Yes I do include the pushup when I do them!

Weighed myself today and lost another pound down to 213. I have a feeling that this coming week is gonna be good I am hoping for at least a 3 pound loss. Wish me luck!

You WILL do it, You CAN do it, You ARE it

hey, everyone, yes I am still around. Sorry for the lack of updates but I have been going through a not so fun family situation although that situation has helped to fuel some really good workouts. I really do feel stronger. My 3 nieces were over to visit and they saw me working out and challenged me to do some pushups with all 3 of them plus my daughter on my back. Their weights are 65lbs, 65lbs, 29lbs and my girl is 25 lbs. Well, once they got situated with much grunting I was able to do 8 pushups. There is no way I would have been able to do that before. I did not make my goal of a 3lb loss but I did make 2 pounds so that doubled my previous weeks efforts so I am not that upset by it.

WOAH good going man! That is one way of working out! Excellent!!!

Be patient with the weight loss, it will happen so keep on working as you are. The fact that you know you would not have been able to do those push-ups before you started means that you can definatly see a improvement in your physical ability - which is a huge bonus! Just imagine what it will be like after the whole 16?

Talk about lack of dumbells...

Anyways, Sean is right man. I personally believe than an increase in your physical ability (like be able to do 10more pushups than before) is a lot more important than loosing a few pounds or anything, because being able to do more reps means that you will have the energy and strength to push harder on your workouts wich will eventually get that fat out and get bigger, stronger muscles. In other words, your doing it just fine bro Keep it up!
