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…

You can do this, @gcr2012. And feel free to leap into Round 65 before it ends. You don't need to be there from the start to get a warm welcome! :)

In! Welcome @larkspur94!

Nope, @Winner_in_Life, this is a no shame zone! Upticks in weight, bad days (or longer), frustrations, all are things we can learn from and help us grow as people. There's zero shame in that! You are awesome and you're doing a magnificent job changing your life.

That's a great goal! The push ups challenge I'm doing can be used for any modification of push ups, just so you know. Or this exercise program suggests interspersing punches and push ups, and I bet that would help build up your strength. The numbers might be higher than you want right now, but I always use programs like…

Welcome @lemonita12 and jump on in! :)

@jemtred, that's because burpees are evil. :lol:

Thanks for the info, @FarmerCarla!

I've got one of those! He's enormous and puts off heat like a furnace but he LOOOVES to snuggle, no matter how hot it is! This is Alistair. :)

@taxgirl1, I make deals like that with myself all the time and most of the time it works out really well. I never want to think of exercise as punishment, so sometimes I have to be tolerant of my own frustration and impatience. I'm sorry you're having to deal with an elimination diet! I feel your pain. I hope you figure…

@shunggie, that's definitely a win! You weighed your options and thought about how you would feel and then made a choice that reflected your rational decision. That's excellent and all any of us can expect of ourselves. Yes, sometimes we will want a sausage biscuit and sometimes we'll have one, but we can choose when and…

@quiltingjaine, ooh, what a pretty kitty! Looks like an excellent snuggler, too. :)

@FarmerCarla, I've had to repeat several weeks, so it's definitely taking me a while to get through it! Your best will be plenty. :)

Oh my goodness, @tandysha. The thought of -22 makes me long for a toasty blankie and a lapful of purring cat.

@FarmerCarla, it's a tough challenge, but I keep surprising myself with my progress. And there's something cool to me about pushups. I also bought this t-shirt to commemorate my progress because it makes me laugh (and I have a lot of T-Rex shirts because I always joke that I have short, stubby T-Rex arms). :) I am tempted…

Goodness, @kklawrence92, having no reason to complain has never stopped ME. :lol:

Here's my best tip when it comes to homemade soup-type meals. Weigh and log everything you put in. When it's all cooked weigh the final weight of the soup in grams. Then make the number of servings the number of grams. If you then have 300 grams of soup, enter it as 300 servings. This is by far the easiest way I've found…

This made me laugh out loud. :)

Okay @AR10at50 and @shunggie, now I can't stop seeing "quitters"! I blame you! :lol:

Oh, @deepwoodslady, I'm so sorry you are facing such a traumatic event! So many good wishes from me and, I'm sure, from everyone here. We're here for you if you want an ear (a whole lotta ears!) I find a walk or other exercise can really help clear my mind. Hugs and support to you!

Yep, @quiltingjaine, I've heard that about humidifiers, that you need to be scrupulous in keeping them free of mold so that they don't spread the mold through the air. @StefanieBerger88, I hope you figure out a cause!

Welcome, @Northernskyyy!

Ooh, @SheilaBoneham, mind if I invite myself over for lunch? :lol:
