  1. Last weeks weight: 263.6 Curret Weeks Weight; 263.2 Weight Change: -.4 While although depressing (this is the smallest incriment of loss I've had since I started) I still lost weight- which after the mandatory July 4th BB-q ad then the overnight camp trip, I figured I'd put on a good 2 or 3 pounds. So it's not all bad. As always, the Jiu Jitsu is still great. Having a blast in class getting my ass kicked (we are transitioning all but one class a week to Gi training) And seeing as how I've only done three Gi classes in 2 and a half months, I'm not really that good at it. But I can still relativley hang in with the other guys there. The upside is, doing more Gi training will get mke me a much more technical fighter. Well, that's 13.2 pounds unil my first skydive- hopefully I can burn a few pounds this upcoming week to make up for this week. Catch you all later.

  2. I hate to be the one to correct the press on this one...BUT..he wouldn't have been "sucked" out of the airplane. He would have been pushed out from the internal pressure. Geez, you'd think that writer of the article would have looked that up.

  3. Previos Week Weight: 269 This Weeks Weight: 263.6 Change From Last Week: -5.4 pounds!!!! Total weight loss from April 17 (when I started): -37.4 pounds So thats 13.6 punds to go before my fist skydive!!!! It's so close I can't wait!!!! Anyway, the Jiu Jitsu is still incredible. I actually earned my first stripe for my belt!!! I was shocked to say the least. I've only been there for a little over 2 months, so I was expecting another month or two (at least) before my first stripe, but apparently I'm doing pretty well. See you all next week!!

    UFC 73

    I hope Tito beats the shit out of Rashad(I can't stand him- don't know why- he just irks me). I just cant wait to sit and relax and watch it. Shouldbe a good night of fights all around. On a side note- anyone else hear that Gray Maynard died after that slam to Emerson? I heard he had a spinal problem and he died. But I cant seem to find any info online. Thanks.

  5. I was waiting for someone else to post this, but I guess I'll get i started. Previous week weight- 270.2 Current week weight- 269.0 Weight change- -1.2pounds Thats 19 pounds to go before my first skydive. I know its cheating, but it was nice to see 266.4 pounds after my 2 hours of Jiu Jitsu today. The 269 was my wake up this morning weight.

  6. Last weeks weight- 271.2 This weeks weight- 270.2 Loss: -1 pound 20.2 pounds to go until my first skydive. The Jiu Jitsu is incredible. When I first started, I could barely keep up with warm ups(run, squats, push ups, etc...). Now I try to stay at the front of the run line (and not to keep the pace down). After a month of training, I got to do my first live night (actually using what I learned in a timed scenario). I lasted 4 minutes (two 2 minute rounds). Now about a month later, my personal best is 16 minutes (eight 2 minute rounds), including one night of man in the middle (I lasted 9 minutes straight). Needless to say I am quite proud of myself. The only downfall-buying new clothes. I've dropped at least from a 42 to a 40 (and I could probably fit into a 38, but I like the extra room). Catch you next week!!!

  7. So when are we going to check in?

  8. I'll hop in again on this. Although last time it seemed to jinx me- but anyway, I'm on the eat right most of the time (about 98% of the time) /Brazilian Jiu Jitsu weight loss system. I started training on April 17th. At the time I started I was 301 (yeah I know- I'm fat) anyway, as I stated 2 1/2 years ago when I joined this site- my goal is 250 (so I can go on my first tandem jump). Although if/when I ever hit 250, my goal will probably be 235. So starting weight was 301 (April 17) Current weight as of this morning: 271.2 That leaves 21.2 pounds to go (29.8 lost so far)until I can fullfill my dream.

    UFC 71?

    You missed one- Parisyan. That was a hell of a fight. As far as Liddel/Jackson goes- I really wanted Chuck to win, but I had a bad feeling that Rampage was coming home with the belt. I just didnt see it happening that fast. Give it up to Rampage- Chuck left his chin sitting out there, and Rampage cracked it. Good stop by Big John- Chuck was out after the second punch- looks like the third woke him back up, but it was way too late. Wonder when the rematch will be?????

