I started out 45 lbs heavier then I am now back in August 2011. I started P90X and couldn't do ONE pull up. I could do MAYBE 10 push-ups. 8 months and a lot of blood, sweat and tears later, I just completed this circuit:

In 20 minutes how many reps of this circuit can you do:
2 pull-ups, then 3 push-ups, then 5 squats. (repeat)

I just did 39 reps in 20 minutes. That's
78 pull-ups
117 push-ups
195 squats

If I can do this in 8 months, so can you!

    That's awesome! Great job! I did insanity for almost 30 days last summer before I injured my ankle and had to stop - love the beachbody products!

    Great job! It doesn't take long but it does take DOING IT. I hear ya. When I was doing 30 day shred video and couldn't get past 2 push ups I just kept with it and did what I could and in a week I was doing 10 at once. I was shocked. Endurance raises pretty quickly too. I couldn't make it through all the jumping jacks at first and later I could have gone on after each time. :)

    Way to go! I'm still working on my food and eating and haven't gotten into the exercise part of my weight loss journey really yet. I do some walking but that's really it so far. Thanks for the encouragement, planning on getting out there first in the morn!
