Weight-Loss One Hundred Push-ups Challenge (Official Thread)

Weight-Loss
Hi Jaicelle!

Welcome! It's never too late to join this challenge. I think you will see good progress just by keeping up with the suggested workouts on the 100 push-up site.

Good luck!
 
Ok, so all this time, I thought they meant, do as many as you could at one time, I probably could have been doing more even after I had collapsed to the ground...hehe. Even so, I did my test for week 3 and could only squeak out 13; though, 16 is suggested to move on. I figure now, I'm going to switch to the modified ("girl") push-ups and redo the test for week 3 tomorrow. I don't want to have super arm muscles anyway. :9

I see some progress, guys! Keep it up!
 
Beckie, I'm glad I read your post, I would've just moved on to week 3! I need to go see how many I can do w/o stopping, but it will be on the knees as that's how I've been doing them (except for the initial test.)

Good luck everyone with week 3!

TTFN!
 
Just finished 25 straight through (on my knees.) I probably could've done one more, but my arms were really shaking the last 2. I can tell I'm getting stronger.

Off to workout!
 
I finished my week 1 and my max at the end was 15!! I'm so excited. I went from barely doing 3 to doing 15 full body push ups (and I was also shaking by my last two)! I'm so glad I decided to join this challenge.
 
id join, but im fully capable now of hitting 100 pushups in one sitting now.. but b4 i woulda never. you all can do it!! keep working hard!!!!!
 
I won't be able to do any push-ups for a couple days or maybe even for the whole week. I'm getting ready to go get my wisdom teeth pulled! Ahhh! Wish me luck! I hope everyone has a great week....do some extra push-ups for me!!!

That's pretty cool.

If you go to the website it does give some tips if you're already doing 100 - like trying them on your knuckles, etc.

Awe man, that sucks. I do hope it all goes well. Do everything exactly the way the doc tells ya. I ended up having a dry socket when I had mine done. I did think I followed all of the rules too. But, I don't know, it doesn't take much it seems.

I'll do a few extra for you! :)
 
Hey everyone! :waving:

My original intent for this challenge was to include mini-challenges in between the push-up days. However, I'm finding that I just don't have enough time to get in here and make-up challenges.

Sorry....

I would encourage you to do push-ups to the max so that your arms are shaking and you can't do anymore when you get to the last one!

It's wonderful to hear about everyone's progress.

Keep it up!! :hurray::hurray:
 
Hello my challenge buddies!

I slacked off for a bit *pout*, now I'm back. I can't make up my mind if I wanna start over or try to play catch up, especially since I'm thinking about switching to "Lady" Push-ups.

I think I wanna start over. Sweatpea, I hope you don't mind if I steal...uh I mean borrow your format and tuck it under my diary to start over lol.

How is everyone else doing?

Best of luck everyone.

That's fine.

I actually didn't have a great week for push-ups, I only did them 2 days this past week.
 
How's everyone doing?

I know the past week was a very busy one for me so I didn't have time to get in my push-ups.

I did do a maximum of 51 last night though.
 
Hi there, I'm good. Didn't realize how much I sucked at push-ups until I tried some last night. I got around 50 done by taking breaks between every 10.
 
Hey everyone!

How is it going? I'm totally sucking at the push-ups this week. So far I've gotten in a big fat zero!

I think I'm going to have to do week 3 over - or squeeze it all in by Sunday! LOL

Have a great weekend!
