I did a few jumps with a guy we called Big Pat. 6'4ish and probably 350.

He had a full wing on his suit and a panel between the thighs. (Early wing suit ?)

Our first jump, I followed him off of a tailgate. He was gone. I did a gainer to catch him.



thats all fine and dandy until you end up in the "liability" crap now a days. Lets face it, i'm ordering gear that is definately safe for my situation, and in some peoples eyes too conservative (i'd rather be safe than sorry) but when you figure in the legal sue happy shit now-a-days it totally sucks. for instance, if a harness were to fail... would i WANT to be alive after that? come on. A reserve's rating, yeah I can see the situation but alot.....never mind i'm a unhappy camper at the moment.

You've inspired a lot of bigger jumpers. I for one admire that personality trait. Keep it up! Just like one of the "Golden Rules" of skydiving "Never Give Up!"

But to answer your original question, yeah i've considered throwing in the towel. But i'm not going to.

Since i'm feeling a bit cocky tonight now



Your not cocky; you are goofy! Have you ever met SM1?

It is not our fault that you are carrying extra lard!

Exercise and proper eating is what it takes. You need to see a nutritionist. Eating less food only makes your body store more fat.

Contrary to popular belief you need to eat more and the right stuff in order to keep your metabolism in motion.

I would not be scared of SM1 because he is a Greenie.

He can be cool if you are cool. If you are a Dick then I would be careful.


Laters,

K-MAN!!!!!!!!!!

Hi AT

Don't sweat what the fashion queens have to say about gear.

Get gear that can get you back to the packing mat in one piece.

Find other big folks to jump with

Have fun

R.I.P.

Eat the right stuff - agree. Eat more - not necessarily. Not everyone has your metabolism. :P

I am surprised you didn't tell him to take up surfing!



Just like pretty soon he will have to buy a Tandem Rig just to jump. In order for him to Surf he would have to ride a tree trunk!

Also Obviously Marc you did not read the surfing thread properly nor did you realize what I was doing there.

The actual intelligent ones figured it out. :P

Silly Girlie!

I can eat whatever I want with my metabolism.

On the other hand if you eat certain foods it will keep your metabolism active hence you burn unwanted fat from the body.

If you starve your body it retorts by storing more fat.

I know you are smarter than that! :P;):ph34r::D :)

The assumption being starving your body. Not everyone who is "overweight" starves themselves.

In order to lose weight, a lot of the time it's as simple as:

1. eating the correct portions (portion control; reading the labels)
2. eating the right foods but not denying yourself the "bad ones" (just keep the "bad ones" in moderation - don't binge)
3. increasing activity
4. being aware of what is actually eaten/drank per day by the individual

And sometimes it's just that the individual needs to "correct" 1 of the 3 things (assuming there is nothing medically wrong with them that may cause weight gain/inability to lose weight or that they are not on meds that end up with weight gain being a side effect).

Get on a treadmill and do some exercise. If you are just sitting on your ass you have no right to complain. A bunch of ladies at work bitch all the time about being fat and they eat burgers and cold stone (ice-cream) all damn day. Don’t whine and do something about it.

100% honest deal..
I tried adiet for the first time in my life and in two weeks I lost 9 pounds.
(south beach diet)

thing is those first two weeks you are pretty m,uch losing water weight. after that you can continue loosing weight but not quite as fast. I am just starting my 3rd week.


I did cheat some on the weekends b/c I spend the whole day at the DZ so I had to eat fast food but you can still limit the shitty types of food and that will have a HUGE difference on your weight.

I also still run quite a bit but until I tried the Deit I wasnt really loosing weightr. I was just maintaining.
dont be in a hurry to loose all that wieght though. it took you YEARS to put it on most people get discouraged that they dont see results in a month
