I think the OP shemyg06 decided to do his own challenge and posted it here for accountability and tracking. I stumbled upon it and loved it. Burpees suck!! But I can do one a day, then add one more, then another. Baby steps. I can do this.... and maybe pull off a real push up some day!

:glasses:

Best diagram I could find From standing position, squat down. Jump your legs back into a push up position. (If you can't "jump" them back, just put them back one at a time and work on the "jump" action.) Do a push up. Any style push up you can do here is acceptable. You'll build muscle and endurance. Jump your legs…

Met at least 7 MFPers in person, all over the eastern seaboard, after becoming great friends via email and FB with about a dozen. Only had one that crossed into FB that had to go, and I hated it, but it was someone who was always "debating" my politics and views on everything, and I don't like that ish. All these…

No one else is excited it's Friday?

HAPPY FRIDAY! I truly do love Lucy :heart: Did anyone else immediately start singing along with Peter Griffin? No? Yeah, neither did I .... dun dun, dun-dun-dun-dun-dun

Madam :wink: ... and I sure did! I thought of you and went, "Yup, time to do Day One".

I like this. I like this very much. :drinker: Keep it up!!! I'm thinking about doing a damn burpee tonight now! :flowerforyou:

Well, I'll tell you what I did... I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive, carved my name into his leather seats... I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights, slashed a hole in all 4 tires... Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

The last time I was in shape and at a decent weight and was running, I found myself cutting back on cigarettes simply because I could tell a difference in my run time. I was PISSED that I couldn't burn the calories and run the same distance or time because I'd had a smoke a few hours before the gym. I naturally tapered off…

Sounds like a great choice!!! Best wishes and I hope you feel better soon! :flowerforyou:

This. *sigh of relief* It's not just me! I am officially a part of a group of lunatics! SUPPORT GROUP HUG!!!!!!

bwahahahahah!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Cannot WAIT to see a clown bride!!!

Android user, tons of problems. Mozilla, amazing wait times between button click and action occurring. Emails with "%username commented..." Lots of issues. Also saw the newly updated android app is coming out. Someone posted a link earlier... just glitchy right now. I'm stuck through a relationship with worse glitches than…

I appreciate your kindly worded post, but stress doesn't make you think about driving your car into an overpass support post, going into a swimming pool and never surfacing, or stand on the edge of a drop off and hope your balance fails you so it was an accidental death. Depression is real and true. It makes you think that…

Maybe a reasonable comparison here would be Type I Diabetes versus Type II Diabetes. While diet impacts both, one can be controlled while the other tends to run rampant and do as it pleases.

I am dying laughing :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I am also glad to know it's a true disorder and I'm not just a heinous b***h! My boss will occasionally sit in his office and eat lunch. I can hear him chewing loudly, slurping, slopping, smacking, with his mouth open. My stomach is turning at the thought of it and he's not even…

Bwahahahaha!!! COMPLETELY ACCEPTABLE!

In regards to the comments about weight loss.... My best friend and I decided we'd both rather be fat and happy than skinny and dead. My weight gain didn't come with the medication, it came from stress and my own carelessness. It was almost impossible to lose weight (once gained) while on my last medication. Again --…

Without my antidepressants, I would have surely committed suicide years ago. They can take away the gray clouds and allow you to see the sunlight that is all around you. It's like removing a layer of dirt from a car's windshield... it just helps remove a chemical 'funk' that is causing unnecessary pain. My first…

Seeing Tiesto was my dream and when he came around here 3 years ago, I seized the opportunity! BEST CONCERT, HANDS DOWN. I went in with dry clothing and freshly straightened, silky hair. I came out sopping wet, as thought I'd be swimming, wearing the sweat of every person around me and with my hair in perfect ringlets. My…

I love this damn thread. Strong women in male dominated fields. I work in finance... I called it The Boys Club. I don't do sports, I don't play golf, I don't keep up with the Wall Street Journal. If I wear slacks and a nice blouse with minimal jewelry, I blend. If I wear a skirt or dress or my "full face" makeup, I get…

I loved Pizza Mondays. It's only once a month. Relax a little, you guys. Or do you never eat pizza?? Push harder, burn more calories, enjoy a couple slices afterwards. We had Papa Johns. The veggie was fabulous and always plentiful, thanks to all the carnivores!!

^^ What they said. Cause I don't do science but that sounded really smart and well informed! :drinker: I don't know a damn thing about Monsanto or GM except everyone hates 'em. Personally, I think radiation from the microwave is what's killing everyone. Too bad I can rarely make a meal without using it in some way, shape…

Eminem's "Crazy in Love".

Depends on how much fat you have on you. Obese eating at or near a 50% calorie deficit burn fat first. Lean eating at or near a 50% calorie deficit burn lean muscle. I just started eating a 900-1000 calorie diet last week. My stress was unbelievable before, so my hair was falling out. In the past week, I have eaten less,…