  10. Pretty sweet. Would be nice if it were a better graphic- not too easy to see it clear when I blow it up to get a better look at it. I would say the first is my favorite, followed by the third.

  11. Ok, didnt feel like reading three pages of posts to see ifthis was named or not- but I recently got turned on to Crane Lake wines. Merlt, Chardonay, Pinot Grigio, and Cabernet. All of them are 3.99 a bottle (Bought a caseof Pinot fopr my wife- $52) Suprisingly good fo being thatcheap. It as actually voted one of the best under $10 wines.

    The one thing that has pissed me off this season, is all the close calls- Jack almost has his finger cut off (then the phone call) the second nuke almost goes off, but Jacks there with seconds to spare to disarm it, the third nuke is on its way, and at the last second Jack flies it off course. There were alot more- but you get the point. Would have been more realistic if Jack lost his finger, or if one of the 2 nukes blew up. Theres only so many "in the last seconds" I can believe- and this season has gone way overboard.

    BASE game

    I tried posting this in the gen. skyd. forum on this game, but I figured I'd try posting it here to. Ive downloaded it 4 times, and I still cant play it. Yes I installed the PhysX Driver thingy. I get to the startup menu (where you can change the controlls) hit the start button, and I get "game-d.exe has encountered a problem and need to close" Anyone have any ideas how to fix it?

  18. I have a question for anyone that has this event taped (I saw it live- but didnt tape it)- Lambert v. Babalu- I swear Lambert tapped when he was in the rear naked choke. It was quick, but I saw it. One of my buddies from work agrees- but I really want to see a replay to see if I was just seeing things. If anyone has it taped, can you take a look and let me know.

  19. My wife and I both work for Costco- there's only 2 locations in S.C.- Myrtle Beach and Charleston. And we're only 30, so retiring is way out of the question I had been to Myrtle Beach a long time ago, and what I remember I liked. So that was my first choice. We've been looking on realtor.com at houses in the area, and they seem pretty nice for the price.

  20. So my wife and I hae had enough of New Jersey. We're looking to move within a year (logistics of both of us transferring to the same warehouse). Riht now, our main interest is Myrtle Beach, SC. If anyone lives there, I'd like to here what you think of it. What areas to avoid, what taxes are like, etc... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  21. I would have posted this on the comments page at Skydivingmovies.com, but nobody has commented it since June, so figured I'd post it here. I know the first song on this video is Quarashi's Transparent Parens, but Ineed to find out the title of the second song. Thanks in advance.

  22. I was just flipping thru the channels, and was quite surprised to see a small clip on the news showing this stunt. I figured Stunt Junkies wouldn't allow anyone to show it till they broadcast it.

  23. Record breaking 70 degree weather over this past weekend, and now its 35 (wind chill of 24) with snow. Then back up to the sixties for this weekend, and back to the fourties by next Tusday. Seriously- I don't mind the cold. I actually kinda like it, and snow. I just wish it could be one or the other. And it's not like I can even enjoy the nice weekends (seeing as how I always work weekends). Sorry, just had to bitch.

  24. Runyan is a piece of shit- 2 cheap (pussy) shots to the Giants one defense to him being an ass clown- and the penalties offset? What kind of shiti s that?

    UFC 66

    Sorry, but got to agree with the shit stoppage. Yes Tito was curled up in a ball- but watch the replay- of all the shots Liddell threw, hehit Tito's arm about 12 times, and hisface/head once maybe twice. And as the ref was stepping in, Tito was rolling out. Who knows, he could have rolled out, opene up and gotten his head knocked off- or he could have rolled out and ket going. I think th fight wasalot closer to be stopped in the first round. Shit stoppage in the third. Hopefully he'll get another shot.
