thanks so much for sharing with us! you actually inspired me to get off the chair and get to the floor and try it myself. you see, i thought i couldn't do one, so i've been doing those knee-push-ups. so i got down on the floor and i did 10 (TEN) of them! now i'll get stronger faster all thanks to you! who knows when i'd finally try to do a real push-up if it wasnt for you! ^^
i think it's great when people can inspire those around. i hope that my weight loss will let somebody at my work know that they CAN do it too. i think the way these 30lb changed me is starting to move one of my colleagues to the healthier life. i keep my fingers crossed that i'll inspire someone to change ^^

Congrats on the pushup!

You inspired me to try...good thing I live alone because it was sad. I will have to stick to the "girly" pushups for now. I will join you eventually!

:lol:

I tried in front of my husband who can do them. I plunked face first on the first one and he totally gave me a pity look before saying "ok, we'll work on this um... later." He hasn't tried since. :p

My husband is in the AF so he can really crank em' out and it's so embarrasing trying to do them when he is around! He was glad to hear I can do one now though. :D

Guys and their upper body strength....SHEESH ;)

You wouldn't know it looking at my hubs, though. Grrrr. You can totally tell I lack any kind of arm strength. It's from my mom. Yeah. That's what it is. ;)

Yesterday, I did do some arm workouts because I don't like how flabby they're getting so maybe in time I'll be able to do a pushup too, yay!
