Great job ZombieInkspot for earning MVP! I tried to give ya a run for your money but fell a little short on Saturday. We need to win next week so we can add that crazy dude that smashed all those zombies.... can't remember his name right now. Looks like he is gonna be one heck of a zombie slayer!

Kim mentioned she has a plan for the week, how about everyone else? I'm going to all of the classes I can at the gym as usual and I want to bump up my jogging a bit. Hoping for a good loss this week:bigsmile:

Thanks! You certainly did give me a run for my money! :happy:

Yes, we have to get Abraham, so we all need to work extra hard this week! I'm going to keep going with strength training, 30 day shred, walking, kickboxing and I might add in some wii to up my combat training this week (up to 60 mins). Team, let me know what your plans are for the week. I will add in more minutes to help you out if needed!

We can do this! Go team Carl!!

So wall sits and wall squats are essentially the same? Does anyone know the benefits of squatting facing the wall? Is it to make sure you keep proper form?

Do we have to do the full five minutes in one wall sit? :sad: The longest I've ever done was 120secs and that HURT! I was going to do 30 secs, break, 30 secs etc for 5 mins. I suppose I could do five one minute ones as well. :grumble:

Hey everybody! I managed to hit all of my goals last week (didn't think I would) I will be able to hit all of my goals easily this week and I agree we need to get Abraham! That means we need to get first place this week!

Hot damn, Cindy really upped the anti with adding the extra character for the top winners next week.

I am going to do whatever I can to contribute as much as possible.

Its Juan Pablo Monday so I will be getting in some strength training and wall sits while I watch tv tonight.
I am going to get in t25 in the morning and put in as much time each night as I can.

I promise I will be super active on our thread too.... I think staying active in our conversations and sharing tips will help us all stay motivated.

I know, Cindy is really dangling an extra juicy carrot, isn't she! :laugh:

That sounds like a great plan, Bridget. I think if we all checked in everyday it would help keep us motivated and it will make it easier to help each other out, if needed.

I agree, or at least have people update the spreadsheet so we know where everybody is at

Lol, your the best Momma ever Kim!

Thanks The Dazzler, we love you all in team Michonne too! :flowerforyou:

Wow Kim! That was some day. I am so impressed you managed to keep going.

Kasi and Kat - you are both rocking it this week! Kasi - I am so impressed by your wall sits! :drinker:

Bridget - don't forget to update the spreadsheet so we can see how the team is doing.

Arzu and Jessica - are you there? Please check in!

Ok, here is the mini autobiography of Zombieinkpot

I was a very hyperactive and skinny child. I can still remember what it felt like to hula hoop for hours, do the splits effortlessly and scratch my face with my feet. This all changed when I hit 4 and, practically overnight put on a huge amount of weight and lost all my energy. I would discover in my 20's that this was because I'm growth hormone deficient (I have none).

Anyway, was sick for most of my life. Put on lots of weight. Started binge eating in secret when I was seven (also went on my first diet then). Lost and gained weight over the years. My sister took me to weight watchers when I was 15. It was great, it wasn't the point system then so I got to like lots of fruits and veggies that I had never eaten before. I went from about 18st (252lbs) to about 12st (168lbs) in a couple of years. Then my dad got sick and I helped my mum nurse him, and I put on all the weight I'd lost and more helping to look after him, topping out at 21st (294lbs). I started losing weight again after that and got stuck around 17st (238lbs) for a few years, before the weight started creeping up once more.

After my dad died, I went to a nutritional therapist who helped me with my issues with food and I started losing weight again. Life was really good and I was about 15st (210lbs) when I got clinically depressed and put on 70 - 100lbs in under six months. In the past five years of being depressed, my weight has increased by an average of 2st (28lbs) every year, until last year when I reached 29st (over 400lbs). I now care for my mother, who has Alzheimer's and can't walk, and I realised that I would no longer be able to care for her if things continued as they were going.

My sister recommended MFP and I've been using it to lose weight since last October. I'm lucky because I have a lot of nutritional information and I know what works for my body because of the nutritional therapist. I've also learned a lot from MFP about strength training and challenges like this are fantastic fun.
