[QUOTE="douglas99, post: 485930, member: 38028"] Personally, I don't know about lightweight. Slim(ish) helps. It's balance that got me. I put on weight, my reactions got worse, my sense of my own balance, and even my own shape was off. So it's put me off doing things like this in sport. Now I'm back to the shape I was 25 years ago. Maybe a stone or two heavier, but's that muscle. And the confidence is back with a vengeance. (Coupled with a fact I've done most of it already, so the bravado is now replaced by a fact I didn't die the first time around, and even if I do the second I've still had the first) And I know I float in a wet suit, without even trying, so drowning is a ting of the past. And I can afford it now as well. And if I don't kill me, diabetes may. And if neither do, I still win. [/QUOTE]
