Who all is still doing pushups? I dont even necessarily mean keeping up with the actual challenge (but that would be cool). I mean just doing them. It is the "pushup challenge thread" after all.....  :raises hand: There's one. Haven't checked in here in a while. I am still doing pushups in my weekly gym classes btu not the 1 for each day of the year. Today in bootcamp, we did weird pushups. One arm was up on the step bench and the other on the floor. I think I said the F word with every rep on each arm. Either the F word or some sort or squeaky grunt. I've gained three pounds (naked weight) but I'm guessing I've gained at least 5 in muscle  Weddign dress gets altered in a month...Good thing it's sleeveless cuz these guns wouldnt fit!  (kidding, still skinny)

(kidding, still skinny) That style can be pretty rough! Part of my T-Th-S rotation is 25 of those for each arm. Originally I wanted to to them on a medicine ball to add stability into the mix, but it was pretty rough on my wrists and I wasn't able to do too many. Mani, I don't post a bunch of self-pics on FB, I'm not like that! I don't think you could make any distinction from the original one I posted to what I might currently post, since you couldn't really tell anything from that one except that my floor smells good.

I am still doing the daily pushups (and equal numbers of crunches/situps). I've fallen off the wagon twice for a couple days at a time, but picked back up and even did the "makeup" pushups that I missed (ouchie on those days). I have to break them up into several smaller sets throughout the day to get them done, but I am still plugging away. My planks are getting slightly longer, but still way unsteady/shaky. Tomorrow will be one month since I started working with my trainer: I go to the gym for my 1 month fitness assessment, weigh-in and tape measure of every part of my body. At WW meeting last night, I gained 1 pound, but my clothes are hanging off of me and I've moved down a pants size, so I think I'm losing fat and gaining muscle mass. Can't wait to see that "total inches lost" box filled in tomorrow night. I will post here on Friday morning.

But after college, you made time to shave your pits? That's a little weird...but I know the big muscley guys don't like to have hair getting in between their buffness and the onlookers, so I guess I can sort of understand it.

Dip...naked weight? And you posted pics? I hope I get there before someone hits "notify"! I'm still doing them every day, aside from two separate spills from the wagon. I think I've pre-made-up all the days (5 total in two spills from the wagon) and am feeling pretty good. I am taking monthly "progress" pics, and my March 1 pic is vastly different from my Jan 1 pic. I'm diggin' it.

There are clearly clothes in the pic, so let me crush your hopes and dreams right now!
But yes, now we all know she weighs naked! (But doesn't everyone? I know I do!)

The only way to get meaningful numbers for comparison is weigh on a decent, zeroed, scale, naked, in the morning before eating or drinking and after any "voiding" you might need to do. But a couple of times a week is plenty.
