Hi Wayward,
You're absolutely right! I've put it off long enough, weight loss/maintenance is a life long committment. Regardless of whether I achieve my personal weight loss goals i'm going for it!
Thanks for your encouraging words.

Wayward Son:I haven't read the whole thread, so I'm prolly covering some things already said.
In a nutshell, IMHO if you can pass the physical you can dive.
My wife is fighting with weight loss, too. She made comments about "losing weight before I start diving". That was months ago. She's still trying to lose the weight, but she's now certified & has logged 15 OW dives.
Some people lose it easier than others. Things like menopause can increase the difficulty. Life's too short to put everything off until you're at your ideal weight, whatever that is. If you're healthy enough to safely do the activity, do it & enjoy. Weight control is a long term exercise. Go on about your life while dealing with it.
