1.06 would be by wing loading at this moment in time but I'm currently about 20 lbs above my ideal weight according to my doctor and as I have a family history of type 2 diabetes I'm attempting to lose it. May I be a realist and tell you that planning based on a future weight loss is as piss poor strategy ? I've already lost 15 lbs in the last 2 months and should have lost the rest by january. I swim 1.5 miles twice a week and also use the wii 6 days a week. you lost 15lbs already and need to loose 20 more ? You do know that each successfive pound is harder to loose, right ? You also know that once you get down to your target weight, it's a real mindfuck to keep at it and not get lazy ? Hey - it's your body, not mine, I'm just a random voice of reason on the net :) Half of the problem is that I got lazy in the first place. When I was in the army I ate 3500 cal a day but never went above 150 lbs in 6 years. It took a wake up call from the doctor to make me realise it. My dad, uncle and younger brother are all diabetic.

I realise that it's a bit early to be thinking about buying a rig given that I've only done one jump, but my financial situation means I have to start saving well in advance of the event. My problem is that I have no idea about canopies and containers. I'm 5'10" and weigh 178 lbs, which allowing for the weight of the container would put me at around 205 lbs. I did some quick calculations and I figure I need a canopy somewhere in the region of 190 sq ft which would give a loading of about 1.06. What I need is some suggestions as to an appropriate canopy/reserve/container combination. I know that I want a rectangular main not elliptical but beyond that I have no idea. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone. Did my first static line about 4 weeks ago after waiting 2 years for medical clearance from my doctor (prescribed anti-depressants) and enjoyed myself. I had planned to only do the one jump to raise money for Help for Heroes and to see if I had the nerve to do it. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I've been bitten by the bug and am planning a return to Tilstock this month to jump again (I so want to qualify for my licence!) Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation
