So today out of curiosity I took out a pull-up bar that had been gathering dust for a while and hung it up on my door. I dangled from it for a few seconds, and then did TWO HANGING PULL-UPS IN A ROW!!!!!! A few months ago I could only do one by jumping! I guess losing weight gave my arms less to pull... :)

    You're doing it the hard way, which may result in an injury. Use an assisted pullup machine or a lat pulldown machine till you have the proper strength for pullup.

    Nice going!
    It feels good to actually see and feel progress.
    Keep up the great work!
