I have a victory to share and it also involves the tricep dips. I can now do 5 reps of my own body weight! lol I know that might sound pathetic to some, and you won't tell me that it is, but I think it's pretty good considering when i started. DX

Wasn't even a set! never got to 2! -------------- Scales are for dead weight: We are not dead yet! Still trying to find out how to do the Hollywood Free Press.

When I lose some pounds, I like to go visit the butter section at the grocery store when I'm doing groceries....so since I've lost about 15 lbs....I count off 15 of those fatty blobs of butter and think "Ha!...I managed to peel that off my body!" It's quite a jaw dropper when you can visually see it.
