Welcome @lmveilleux! I love this group and hope you do, too. :)

Woman, Age 47, 5'6", Celiac disease OSW: 252 Round 65 SW: 216.4 1/13—216.6—Excellent. :) I was afraid yesterday's number was a fluke and that I'd bounce way high again. Yesterday, at the very end of round 64, I managed 31 push ups. I'm nearly 1/3 of the way to my end of year goal of being able to do 100 push ups in a…

@SarahG626, just to be clear, I do knee pushups for the challenge. My plan is to go to 100 with knee pushups, then start again with toe pushups. :)

@quiltingjaine, no C25k for me right now, but it's a fantastic program.

Yep, @mamarh, as @MimiOfTheLusciousLawn (great username!) said, it's water. For me, my gains are especially high when I do crunches. So that's why you just need to use the scale to show trends and to understand how your body is reacting to various inputs. Don't get discouraged! Just anticipate some little (or sometimes…

@Fightingthefat2019, I'm so glad the scale doesn't measure how goofy we look when we exercise! Or record the things I say to myself when I'm doing it! :lol:

It's funny because I really don't much like push ups, but I viewed it as something that would be very challenging and help me improve upper body strength. Both things have come true! If anyone is interested, this is the challenge I'm doing: https://hundredpushups.com/test.html

Welcome, @Jaynee1961. You got this!

Welcome, @Fightingthefat2019! Ooh, C25k is such a great program. One of my knees flares up when I try to run, or I'd join you! :)

@FarmerCarla, that's right! And I get my inspiration from you and others in this thread day by day. :heart:

In late! Woman, Age 47, 5'6", Celiac disease OSW: 252 Round 64 SW: 217.2 1/7—217.2—Hello friends and friends-I-haven't-met-yet! I hope everyone had some break time. I had some vacation days, some lounging about days, and some recharging my batteries for 2019 days. I'm starting this round at almost the same as my start…

Welcome, newcomers! It's always so fun to hear new stories and see people thrive in this challenge.

I'm so glad you'll be back. :love: And welcome to all of the newcomers, too!

@koljandertjie68, it's never too late to join a round, but welcome whenever you decide to jump in. :)

I'm a definite believer in daily weighing for myself. Data data data!

@MadisonMolly2017, 75 pounds is wonderful! You are doing so incredibly well. I love these moments of joy and celebration.

In in in!

@SheilaBoneham, I figure if I weren't making a fool of myself on occasion I'd hardly have any personality at all! :lol:

Aw! That is such a nice thing to hear, @brightresolve, especially from you. I'm a huge fan! Thank you.

Welcome back, @gomezdiana06!

@SheilaBoneham, I love that you read more and thought to come back in and retract your recommendation. It can be hard for me sometimes to say when I got too enthusiastic and jumped the gun. You are awesome. :)

You can do this, @blackviking14! If you feel like it, talk about what you are trying and I'm sure a bunch of us would be happy to help you troubleshoot what's going on.

I have to do that with kettle corn. On the rare occasions I get kettle corn, I eat too much of it, so I tell my husband I need an intervention and he takes it and hides it. I can have it if I specifically ask for it, but usually I forget about it! Our partners and other family can play a huge supporting role when we have…
