I was told by Cindy that it is both. Which still confused me. But then I saw the results. Guess it is not really by character as it was last time. Wish I had been told when I asked about setting up a thread for team Daryl. So if you do not want to post here any longer I totally get it. Daryl is still awesome. And I would still help out any of you no matter your levels.
Kiele looks like we got burpees. Muahaha

Be careful what you wish for eh!!! Lol0

We are primarily split by our level (beginner, intermediate, advanced). Our characters determine what challenge we complete.
My name is Tiffany by the way. I was excused last week due to a death in the family. I will be participating this week! I'm Team Daryl - Intermediate. This is my second TWD challenge. I have a desk job that makes it almost impossible to keep my fitbit happy! I treadmill almost every day. I hate strength training from home (love it at the gym, but I'm not a member anywhere)! I have been overweight for most of life. I started MFP in late August 2014. I have lost approximately 53lbs (which I think is pretty good considering I did not diet or exercise from Nov 24-Jan 12). Never give up! Oh, and Daryl is H.O.T.

Tiffany so sorry to hear that. Glad to have you back though. I also use a treadmill often. I workout at home. Have a fairly decent workout area. Bowflex, weight bench, free weights, stepper, dip machine, workout television, bands, aerobic weighted bars, kettle bells. More DVD' s than I could use in a year. I collected them over years. I just do not have time for a gym. 53 pounds lost is awesome. Keep looking for a weight routine you might like.
Kiele good thing I like burpees. Did we wish for them? Yep, we did.
Love your snooze alarm. Lol

Daryl Dixon's Earthworm Buckeyes
1/4 cup nut butter (I like almond)
2-3 tbsp ground earthworms
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup extra dark chocolate
Combine the first 4 ingredients and make into bite size balls. Chill for 1 hour. Melt chocolate in either a double boiler or in the microwave. Carefully dip the balls into the chocolate leaving the very tops uncovered. Let sit until chocolate hardens.
Just kidding Daryl Dixon would just eat the worms cause he's MF DARYL DIXON!!!0 -
I'm posting this in both spots......
Unusual lean protein recipe.....we are pretty big hunters in the family, so we have "different" meats that some people would look at us funny for. So here is mine...we have this about once, maybe twice a year, only when pheasant is in season because I don't like to keep the breast in the freezer that long, it is much better fresh.

I will have issues with the drinking the 8 glasses of water a day. I am not a huge water fan, I usually just drink it during/after my workouts. I will really have to work on this one.
Team Daryl Challenge:
My mother (51) had a stroke in June of this past year. She was lucky however and didn't suffer any long term side effects besides slight weakness on her left side. I am the rock in the family of myself, my brother, and my parents. I am the one that makes sure things get done when things like this happen. I don't show emotion because I feel I need to be the "strong" one. So when I got the call, I drove 90 miles to my home town to get my dad and pack things for my mom, drove the 60 miles to the hospital that she was flown to, and talked to the nurses and doctors to find out what room she was in. It wasn't until that night in the hotel room with my husband that I finally let myself break down and cry. The stress of the past few hours had finally hit and I was able to let it all go. Then I was able to calm down and get back to business. It's not really a triumph but, it definitely did help to cry and let it all out.0 -

Crawfish Deviled Eggs. Somehow I think Daryl would like these. ^_^
For Team Daryl Challenge: (Personal Story Time!)
About 8 years ago my brother, age 21, started acting strangely. He became withdrawn, and lost in his head a lot. If you asked him a question, he would just stare off into space. Then 5 minutes later he would ask "what?". Sometimes he would start laughing out loud, or staring too long at himself in the mirror. Occasionally he would say really strange things that didn't make any sense, but if you disagreed with him he would get upset. My mom thought it might be a lot of different things, like lead poisoning, etc. But I think I knew right from the beginning that it was schizophrenia. I remember telling my mom that, and her denial. What mother wants to accept that their son has an as yet incurable mental disorder? I decided I had to stay strong for her. I had to be the strong one to hold the family together. Over the years that followed, I had to be the rock. I had to keep everyone functioning. When my brother was finally diagnosed things finally started improving, but I kept waiting for things to go bad again. I kept holding that fear in, and it caused some severe anxiety. But this past year I've finally realized that life isn't perfect, my brother might never be "normal" but he sure is doing amazingly well. On a good day, you'd never notice anything was wrong with him, and on a bad day, he paces a lot, and laughs at nothing sometimes, but those days are rare. He really is doing remarkably well. Am I still worried he'll get 'sick' again. Of course. But I can't let my fear keep me from living. I need to be responsible for own life first and foremost. ^_^

Daryl Team Challange
I'm going to do the best I can to keep this short and simple...
My "best friend" growing up actually ended up being my abusive relationship. From the age of 10yr old till I was 17yr old I was constantly called fat and ugly by her. She hit me, called me stupid and threatened me that if I ever left her she would ruin my life. I Truly felt like I should be lucky to have someone like her as a friend. A typical abusive relationship though I was clueless at the time. I finally stood up to her and that was that. My life wasn't ruined, she just walked away and I finally found out what real friends were like. Even though we were over I carried around a LOT of hurt and anger over what she had done to me. It started to change me as a person. Almost 5 years later I over heard someone saying that being angry at someone was like taking poison and drinking it yourself. It was time to forgive her. I wrote her a long letter, I was honest yet not harsh. I let her know that it was just as much for me as it was for her. I knew that I had to fix my own music box. I wholeheartedly, totally and completely forgave her. No strings attached. I didn't care what her response was. I didn't need to hear how sorry she was or wasn't. It was the best thing that I could have ever done. The was one of the hardest things I ever had to do, but my music box plays loud and proud now!

Hey Team Daryl -
I am Team Carol and this week I am supposed to share a "weapon" or some advice to keep y'all motivated. I don't really have a weapon per se, but two things I have found helpful are:
1. Planning meals and snacks for a week at a time. It will keep you from having to make multiple trips to the grocery store and will gives you an idea of how your calories will stack up for the week and what days you can splurge a little on.
2. I like to cook from recipes that taste like real food and not "diet" food. My favorite recipe website is skinnytaste.com.
Good luck on your goals!0 -

Shelley0 -
Good morning Daryl's - part of the Carol challenge this week is to give you all some words of wisdom and motivation. So here is my two cents worth -
I hear this in my weight loss surgery support group every time I go, but I think its something that needs to be heard a lot in order to really let it sink in.
To be healthy and successful at weight loss you need to do 4 core things - 1) Drink water, A LOT, 2) Eat protein, 3) Take your vitamins everyday, 4) Be Active. These things vary per person but they should all be on your to do list everyday. HOWEVER - don't assume your a failure if you are slacking off in one area or another. If you don't exercise for a week, you are not a failure. If you don't get in all your water during the day, you are not a failure. If you binged and has all carbs one day and no protein, you are not a failure!
YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE!! Always keep this thought in the forefront of your brain and recite it to yourself a couple times a day. Its worth repeating.
You fail when you quit trying to be healthier, not when you keep trying but don't do everything perfectly. I have to remind myself of this thought everyday, because I am by no means perfect on any of these things. But if I can get through a day where I accomplished 3 out of 4 then I am definitely a success and I just have to tell myself I will try harder tomorrow to get them all right.0 -
cardio: 120 / 90
strength: 40 /50
stay within calories: 5 days so far. I always have one cheat day
High protein recipe: I like to cut up an apple and dip with peanut butter or almond butter. Makes a good filling snack
Team Daryl Challenge:
This was difficult and I've been thinking about it all week. We all have challenges at some point in our lives. I couldn't pick just one and I don't think mine are too much different than anyone else's (premature baby, laid off work, teenage issues, death in family etc.). The only thing that got myself and family through all these hard times was never stop talking to each other and have a positive attitude (don't be a victim). There is always someone that is better off than you are and always someone that is worse off than you are. Keep yourself grounded and push on. Before you know it you've made it through the tough time and are stronger for it. Things happen for a reason.0 -
Hello my fellow crossbow experts. I will try to make this short.
I lost my dad last year. He was traveling with my mom in Florida when his health caught up to him. I work in a profession that I deal with everyone else's loss of love ones, never my own. My dad was in failing health for a while and as much as I tried to prepare myself for the inevitable phone call, it was still a shocker to get it. He was hospitalized for 3 days on a ventilator. He was not supposed to be put on a ventilator, but that is another story. My mother gave the doctors the benefit of the doubt and allowed them to try to wean him off the ventilator. My siblings were calling my mom constantly wanting updates, but knew from my career experience, it was a matter of time. 3 days later when I got the text that dad was not going to be able to be taken off the vent, it was decision time. My mom knew what to do. I broke my silence and called her to let her know she had my complete and total support for the decision that had to be made. I have made the decisions before as a paramedic, sacrifice one for the welfare of many, it isn't an easy decision or one that is taken lightly. By giving my support to my mom, it made it easier for her to let go. My siblings were not as understanding, and that is yet another story. Anyways, this experience has made me understand the effects of loss in a family. I have to notify families of the loss of their loved ones frequently and it has become more of a humbling and understanding experience.0 -
Hello Daryl, momma Carol here. I'm here to tell you that it's all gonna be alright *hugs* and small peck on the forehead. Now that Beth's out of the picture (pant pant)!!! Totally joking!!!
My advise is similar to TJ's with weight loss and fitness and that is to get it in your head that it's a journey. As Jillian Michaels often says, stop beating yourself up every day for the things you did not accomplish. Focus on how far you have come. Know that you are not a failure! You are worth it! Put yourself first for a change. It may feel selfish but it's really necessary to move forward.
Carol out!0 -
Team Daryl Intermediate (posted on both)
So as far as an unusual protein recipe I follow a fitness trainer on instagram and she posted a pretty unusual recipe the other day which I would like to try. (dawn Estelle fitness)
Fresh Kale & cooked Salmon Eggs:
spray muffin pan with coconut oil, mix eggs +drop in, rip kale + drop in, shred cooked salmon + drop in, bake on 450 until golden brown on top.
As far fixing the music box:
Looking back the biggest tragedy in my life was losing my dad at 17. I was always daddy's little girl and while I was always the bigger kid I began my weight hike that year. Life's struggles have always made me gain weight but when I stopped losing weight to be skinny and more to be healthy and began to melt off. Trying to fit a type was my struggle and meeting the love of m life and staring our family became my happiness and now its about keeping up with my daughter!
Sorry to everyone who has lost anyone0 -
Carol here! Dropping in to give some advice! As we have seen on the show they do better when they have a goal or a plan. Do the same! I keep on my exercise the best when I'm signed up for a 5k. Can't slack off then! :-)0

Wow, I really got to learn a bit about all of you this week. And I am glad to have got to know you all. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes and motivation.
Here is mine,
I married at 18. Had little self esteem. Raised my two wonderful children. Then they left. I had hardly ever done anything for myself. No job, no schooling after high school. Very few friends. So I got a job at a juvenile detention center. I really enjoyed working with the teens. But I worked graveyard. Hardly seen my husband even now. There was a deputy sheriff officer who convinced me, after leaving several applications with me, to try to join the force. I looked up the requirements. Run, maybe, pushups doable, situps, laughable. But I tried out anyway. Passed the written, the oral, the psych evaluation. I aced the situps and maxed the pushups. I had been working on these. But I had shin splints! I could not pass the run. I had to complete the academy within one year of my hire date. I squeaked through.
So now I had a great career doing something I could be proud of and meet lots of exciting folks. I was asked to go back to the academy several years later. I was 50 at this time. I decided I would more than squeak through this time. I would not be in the slow group. Going back to the academy was an extra 13 weeks of training to get my PO (police officer) basic training completed. I currently had held a detention officer certification. This would open more doors for me. I worked out like crazy. I completed 73 pushups in 1 minute. I passed everything and was in the fast group. I placed second for over all physical fitness and received an award. I have never been so happy with my accomplishments. We can do this at any age if we just do not quit. And I am still married to my best friend. 
I did post my numbers on the advanced board.
Did my jackalope jump into a pool of freezing water for charity last night. It was really cold jumping into that pool and then running to the other side. But we did get to go inside and into the lap pool afterwards. And I got a shirt! I so will wear it with pride.

love the poster. I need to try some of the recipes and add up my numbers.
I am staying in my calories. Yesterday was tough, but I squeaked in. I did an hour of kickboxing when my zumba class was cancelled.

WOW!! What an incredible story. It must have been great out performing the younger crowd physically at 50 in the police academy. I am with a county Sheriff's Dept assigned to the coroner's office. I love what I do and get to meet and help a lot of people on a daily basis. I too was in the fast group in my academy, but things got sloppy when I started working, tacked on a lot of weight. The past 2 years I have been able to get back into a shape I am proud of, and one where the uniform fits a bit better Looking to hit that final goal in the next 12 months.

Dead man we have a lot of things in common. Wearing a uniform actually helps to stay in shape. We have to turn in our sizes when it is time to order new ones. No way do I want to order a larger size.
I have a really good idea of what you do. Vicks is probably a good friend of yours. 
I work in the courts now. Out of the jail! My favorite district court judge took a position as a Federal judge. At his retirement party I went to shake his hand, he ignored it and pulled me into a huge hug. It has been a long road to get here. But it was worth it. Ok my fellow Deputy lets kick this into gear! (*) (*) My name on my favorite aquarium site is Code4
Shelley0 -
Today was busy. Went to zumba and then walked my boys. Spent a couple hours working to fix my aquarium hood. The timer was fried. We took apart the old one to get the timer from it. Then ordered a couple hundred in parts to fix the old one. Might as well have a spare.
I am interested to see what the new group is like. But of course I don't trust them!

Got my character challenge done. I'm totally going to step it up a notch this week! Go team!!0 -
I started with shoveling snow for 40 minutes. Has to count for something. It was wet and heavy. Just what the trees need. I am for stepping up the strength training this week.

Anyone else relieved that DARYL didn't shower? I think I'd be a little freaked out to see him all shiny and new.0

I like Daryl just the way he is also. Not to mention he could plug up the system!
Shelley0 -
I was soo glad Daryl didn't try to pretty himself up like everyone else! He looked like a caged tiger during most of this episode. Did you see him pacing back and forth ready to attack in that one fight scene? With Rick trying to subdue him. Lol. I loved it. I'm guessing Carol will make him shower in the next episode though, while trying to coach him on how to act civilized. ^_^0
