So - I haven't had a lot of success on the scale. I'm about 10-15 lbs from my goal weight, but i'm also trying to focus on my strength! Yesterday I did 25 big-girl pushups (on my toes). :) I was so excited! I've been working my way up to this for a few weeks adding one or two additional pushups a day.

    Impressive!

    I've had success with the scale but not with big girl pushups so I tip my hat to you.

    That is awesome! :drinker: :drinker: Doing big girl push ups is a goal of mine. Right now I am only getting about halfway down but it is more than I could do a year ago.

    WTG! I stink at upper body strength! Added lifting recently and hoping that will help. That is VERY impressive :)

    I believe she's just meaning standard push ups, on your toes, rather than "girl push ups" on your knees.
