I'm about 30 lbs away from that now and it'd be quite a loss in both fat AND muscle to get there. Also, once I've finished getting my commercial license and mult-rating, I'm planning on taking a little aerobatic course as a graduation present to myself:) BTW, I'm 38, married with 3 kids, work full time, and go to school full-time.....so don't any of the rest of ya' start going on about not having time!! $$ I'd understand, kinda', but not time!
