So a 1 lb loss, I am staying consistent! Really wanted more but there it is!!!!

CorrieV1976

Anyone want to make up the Challenge this week?

caroltina

I will if you like??? I'll have a think while at the gym and come back to you... ok?

caroltina

Right what you think of this idea - a push up/press up(UK) challenge - so I thought see how many you can do counting to fatigue each day - you could do box version, half (girly) or hard core full.!!!!!!

You can do different push ups too - so wide arms, narrow arms (triceps) or 12/3 where you have one hand at 12 (on the clock) and the other at 3 then switch, you can switch every one or every 5 etc.

See how many you can do and try to build on it - My challenge will be to do full, even if I can do 2 by the end of the week I will be so pleased.
If you have never done push ups before and they scare you then you can be really proud if you get out 10 in a row by firday
Google the different styles if you have never done it before. Don't forget to pul your tummy button in as this is a core workout as well as upper body.

Does this sound ok? Tell me if it is too much?

CorrieV1976

sOUNDS PERFECT!!!! IM UP FOR IT!!!

KateHubb

Let's do this!!!

caroltina

Brilliant well done girls mega spirit! Let's post what we can do tomorrow is it? It is 10:30pm for me here - so do them to fatigue - I just can't do another in the hardest style you can do. I am going to do as many half as I can do and first try how many full.
Don't forget about those tummy muscles
Best of luck

Samantha76

Ok, I will give this one a shot.

caroltina

Yey well done Sam

So I did mine tonight, I did 20 half and getting the 20th out was so hard. In terms of my own personal goal I found full press ups very hard, I could barely do one.

caroltina

So I did 3 full pressups today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CorrieV1976

awesome Carol!!!! I havent hit one full one yet!! its my mission tonight!!

KateHubb

Sure is quiet around here....................

Well, boo. I didn't hit my goal of being 215 today, but I am 216.4, which is a 2.2 lb loss from last Friday.... so I can't be TOO disappointed!!! I am very pleased with that in just one week.

I'm so glad it's Friday!! Hope everyone is having a fabulous day so far and I can't wait for everyone to check in today with their losses! Whoop!

CorrieV1976

YOU ARE DOING FANTASTIC KATE....I GAINED 2 POUNDS AND HAVENT BUDGED.....I DID MANAGE TO GET 2 FULL PUSH UPS DONE CORRECTLY LAST NIGHT....ITS A START I GUESS.

caroltina

I was thinking everyone was quiet - thought I had put everyone off with the press ups! No training today and tomorrow for me, but back to the fulls after that. I had No progress this week - grr, but on the up side the doc is sending me for bloods to see why I feel so tired al the time. Have a great weekend

CorrieV1976

Well I hope they find out why you are so tired -- Have a great weekend everyone!! xo

caroltina

So I bashed out 25 half press ups this morning, 5 more than the first time I tried and did 3 full, my trainer gae some advice of doing 5 half and then 1 full and repeat - to try to strengthen - then when I feel I can do 5 half and 2 full and so on!

CorrieV1976

Thats a great idea Carol!!!

So what to do for this weeks Challenge? I say we keep the push ups!! but lets add......or we can do a combo of every challenge so far....for our last week of September

It would be burn 350 calories a day 20 JJ's 20 (each leg) lunges, Push ups and on Wed, burn 450 calories and double everything else??? What do you think?

KateHubb

Ok so I wanted to check in with everyone and see how many pounds you have lost since Sept 1. I have gone from 222 to 215 which means I have 3 days to lose 3 pounds to meet my goal. Yeah... as much as I hate being negative, that's not going to happen. I knew 10 pounds in 1 month was a pretty agressive goal, but maybe 7-8 lbs a month agrees with my body better.

What about everyone else????

I will only have lost 3lb in sept - 3 .... 3 I ask you. I have literally worked my butt off and 3 lb

caroltina

On the positive I have realised my badge says 20lb lost!!!!! In 95 days. In addition my ticker has 1 lb to go to my first target.

caroltina

is this group continuing after sept????

KateHubb

I don't see why not! I kind of like it being close knit with just a few members. I feel more connected!

Random check-in: 211.4 this morning. I was 213 on Oct 1 so I'm down 1.6 lbs so far in 5 days. I'll take that! Goal is 205 by Halloween which would be an 8 lb loss for October.

caroltina

I like it because of that too Kate! I weighed sunday and was 224lb, and am not allowed to weigh till tuesday and I am determined to stick to it! Prior to this I weighed everyday, nightmare! Hoping it will be good. Even if it is not I have learnt lots about my diet and how to change it.
