not easy - but if you look at it as changing your lifestyle and eating habits to get healthier, not as a "diet" that you can go off once you've reached your goal weight, you'll be better positioned for long-term health and fitness. PM me if you want more details. By sticking to a similar formula to what I've just outlined, I dropped 125 lbs in about 18 months and went from couch potato to skater, snowboarder, scuba diver, hiker, and skydiver. It's tough, but doable. I've started skydiving since then and it's one heck of a powerful incentive not to slip back into old bad habits."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.
