Diet Tonic Water(lime diet tonic water if you can get it), squeezed lime, and 1 ounce of vodka or gin. Try citron vodka and an orange slice squeezed...

It was not bad... I am just going to stay at 200 situps per day. I am also doing 100 push ups.

My last update... Week 5 - day 1 --- 200 situps.. I am no increasing my push ups... Good luck to all of you. I find the situps really help.... my abs are tighter...

I fractured my knee a couple years ago while skiing which of course put my running out for a while. I was able to bike slowly initially and after a couple weeks I could bike at a decent speed. When I went to physical therapy they started me biking right away. This was before it healed. I needed to keep it moving. I have…

Week 5 - 200 situps!

week 5 - day 6 - situps 190

Week 4 - Day 5 - 185 situps...

I agree with the others... You need to weigh yourself at the start of the day. I always weigh myself after brushing my teeth. Now this does not mean your scale will go down but it will be consistent. I find my scale goes down periodically not every week. As long as you are keeping in control and exercising, it will move…

Week 4 - day 5 180 situps... next week I will make 200!

Week 4 - Day 4 - 175 situps

Week 4 - day 3 - 170 situps...

Don't get so down on yourself. You are doing the right thing. You are beginning again. I set small goals for myself. I try to loose a pound a week but it usually does not show up as a pound a week. It averages that amount. I also believe that you need to eat more. I never really believed that until I used MFP. I seem to be…

I agree with others that you should weigh yourself at the same time. Also, measure your success by how your clothes fit. I find it far more rewarding to fit into a pair of jeans that have been in the back of the closet (due to not fitting) than the scale. Exercise works regardless of the scale. Keep up the good work... the…

Happy Anniversary!

Week 4 - day 1 - 160 situps

Week 3 Day 7 - 150 situps

Week 3 day 6 - 150 situps After a 25 minute abs and back routine on balance ball. Raining today so no outside biking.

I would say I am week 3 - Day 5 - 140 situps - After biking 50 mins..

So...I just read your first email thoroughly and found the website. I will read through and take the initial test... Details to follow...Thanks for asking..

Maybe I am a little confused. I am in week 1. I saw this thread and joined. Where is the details pertaining to the column tracking and the weeks. but.. for now, I am in my first week of sit up challenge trying to make 200. Prior to this week, I could do 40 situps without a problem. I did 40 every other day. I am now…

Day 5 - 120 sit ups...

Did anyone ever try using the balance ball for push ups? It seems easier but definite works...

Day 4 - 120 sit ups after a one hour bike ride...

Day 3 - 110 sit ups done after completing 45 minutes of lower and upper body workouts using the balance ball. My children gave me the balance ball and dvd for Mother's Day. It is a great way to get a good workout anytime. I highly recommend it.

Day two... 100 situps.. by the way... I do the half way up situps... these are better for your back... Are you folks doing a complete situp?

Time to change doctors! If your doctor does not listen to you and does not encourage you then he is not good for you. I have been going to female doctors for 20 years. I find that female doctors listen and have more than likely gone through what you are going through. Good luck!

I did 100 situps this morning after biking.

I am in... I will post tomorrow..

Hi, I am new to this thread. I am 56 and have been 15 to 20 pounds over weight for many many years. I just logged into this site 2 weeks ago. I run but have been labeled a heavy weight runner. :-( . My personal goal last month was to increase my mileage. I ran greater than 20 miles a week. I met that goal. I now want to…

Think of exercise as a way of taking care of you. I know that exercise helps prevent many diseases. A good strong body can fight off health. Do the exercise not to loose weight but to improve your overall health. Walking is a good start! By the way, you don't necessarily eat all the calories you burn.
