I know its not a lot, but its been years since I've done one. Several weeks ago, before I started working out again, I attempted to do one and fell flat. For the last week or so I've been doing partial pushups, about 1/3 of the way down.

A little while ago, I felt invigorated after drinking some carrot juice (never happened before), and I thought, "I can do a push up". So I got down on the floor and tried. I only had enough in me to get one full push up done. I'm super excited. My next official weigh in is tomorrow and I can't wait to see if the scale has moved.

Hooray for small victories.

That is terrific 427pounder!!!

Push ups are HARD! HARD! HARD!

I've been working out awhile, and on a good day, with proper form I can crank out 12-14.

Most days, 10 is a struggle and it took me about 9 months to get to that. I started out thinking I would die after 2! And I'm pretty sure my form was pathetic!

Congratulations!

I could not do one of those. Well done!

That is just great. You've given me a real lift with your accomplishment.

Alright--you're killing me with the juice ;-)--but congrats on the pushup!! That IS a really big deal!! It took me a really long time to build up to one, on Jillian Michaels workouts.

I can not do one of those, I do plank when its push up time in group exercise

Super yay!

Dude - at your size one pushup is impressive.

If you want to see how much weight you're pushing up get into a pushup postion and put your hands on the scale. Depending on where you hold your fat you could be pushing up 300lbs. I couldn't do that once.

Push ups are hard! Good for you!

Way to go! I haven't tried a push up in a long time. Getting down on the floor is very painful for me, so I avoid floor exercises.

Good for you! I still can't do a real push-up. I do the modified version on my knees, and even those I can only do 10 or 15 at a time. I need more upper body strength.

I don't even think I can do a push-up. Congrats!

I have never been able to do a push up LOL. AWESOME! GRATS

I can't even do a girl push-up, how bad is that??

Congrats on your accomplishment, can't wait to read when you do 2.
