110 done here too! Woo! I don't know about you guys but I can barely sit down (squats), my abs kill so bad I yelped when I sneezed and my arms are already sore lol! Tomorrow......let's see...what's not hurting? Oh right, calves again! See you guys tomorrow!

There's a new Wednesday challenge with the date in it, same exercise anyways!

Sure!

160 whoop! Did last 40 on a ball thinking it would be easier...ER.... Nope! Good on knees though :) See ya tomorrow for arms!

I have 60 left, doing 20 each commercials (Comedy Central)!

OMG! I shoulda read the whole thread! Lol wow, if you're ok with all that then I will just awkwardly back away....

Casual or not, telling you he's taking his x GF stripper out for her special day is disrespectful. I would have been so offended! If you're interested in him at all he just told you he doesn't feel the same way with that. He's stringing you along. It's about respect and PS, if he was REALLY into you he would be all over…

It was 150 crunches of any kind. If its your second week beat your first # by at least 10!

Bouncing on an exercise ball and hovering above every 3rd gentle bounce is one and another could be wall sits [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDjKeOCgisw&feature=youtube_gdata_player quote] What if squats kill my knees? I have arthritis under my kneecaps. Please tell me there is something I can do to strengthen my quads!…

Yes! I have some kind of reverse dysmorphic disorder I swear! In photos, I look 300 pounds, in the mirror I think I look okay. Wish I could see myself accurately :( Seeing a pic of myself really sets me into a depression.

Bathroom breaks! ;)

There is a dress, it fit but not well enough to wear out comfortably (2 years ago).

OMG Bruce!

For anyone wanting a few basic crunch variations http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUL_z0O7kKQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player There are more, all you have to do is Google or YouTube if you want to know correct form, modifications or instructions :)

Done! 175 and all at once :) Everyone is so positive on this thread, you guys keep killing it and come back tomorrow for another challenge!

Depends on how much? More than I could ever spend? That's not right so I would set up all my favorite people with cars or houses. Big family vacation including extended family (reunion on a private boat sailing through Greece?) for sure. Less $ I would start with a little vaca, move home to SF and buy a house. Start a…

Break them up! Don't have to be done all at once, just by midnight :)

2pm 430cals

Interesting, I recently discovered I likely stopped losing weight due to several cycles of antibiotics. Had I not been so carefully counting cals and exercise- I would have likely gained. Seems connected....

You sure can!

You can do them on a wall :) If all else fail then grab some heavy weights, lay on your back and do overhead presses :) EVERYTHING can be modified and there is NOTHING you can't do!

I looked at everything for same issue- couldn't find anything. Ended up with a Subaru that I can keep back straight. Heated seats help a lot and a good old mini pillow filled with rice/seeds.

I am so re-inspired by all of you! I will do challenges again next week M-F!

MONDAY: 100 CRUNCHES TUESDAY: 100 SQUATS WEDNESDAY:100 OVERHEAD PRESSES THURSDAY: 200 CALF RAISES FRIDAY : 100 PUSH-UPS (any kind) Next week more of the same except you have to beat your last number and post by how much if you did them this week. TUESDAY:

Anything that strengths around the knee helps your knee!

You should feel great if you spread them out and stretched :)

Sore thighs shouldn't interfere with a calf workout :) I also have a really bad knee (replaced ACL, repaired MCL, all kinds on meniscus damage) and doesn't bother it at all. I will suggest NOT doing these all at once. Throughout the day in sets :) also-STRECH!!!!!

These challenges are more about discovering that you really CAN push yourself to a new level. Did you do more than you had before? Either way, NEXT time you will beat this number you reached so remember it!

Awesome! Every meal and every step is another chance to turn it around :)

All you have to do is post your commitment to do it here and again when you have completed (before midnight), that's it!
