Suejs,

I noticed you took about a month to get from 45 to 75. Jeff and others seemed to have jumped to the 100's pretty quick. I've been more like you and kinda stuck. What did you do in that month to get from 45 to 75? Was it a few degrees at a time? Or was there one week where you made all the progress?
