This may not seem like alot for some but ive been telling everyone for a while that one of my first big goals is to be able to do a pullup. I havent done a single pullup in my whole life and i said i'd never be able to (wasnt strong and weighed so much).

After 2 months of strength training and a healthy lifestyle tonight I managed 1.5 full pullups!!! And I weigh 255lbs so that means my strength training really is doing wonders. I thought i'd be at least 220 before i could manage it.

Now the next goal, 5. then 10, then 20, then 5 weighted...

Just started P90X today so its excellent timing :)

    No, I'd call that a big one.

    Great NSV, both physical and symbolic.

    Keep it up. They'll get easier and easier the stronger you get and the less you weigh.

    That's really great. I'm working on being able to do pull-ups too.

    I want to be like Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2.

    Once you can do one, the rest will come - that's my experience - especially if you do p90x. I got up to 15 at one point, when I was doing p90x... and I had never done one in my life until that point either.

    Congrats!
