So here's some background: I'm a 17 year old male who has never really ever done any significant exercise besides gym class if that even counts. I was around 255 last August and had been hanging around 180 or so for the last couple months after losing motivation. I had and still kinda do have a lot of mostly stomach fat left and have virtually no real muscle.
Within the last few weeks I got my motivation reinvigorated and on top of continuing some Intermittent Fasting and eating a bit more better, I've started some basic Calisthenics. For me it has mostly just consisted of doing about 10 wall push-ups, 10 sit-ups, Planks until failure and some squats. I'd cycle through each one and would do them repeatedly until I got overly tired. At times doing a little less as I got tired when I first started. Alongside this I've been using my standing Elliptical for between 30 minutes to 1 hour aiming for it being an almost daily routine alongside the Calisthenics.
After working on all this for a few weeks I hadn't fully noticed that it was getting somewhat easier. Until today at least. After I attempted a few REAL push-ups I realized I have gotten a bit stronger already and I am just completely happy! I can't remember the last time I was capable of ever doing even one single Push-up!
This is my first time posting on here. I only posted because I've never been so excited and proud of myself at the same time for something. I just felt like I needed to share it somewhere and to potentially even inspire others to just keep going even if you don't immediately notice a difference. These things take time. You may not see a difference for a few days or weeks. But the results will show eventually and once they do you will feel so great about yourself!
TLDR: I can't remember the last time I could do even one single Push-up. The fact that I can finally do one has made me so happy!
