    My goals:
    Stay under my calorie goals 6/7 days
    Get over 10,000 steps every day
    Cut out fizzy drinks, caffeine, etc. by only drinking water.

    Hi there! I'm THC, or Pix, or Toni. Call me whichever you feel comfortable with.
    I am a sociology professor, so I simply must root for the teachers!
    This is my 3rd Walking Dead challenge and I couldn't be more stoked!
    My three goals are:
    1. Stay under my Net calorie goal weekly
    2. Consistently lose at least .25 (1/4) pound on the scale each week (more is welcomed of course, but no maintaining and certainly no gaining.)
    3. Get at least 300 minutes of deliberate cardio each week.
    I'd also like to get under 200 pounds by the end of the challenge. As of right now, I am 205.3.
    I am also in the Harry Potter challenge, so my status updates have a lot of Hufflepuff to them. My profile picture is always changing back and forth between Harry Potter and Walking Dead.

    Please feel free to friend me. I accept all friend requests on MFP. :)

    Hi there! This should be fun... my goals will be:

    Stay within calorie limit 6/7 days
    Exercise via smartphone app EVERY day, even if only for 5 minutes
    Eat no more than one dessert per week

    I'm a teacher now, and my students sometimes seem like zombies, so this should be cool...

    Hello! My name is Jessica. I am not a teacher but I am a single mom, so I think I qualify for this group! I have never done a challenge like this but I am excited.
    My 3 goals are:
    1. Do my Bikini Body Mommy workout every day.
    2. Lose 1 - 2 pounds a week.
    3. Walk at least 12,000 steps everyday on top of my workout.

    Thnks for letting me join the group. I need to lose 35 to 40 pounds, but I want to do it the right way so I can keep it off!

    Hey everyone I'm Shannon. This is my first challenge so really have no idea what I am getting into...so why not just go for it! I'm also relatively new to MFP been on it for about a month or so I guess. Not a teacher but I am the hiring/training mgr at work so I guess that qualifies, right? lol

    My 3 goals
    1. Log my food EVERY day (even if it was sucky food day)
    2. Bring my lunch from home at least 3 days
    3. Continue riding my bike at least 3-4 days/wk for a min of 45 mins

    Hi. I'm Chris. I'm not a teacher but as Jessica said, mom's are teachers by default. I'm still teaching despite the fact that my daughters are 24 and 22. I binge watched the Walking Dead series on Netflix and can't wait for Monday to get even a sniff of my old addiction.

    My 3 goals
    1. Stay under my weekly calorie goal
    2. Strength train 3x/wk, cardio 3x/wk
    3. Two servings of vegetables each and every day. Ketchup and mustard don't count.

    Hi guys! I'm Teressa. I'm not a teacher or a mom but I am kind of addicted to school and learning so I thought why not join the teachers team (already have my degrees but am still taking classes at the local community college because it's fun).

    My three goals are:
    1. Swim at least 2 days per week
    2. Have at least a net 70,000 steps per week (~10,000 per day)
    3. Cook dinner for myself at least once per week (I'm not the cook in the family, seriously I've been known to burn pasta but I really should learn to cook decently)

    Let's do this!

    Hello! I'm Samantha and I'm not a teacher but I do have 3 kids and my oldest is going into kindergarten in less than two weeks so I've been doing a lot of teaching with him. I wasn't sure if I would have time for this challenge with school starting for me as well in a week and a half but I just can't say no to challenges. =) My goals are going to focus on making me move more, making food for the family instead of just cooking something frozen or something boring, and staying under my calories. For the cooking part, I used to make the same thing all the time and even though it was homemade it was still boring so I want to make different recipes as well which I have done for all three meals a day this week as an experiment and it turned out great although it was extremely time-consuming so that's why I am aiming for 7 meals total.

    My goals are:
    1. Walk at least 10 intentional miles a week.
    2. Cook homemade and different meals from scratch for the whole family at least 7 meals out of the week.
    3. Have a deficit of at least 3500 calories for the entire week.

    No worries. What's the worst that could happen? :naughty:
    In all seriousness though, the zombie challenges / attacks will always be doable by everyone. If anyone ever needs a replacement challenge because of an injury or whatever, just message me or another team leader
