  1. down 3 to 203 ๐Ÿ™‚

    inches still the same.

    Still stressed out at work (till yesterday๐Ÿ™‚), and I've still got to go back to the stress on
    Monday. But losing the three this week means it's not getting to me too badly.

    I may have found somewhere that will accept me to do a parachute jump. It'll probably be a tandem
    jump. 30 seconds of freefall, and three minutes of falling under a canopy. Plenty of time to panic
    ๐Ÿ™‚ I need a doctors note 'cos I'm over 40, and I'd like to lose a bit more weight, but that isn't
    absolutely necessary as I'm under their limit ๐Ÿ™‚ We are looking to jump sometime around August if
    everything goes OK.

  3. Woo Hoo, Ray! GREAT LOSS!

    I'll settle for living vicariously through the report of your parachute jump. Do you have to do any
    pre-jump training?

  4. Good job this week. Sorry to hear that work is so stressful. Take time for yourself and keep going
    to the gym. It maybe the only way that you can deal with the stress.

    Parachute jump? Now that's an interesting idea. Keep us posted on this one.

  10. Way to go on the loss, Ray! I know what you mean about stress at work... however I don't plan on
    solving that by jumping out of an airplane :-) Oh my god, just the thought of it makes me scared!

    I'll settle for living vicariously through the report of your parachute jump. Do you have to do any
    pre-jump training?

    So far as I know it's 40 minutes training. You have to know whats expected in the aircraft and what
    to do when the earth approaches again.

    Static line jumping (where you jump on your own) is a bit more difficult. 6-8 hours of training and
    a harder landing.

    The thrill is losing 203 pounds very quickly. Of course you gain it back again 3 minutes later ๐Ÿ™‚

    I'll keep the group updated on how it goes
