Hi there! :] I'm Abby. I picked Team Daryl.

Just a lil about me. I'm 5'8, I started out at 410 lbs and am down somewhere around 330 now. I've been up and down the last couple weeks and needed something to motivate me to get back into it. I LOVE THE WALKING DEAD! And so excited about the season premiere and this challenge >:D

Hey guys!! I'm Lisa huge WD fan but who isn't right? I did team Beth beginner last ye so I'm going to try my hand at the intermediate level this yr. I sm soo excited

Hey Intermediate team!

I'm Lisa, and was part of a challenge a couple years ago and loved it....lost my motivation after it ended and quit trying (but- I did keep off the 20# I originally lost!)

I'm back at it...been sick the last week and fell off my schedule, but back to the gym I go today

I sure look forward to the return of TWD next weekend and am very excited for this challenge to start!

:flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :drinker:

LET'S GO TEAM!!

ETA-- I went with team Rick...it appears he has very few admirers?!?!?!

Hello everyone, I'm Sara and I have been part of these fitness challenges for the last few years starting with an original zombie fitness challenge. I'm picking team Carol because she is my idol. I do however love Michone and the rest of the gang too. I chose intermediate because I'm having some knee issues and can't do high impact. I did the last walking dead challenge and captained the winning team! I did however gain about 20 plus lbs back from a change in careers and stress. I'm ready to shred the lbs and get back into gear. I'm 43, a medical assistant and a mom of 2 young adults. Let's rock this challenge and have a great time doing it.

Yea !!!! I am so glad your in here with me SaraAlexandre

@Gorgie, glad to be on your team! @redwood, strength training(as I have learned the hard way) really puts you over the edge in weight loss. I was stuck for over a year at the same weight. Then started lifting heavier weights and that was the key. I dropped 10 lbs. It can be done! You will love it!

Hi all!! I'm happy to join you guys on this challenge (my first challenge too haha)

I'm 25 and 5'3, want to lose about 20-25lbs to get down to my ideal weight, it's gonna be fun and hard, but I'm very much enjoying the process. Currently I'm on this high protein, low fat, low carb diet, but I may be going back to the balanced diet just with calorie/portion control and everyday exercise.

I went through and added everyone that has posted in this thread so far! I hope you all accept! I think it would be great if we could follow each other daily and help keep each other on track. We are all here to help each other help ourselves!! We can do this!! I believe in you all!

If I missed you, or you post after me and happen to see this message, please please please send me a friend request just letting me know you are on this team! I will gladly accept!!

Hi I'm Jo and so excited for this to begin (along with the new season!). I did the challenge last time and it was the best challenge I ever did. I chose Carol because I think she is kick *kitten*!

I just turned 50 and have lost my mojo somehow and so I'm looking for it again. I believe in feeding my body and working out to make it look toned and healthy. But with the hormonal fluctuations that come with my age I've had a hard time losing this time around. I do the Zombie Run app to run with (well ok sometimes its a nice brisk walk) but the zombie chases help me to boost my heart rate. I have done weight lifting off and on and really need to try to get that back on my schedule.

I also broke down and ordered the 21 day fix from Beachbody which should arrive just in time to start with the challenge. I am the type of person that needs to shake things up a bit and try different things so I thought the 21 day fix would be a perfect switch. I am not doing it with the Shakeology because I tried it before and I didn't like the taste and I am the type that will not use if it I don't like it. I do make my own protein shakes with Jay Robb Protein powder though.

Please friend request me and let's kick some major butt in this challenge!

Hi intermediates!
I am on team Michonne, because I love her bad-assery. Carol would be my second choice.

A few things my teammies may want to know about me:
Although I'm a long-time member of MFP, this is the first time I have participated in a challenge or joined a group, so I am still learning how to navigate around smoothly.
I'm a zombie assassin :devil: I've seen all the bad B-flick zombie movies, studied zombie documentaries, and even studies on medical evidence of zombification. We are doomsday preppers also, so my sci-fi niche fits well into my real life. I have no patience for zombie-sympathizers. :indifferent:
On a more serious note, I am extremely busy (read overwhelmed) this year, so if I seem quiet, please feel free to message me. A private message on MFP sends a notification to my phone, so it's kind of like tapping me on the shoulder. I'm working 2 jobs and doing prep-work for my PhD, along with establishing my commune and raising a dozen animals and a huge garden. As if that weren't enough, I am also getting married for the first time ever in just 4 weeks.
Unfortunately all of this puts me in a position where I am more needy than supportive and I feel really bad about that. I'm usually a good motivation and a rock for others, but it seems like the more 2014 progresses, the more I am in need of reminders and support from others. :sad:
I am very happy to accept friend requests. I don't have a whole lot of time to comment on feeds, but I do make a point of going through a few times a week and "liking" the things that inspire me and occasionally posting smiley faces.
Once 2015 gets here and I have completed some of the stuff currently on my plate, I hope to once again become the matriarchal woman who inspires, motivates and strengthens others.

Wow - I am tired just reading this! I am also a huge zombie movie/documentary person. Actually most Sci-Fi or Futuristic shows.

Hello all! My name is Lara. This is my second Walking Dead challenge, the last one was just too great to not sign up again! I have not been doing well in my weight loss since the last challenge. In fact, I gained most of what I lost back. I accept that and am ready for the new encouragement and motivation from this challenge to start again. I work in Law Enforcement and have crazy hours. On top of that, I have recently started a second job at a sporting goods store. I can't wait to get to know all of you and am super excited to get this challenge started, and to watch the show again of course!

Oh, and I chose Carol because she is a BA. She does what she needs to do to survive, but also keeps it real. I can't wait for this season!

Hey everyone! My name is Jessie (no, it is NOT short for Jessica!) and this is my first time joining a WD challenge! I had no idea there was one last year! Argh! I'm 5'2 1/2"-5'3", 25 years old, and I'm from Detroit, MI. I've been struggling with my weight for years, and I've reached my highest weight in August around 396.6lbs! I'm currently 390.6lbs because I've been struggling a tiny bit to be motivated due to the weather, my walking DVD feeling like it's killing me, life in general, ect.

I'm currently signed up on Nerd Fitness in the Academy program so I've been following along with strength training program from there And thanks to a warm-up routine from there I don't feel like my calves are gonna explode because of my walking DVD! I would walk around the park in my neighborhood, but there are too many shady people that park along the side streets, plus I was almost attacked by a few dogs that live in a poorly fenced yard and roam around the park! On a positive note: I just graduated yesterday from Dorsey Schools and I'm currently trying to find a job as a Dialysis PCT

What up fellow zomdie killers. I'm Darin and glad to be here again. It is gonna be an insane season I'm sure. Glenn is the man, he can get anything. I relate most to him now that Shane is gone. Looking forward to some intense action. Let's rock it. Glad to see some of my friends here. What up Sara!!! Anyone can add me if you like.
