First let me say, I'm new to joining groups and accepting challenges, so I may have a lot of questions along the way!
So....now the real introduction. I'm married, 27 years old, and currently live in Alabama. I love TWD and can't wait to start this challenge. I have lost 24lbs so far. I am on MFP daily logging, supporting, and motivating. I love to win and hate to lose....so let's do this!

Hey Everyone,
36yo mother of 2 boys, 6 and 9 started this site in order to drop the 28lbs gained after I quit smoking.
Have been bouncing around the 8-9 lbs lost.. trying to get into and stay in the double digits!
First time doing one of these challenges, so I apologize in advance if I have lots of questions, and such!
Looking forward to this!0 -
Hi everyone! My name is Kari! I just started a few days ago. I am 24 and trying to lose around 60 lbs. I am totally looking forward to this challenge. I am obsessed with the walking dead and this seems like a really great way to stay motivated since I am just starting out. I am excited! GO TEAM!0

Beginners will be the Winners (sorry, bad rhyme, but couldn't resist!).
I'm Julie, a 35 year old mom of two girls (4yo and almost 2yo). In my late 20s, after a childhood and early adulthood of being obese, I lost about 85 lbs and reached my weight goal. Then I put about 65 of it back on over the course of 2 pregnancies. Worth it, since I love my girls dearly, but I definitely wish I'd been more diligent in my weight maintenance! I have yoyo'd back and forth from about 190-215 in the last 5 years, depending on pregnancies and motivational levels, but this time I'm committed to kicking butt and getting back to the goal I'd worked so hard to attain before. I want to be a positive fitness and body-image role model for my girls, and there is no time like the present. (I also don't plan to have more kids, so the PG issue shouldn't be a factor anymore!).
My husband will be doing the challenges with me for extra moral support, though he's not on MFP. He and I are currently working our way through a couch-to-5K running program.0 -
Hey everyone!
My name is Kristy and I am 29yrs old, married with 2 fur-children only, no human babies just yet. This is not my first MFP challenge but the first time in the particular challenge which I am glad to have stumbled across since I am a HUGE Walking Dead fan.
I have lost 41.5lbs so far but would like to lose a total of 100.3lbs. So I have come far but still have a long way to go.
I am normally a very active person but am currently on injury restriction when it comes to fitness. I played roller derby for 4 years and as a result I destroyed my knee (my doctors words not mine) so needless to say I was forced to retire from the sport. I had my fourth knee surgery which was also my second ACL replacements all in my left knee in May 2014. This time they used a hamstring tendon as the graph so it is a lot harder on the healing process. Right now I cannot do much but I will do what I can. About 30lbs has been lost since my last surgery so i am hard working and not letting the limitations stop me; I will not disappoint!
Best of luck and lets kick some booty! :drinker:0 -
My name is Michelle and I am 42 yrs old. This is my first MFP challenge but I couldn't pass it up since I love TWD. I was also already trying to up my exercise. I am married and have a 19 yr old son who just recently moved out on his own, but that's okay, because I have two dogs - 50 lbs (a black lab) and 75 lbs (a golden dale) - who don't ever want to be away from me.0

Hi! I LOVE TWD and am so excited for this challenge!
I'm married to a handsome sailor and we just moved to Hawaii! We're original from Michigan so it's a nice (and warmer) change I've lost about 10lbs so far and have another 40 to go.
Feel free to send me a friend request! Let's kick butt!!0 -

what week are you on couck to 5k. i just finished week 30 -
I'm going beginner just because of how many challenges I signed up for starting this month. There other pnes you do on your own. So I'm glad to have found one where there will be fitness challenges.
I'm 34 from Long Island NY. I'm here for my health and to look great in my wedding dress.0 -
Hello~ this is my first TWD challenge, when I saw this posted I got so excited!
I'm 26, and in the span of three years went from a 130lbs runner and dancer to reaching my heaviest sometime last year at around 196, and have been bouncing around in the 190s since then. I made some significant lifestyle changes over a month ago, and weighed in at 189.5lbs this morning :bigsmile: So things are looking up! Long term goal is to keep being healthy and get back down to 130lbs, since I remember how awesome it felt.
Also, planning on counting how many times this season Rick will yell "CARL" :glasses:0 -
what week are you on couck to 5k. i just finished week 3
Week 7, for me. Due to do Day 3 tomorrow! I got off schedule when I was on a long weekend last week, so my day 1 no longer coincides with Monday. Annoying.
How are you liking it so far? My husband's doing it with me, and we had done it before, maybe 5-6 years ago. We had a really good experience with it actually working (I confess, as a non-runner before that, I was seriously shocked). I lost the magic with pregnancies/new mom scheduling, but at it again. Seems to be doing its magic this time, too! Though this time round I have more creaky joints and other signs of age setting in.
Just want to say that I'm proud of us all for making the commitment. I look forward to working hard along side all of you.0 -
Am I the only person who has not done a challenge at all before, and is quite nervous about what it will be like/entail?
I really have NO clue what to expect... and then I worry I may forget to check something, or do something.....0 -

I have never done a challenge before on MFP either, so no worries - we are in the same boat!0 -

Dont worry, challenges are fun and a great way to stay motivated to get off the couch during the week.0 -
Hey Everyone - I'm am super excited that this challenge is almost here (it was a LONG 7 months!!)
I've been on MFP for a while. I keep loosing and finding the same 10 lbs - and would like to ultimately loose 25 and keep it off for good. I had a hysterectomy in April and am just about back to my cardio endurance levels. We'll see what I can muster for the strength challenges.
A big thanks to Cindy and TJ for their hard work on this for us

Hey everyone!
I am super stoked for the show to be back on! I have not done a Walking Dead Challenge before, but have participated in other challenges. I keep gaining and losing the same little bit so I am trying to get over this hurdle. My fitness level varies, so I figured I would start at the lowest and see what happens.
I cannot wait to work with you guys. I am all for Team Carol!0 -
Oh, yes, it occurs to me that I didn't say my team! I'm team Carl. Pudding, anyone?
I saw that people in the Intermediate/Advanced teams were all friending each other on MFP so that they can follow everyone's progress and provide encouragement (or friendly butt kicking!) to their teammates. Do we want to do the same? I think everyone here should post their consent to friending here, if they like that idea. I'm down with being added as a friend for more motivation and teamwork!
Today, I officially weighed in under 200lbs for the first time in a while. Feeling good and wanted to share my little victory with you all!

Hey! This sounds like a great challenge. I am participating in one other, but its only a weight loss challenge. This will be my first fitness challenge. I am pretty good with cardio, but look forward to the extra incentive to add some strength training. I have lost 40 lbs and am halfway to my goal weight. I hope this challenge will help push me through the upcoming holidays

Hi all! I'm Jamie, 27years old. This is my first challenge like this, so we'll see how it goes! Oh and I'm Team Daryl, all the way. Please feel free to friend me as well! 0

Hello everyone! I've been on MFP for awhile, but like many of you, this is my first challenge. I mainly use MFP for logging and I don't really post on the forums or accept friends (please don't be offended!), but I saw this challenge and thought it might help me get active again. And I love TWD!
After moving & changing jobs within the last 4 months, my routine has disappeared and I am officially back to beginner status
Previously, I was a runner and bellydancer and I love strength training and have my own weight bench, free weights, dumbbells, and pullup tower at home--so I really have no excuses! I will likely be posting my results on Fridays because of my highly unpredictable weekend schedule (yay for being on-call).
I'm Team Beth, in case it isn't obvious I am really interested to find out where she's been and what will happen with her this season! (And let's face it, Daryl loves her.) 0 -

This will be my first challenge as well! I'm kind of nervous about it for the same reasons too! I guess that's why it's important for us to all work together. So for everyone reading, if I miss something or haven't logged something please message me because I probably don't realize I should be, but hopefully I'll have a good handle on everything and will be able to know where and how to log challenges, punishments, etc. Honestly, I am the most worried about strength training. I have only been doing cardio since I joined MFP and strength training will definitely be a challenge for me! A challenge I gladly accept!
Anyone else new to strength training?
Can I just quickly say...I love the new forum changes! 0
