Hi - this is my first time doing this. Have taught in the past, and have two daughters. Psyched for the challenge...
My three goals are:
1.) log every day
2.) stay within calorie goal 6/7 days
3.) hit the gym 4 days a week.
Looking forward to it. Go teachers!

Okay Guys, Girls and Undead, we're coming down to the start of the challenge.
The Horde will gather tomorrow and begin planning their first attacks: who/where/what. Their decisions will be based on the pilot episode and on the strengths and weaknesses they see in each team throughout this first week. Their attacks or challenges will be posted early next Monday, August 30th. Each team will have unique challenges to overcome and each individual MUST meet their own goals.
For this week, I will post the initial challenge after the show tonight and it will apply to ALL the teams, including the Horde.
It will be a basic Fit Test as well as a challenge video that is a favourite among past participants of out Walking Dead challenges. As always, please ask for alternatives if you have an injury and modify the workout to your fitness level. I will post again here when it is up. Questions?0 -
Members list should be up to date now if everyone wants to make sure they are on there and on the right team. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10234629/members-list-updated-weekly0

This sounds like so much fun! And I've been looking forward to the new spin off. Hope it's not too late to join up with the teachers team.

Weekly goals for this challenge would be:
1. Stay under weekly net calorie goal
2. Walk the dogs daily
3. 3 days of pushup/squat/crunch challenge
SW is 203

Week One Challenge is posted! http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10234628/week-one-challenge?new=10

Just did part 1 of the challenge, the fitness test. Word of warning to my teammates, IMHO, part1and part 2 of this challenge should be done on separate days, ideally with a rest day in between. The fitness test requires squats with no weights till failure. Ouch! My thighs are buzzing two hours later. I seriously doubt I could get through the Sally squats video today. So don't wait till the last minute to get this done!0

PS Go Teachers!!!!0

Thanks for the word of warning @goldthistime!! I have plans to do mine tomorrow!
Btw...did I miss the introduction to the team leader? Not sure who it is0 -
We're still getting our ducks in a row, but there's myself for the Horde and Sara Alexandre will be doing the First Responders. Other experienced Walking Dead Challenge leaders are tj1376, Angimom and DouMc who will all be able to answer your questions. I believe tj1376 will be leading the Teens. Not sure who you guys have but we'll figure it out, lol.0

Gonna hit the fitness test today and then locate the dead body in my son's room.
So, I was looking at my previous post, and I guess I just still feel fatter, cause my start weight is actually 193 lol. My head ain't made it to onederland yet.0 -

Did you find that dead body?
It's two days since the fitness test and my quads are still hurting! Who does squats to failure?
Here are the results of my fitness test:
run/walk 1 mile: 14:23
half pushups: 10
squats: 90
plank: 33s
flexibility: -13
Going to try the squat video later today. Hope my quads don't break.

Ach mein Gott! I used an empty bar so I could feel like a champion (12.5lbs), and stayed with our German Adonis. Sorta. I had to choose between squatting on tip toes only to get down to where he did, or remain partially upright (see my miserable flexibility score above).0

Hi team. I'm so sorry but I'll be joining the horde. I run 31 km this week and had a deficitbut didn't get to strength training or the challenges. First week back at school being a teacher in real life kinda exhausted me. See you on the flip side maybe?
