100 Push Up Challenge / Diet thread

[DannyMan2006]

Right i managed 6 today but i'm a bit unsure if im doing them right.

Do you have to touch your nose to the floor or just get your arms to bend at a right angle?

I'll be doing 100 before breakfast in no time

Arm at right angle, nose only touching floor if it's a foot long or something...........

I did the initial challenge today and got 26 best effort. Start the test proper on Monday.

Be interesting to see who can keep it up and get to 100! I'm starting with best intentions, but never seem to keep going!

26 is bloody good going. I think 12 is the most I've ever managed - of all exercises I've always found push-ups the hardest.

Think I'll have a look at this programme.

Always been the case for me. Even when I was as fit as anything I still only ever got a maximum of 50 best ever. Be delighted if I hit 100!

Started week one today. It suggested to start on week 3 with 26, but what with me having done no exercise for a LONG time I thought best to start at week 1, in column three.

It was the right choice methinks as I didn't find it as easy as I'd have liked. What with running now on the other days I guess I'm just not used to it. Feeling determined though!

Well I did not do the push up challenge but today I am finishing a strict Atkins Induction 14 day program and the wieght has just dropped off me. I have not weighted myself yet, will do that tonight at midnight when its over .. but **** me regardless of the wieght .. the visiable effects of just 14 days are amazing ..

Anybody looking to lose a few pounds .. I cant reccomend it more

Big Omllette Mushrooms Bacon and Cheese for Breaky
Fired Chickern and Salad for lunch
Some kind of Meat and Salad for lunch
Drink plenty of water
No Alchol
do this for 14 days and you lose at least 3 to 4 KG maybe more

Seriously - give us a bit more info on this, how did you find it, was it easy, did u feel tired or hungry during the day

I would like to shift a bit of weight off, nothing silly but i reckon that would be ideal for me - esp know that the footie season is coming to an end so I won't be playing as much - on paper it looks tooo easy - for starters, i like all the food above etc - my main concern tho is 'snacking' and NO ALCOHOL - with out trying to be a pain in the arse, could u give us a bit of run through on what u did, how u coped etc.

[wiw]

I'm doing the first 2 weeks of Atkins at the moment funnily enough. It's just strictly no carbs whatsoever basically so you burn fat instead of carbs/sugar. No coffee, alcohol or really any fruit though. No alcohol is going to be a killer for me

At first or for a few days you might feel a bit off but it's cos you're withdrawing from sugar and all that ****e. After a week or so you'll feel good

hmmm - interesting

Any good sites etc for this program - just to try and give me an idea.

I reckon on paper i could do it - i have seen some example meals like above and think i would be fine - for me though it would be the commitment and getting into the routine that i would find most difficult!! Other than turning up for work and football on time I have zero routine in my life, i just basically eat/drink what i want when i am hungry/thirsty - so breaking those habits and sticking to a routine I rekcon I would find difficult!! but it is only for 2weeks!!! surely i can do that.

Oh and the alcohol haha - i will struggle with that,

Are you doing it to lose weight, or for general health reasons? Because you don't need to lose weight

The former sadly..I've put on about 10 lbs over the last few months

[wiw]

**** no coffee or fruit!!

I think you can't drink coffee..I'm not sure, I read it somewhere so decided not to just in case. You've gotta drink 1.5/2 litres of water a day as well

**** - the stop taking part - well thats basically my whole diet! hahahaha

See i'd say 4/5 times a week i will have pasta with some sort of meat and i also add peppers and tomatoes to it so thats a blow

On the plus side - i am quite happy eating all the stuff on the things to eat list.

What i need is a shopping list of what to buy for the two weeks and then a set program laid out - ie

Mon - breakfast scrambled eggs, lunch prawn salad, tea steak and salad etc etc
