anarki 0 #26 November 14, 2008 I want to say thanks to Todd and Chris at skydive houston for taking a fat boy in... I've been hanging around skydive houston for about 6 weeks now, i know they want to kill me some times. But from the first time i walked in, they made me feel at home. Not to many people out there will go that extra mile to help any one, but this dz did just that. All of the stuff has been some of the best people i've ever meet. So a BIG THANKS TODD,CHRIS AND ALL OF THE STUFF AT SKYDIVE HOUSTON for making this fat boy's dream come true... guess what's 250 lbs and flys like a brick? me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pokerstar 0 #27 November 14, 2008 David, contact the folks at Skydive The Farm. I am going there in January to do my AFF. 14 lbs is awesome, keep it up! I have lost approx 170 lbs in less than 2 years, but I had lap band surgery. My highest weight was 431 lbs, and I am nos down to approx 262. I just had to have the lap band replaced as it slipped, so I am on a liquid diet for 2 weeks then soft food for 2 weeks. All I keep telling myself is that this will help me in AFF and in getting my A license! Keep it up! You can do it!Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber. --- The Dude --- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #29 November 14, 2008 Well, you jumped with Lance, so you jumped with a 100% top quality instructor! He's good people. I'm a bit heavier then you are and here I am. You can do this if you want to and you're willing to understand that you're going to have to spend some money on gear. You'll need a good jumpsuit and good training, otherwise you'll only see the bottom of formations. Keep working out, keep loosing weight it will only help. Keep jumping and listen to Lance. Or if you want to be a quitter and never understand what skydiving is truly about, then sure, quit now before you have any experience. Otherwise, suck it up cupcake, get in the gym and keep working hard.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
