@Antiopelle , what push up challenge do you use? It's one of the things I really struggle with doing (inclined is about the best I can do, but my planks are fine, it's just adding the movement...)
Hi @katsheare. Last year I followed this : https://hundredpushups.com/
I'm pretty strong overall, except my arms, therefor I did using my knees as restpoint instead of my toes. I did it until I could do 70, and then due to circumstances I stopped and I regret it, as I truly gained strength. This weekend I will do the test and next week, I start again.3 -

I got a new pairing knive for Christmas, and yesterday, I managed to chop off the tip of my pinkie, but that couldn't amount to more than a few grams, so I'm glad with this today !

Brilliant! This looks thorough, and I do love a graded plan (C25k was a revelation!).
I'll give it a read and hopefully be following in your footsteps soon (not with a paring knife, though! That does not sound like a good weight-loss plan!! I hope you're recovering well and not finding it too intrusive in daily life. It's amazing how much we use things like fingertips...)1 -

1/2 - Oh joy - I've been putting off forcing myself to get back the groove...but seeing 150 on the scale this morning was a wake up call. Kicked the day off with Fast till lunch and brought a decent one with me to work. Been fighting a cold and just not giving a damn. So - I'm grateful for this group and it's baby steps today. No sugar and get intake under control. Off at 3 to go video horses - been fighting lots of deadlines & stress - it's been tough to get much exercise.
1/3 - 148.8 - no workout yesterday, but did well on cals & stuck to no sugar. Working on the same things today.5 -

Goal #1: increase cardio in my routine
I am naturally lean and strong so I need to lose a little fat to see the definition!
Goal #2: drink water before and after every meal
Goal #3: write out how I’m feeling at least every week
Goal #4: decrease dairy intake
I want to decrease bloating and help my skin get back to where it was!
1/3: I had a time of weakness unfortunately. I overate last night because I am going back to college from the break this morning and wanted to enjoy my mom’s cooking one last time. I feel slightly bad about it this morning but not as much as I used to. I am not going to dwell on it but instead going to set myself up for success today by eating foods that fuel me and getting in a workout! My goal is to hit 130 by the end of January and I will hit it. Reminder: It’s okay if we slip up, we’re NOT perfect. Getting right back into the swing of good habits after slipping up is the key to get you back where you need to be! 😊6 -

I'm in the same boat - it was going great... my arms were looking better and I injured my shoulder. I'm doing the test tomorrow and fresh start at it 1/6.1 -

SW: 148.8
GW: 130
Goal #1: keep eating nutritious smoothies
Goal #2: keep exercising
Goal #3: focus on the big picture and not small set backs
I have been sick for basically all of December. Various viral infections and strep. I’m just starting to come to the other side and back to wellness. Due to the illnesses, I have really had to focus on tracking my food and staying within my calorie budget. Because of that I have still been consistently losing weight, but I truly miss working out. I know the gym is packed right now, but I want to be in the thick of it moving my body. I plan to get back into it on Monday, should I have the energy and feel well enough.8 -
Drink my water - yes
Take my meds/supplements - yes
Watch out for the dairy - umm, had old cheddar AGAIN!
Try not to eat after 9 pm since I am on day shift this month - yes
(The past few days)
It's hard when cheese is just my favorite thing. I could live happily on that and nothing else (except it reacts with my body chemistry to stall weight loss)3 -
