ebinmaine 70,207 #76 Posted March 17 Another accomplishment yesterday that I was pretty happy with. Late last year/early winter, I was able to do one single push-up but it was a massive effort and there were days when I just could not get a second one. Yesterday I did EIGHT. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I was in PT for my rotator cuff repairs last summer, they had me trying to do pushups off a counter height table. 10 of THOSE was my limit, and now, after more body breakage, I'm back to zero. Maybe, eventually. Your progress is impressive! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Follow your PT's advice (as I'm sure you already have) and you'll get back there... and better. 6 hours ago, kpinnc said: Congratulations and well done! Keep up the good work! 230 is my bleeping brick wall. I just can't seem to get past it. My goal is 225. One day dangit! That wall was why I doubled down and set to the intermittent fasting. I was doing the standard accepted calorie reduction. It was..... slow .....and stopped. Intermittent Fasting is an absolute game changer. STOP 🛑 ALL added sugars and any snacking. ALL of it. Eat real food twice per day. It takes a few weeks for most of us to get to a 16 to 19 hour daily period of no caloric intake. Don't rush that process. It isn't as simple as "just skip breakfast" for most people. I had to relearn my eating (grazing) patterns. FYI: Breakfast is NOT "the most important meal of the day". That's absolute hogwash. Literally an advertisement. Nothing more. Fasting is perfectly safe - and in fact highly advisable - for nearly everyone. Especially Type 2 diabetics and Pre diabetics. It can actually help reverse and eliminate those. Fasting also helps eliminate the loose skin of lost weight by autophagy. There are many more benefits.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
