I'm so sorry @MsTiffamee‌ My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family during this time!

I like it @ToughHippieChick‌!

I agree about how oddly Tyreese was looking at the pictures. And why no pics of older brother Noah?? Who was the other walker that gave hime the 2nd bite? Wouldn't it have been faster for one of them to get the car and come back to get them instead of hefting this giant one armed man through the woods? Why, when Tyreese…

Hey Julebg - it wasn't terrible. Caught it on Google Play about 3pm this afternoon for just over two bucks. It also helps that I'm always running around on Sunday nights, so seldom ever watched it live anyway. The most tricky part was not logging into MFP until after I watched the episode. Hat tip to Cindy for working the…

Congrats to Mrscheyfleming & BMercy21 on expanding your families :) Nice to see some familiar faces and some new ones too! Let's do this!

Hi everyone! I'm Patti and this is my 3rd go-round with this challenge. I belong to several challenge groups on MFP, but nothing gets me movin' and motiviated like this one. My first 1/2 season, I lost 11 pounds. Sadly I gained nearly all of it back while recovering from surgery. Last 1/2 season, I got back down to my…

super cool gym @flumi! I'm with you guys on feeling distracted/disinterested and I'm totally blaming it on the holidays! Still got my fast and workout in today, but it's been tough! I'm going to tell myself this everyday - "Don't let yourself fall back into old habits....stay the course!" I'm seeing results on 5:2 and I'm…

oh my goodness calahonda & mwhite - that does sound like something out of a horror movie - or that Animal Planet show 'Infested'. I think I would just move if my house had 87 snakes (shivering over that thought right now!). Glad they can get you bee-free calahonda, and pretty cool that they can 'move' them.

Thanks @foamroller! I would assume that consistency is the key. Yesterday I set my window from noon-8pm, didn't quite get done fixing/eating dinner until 8:30; then went to bed at 9:30. Today, I've got a work meeting from 11:30 - 1pm, I was starving and couldn't see myself waiting until 1pm to eat so just now fixed myself…

This is all facinating! I'm enjoying reading everyone's input and researching on my own. I really appreciate you folks with lots of experience sharing your journey here - thank you! @flumi, I'm totally creeping on your posts to see how your progress is going, you're inspiring me :) This is my 3 week 5:2, kinda bounced…

@foamroller - thanks for sharing! Very inspiring. @flumi - I'm interested in your results as well. I was considering going from 5:2 to 4:3 beacuse I haven't really seen any loss (this is my 3rd week of IF - and yes, I'm impatient!). Maybe I'll try the 16:8 principle on my feast days first.

Thanks so much Cindy & TJ and everyone that works on keeping this challenge going. This was my 2nd go 'round and I love it. Nothing keeps me honest like having to be accountable to my team. Have a great time off everyone, but don't let the season give you a reason to fall off the wagon! ~Patti

Beginner - Walker Horde :( Cardio - 150/ 140 Strength - 71/75; accepting 4 minutes from Julebg79 to meet min of 75/75 Calories - yes Challenge(s) - yes all 3 Punishment - n/a

Thanks @ julebg79, can I have 4 of your strength minutes? I'll include it in my post. I barely got the minimums in - my 2nd grandbaby arrived yesterday and we've been up at the hospital.

Thanks @ hngui! And wow @thecarbmonster - that's some great losses - inspiring!

Thanks everyone. I'm finding your posts encouraging! My first week of fasting was last week. A little loss at the beginning, but the week was a wash (I'll count that as a win, since it was Thanskgiving after all). No loss yet this week, but I'm see that while I'm within my TDEE cals, I'm not necessarily making wise food…

^^^ what she said

Week 7 Beginner Beth Cardio - 238/120; however donating 31 minutes to @Julebg79, so net 207/120 Strength - 85/70 Calories - Yes (started the 5:2 Fast Diet, so cals are consistent with that, not necessarily MFP's Punishment - Yes (Bring Sally Up & Rotisserie Core) Charecter Challenge - Yes - Fit it In (on Wednesday)

Jule - I've got you covered on the cardio, when I post, I'll give you 31 minutes.

Alright, I'm in on the squat challenge, but I'll be a week behind (no pun intended), I'm going to need a day off to recover after Planksgiving. Haha, me too. Hubs says I have rug burns on my elbows for all the wrong reasons!

Hey TJ, hope you were able to do some fun stuff in your time away. Planksgiving is the devil, no joke! I don't know which I despise more, plank walks or two point planks (both of which I modify on my knees, but they're still killers!) Just a few more days, then it's over. Over, over, over! Then I will truly be thankful :)

Thanks Cindy! That's good to know, I totally read that as doing the challange Thanksgivig morning. I get it in on Wednesday then!

Great to be here, I'm encouraged reading everyone's posts. Yesterday's first fast day was easier than I expected, and it was even a carido day for me. I work from home, so I was really worried that I'd be drawn to the kitchen by habit more than hunger. On my lunch break I took a nap, so didn't miss eating at all :)…

Hey Folks - just being transparent here - I really don't know if I'll be able to to the 'Get it In' challenge on Thursday. We'll have a house full of people and are actually starting celebrations Wednesday evening.

Way to go! What was the program?

Hi folks! A friend in another challenge introduced me to 5:2 a few week ago. I've done some research and heaving thinking about it and I'm ready to jump in. I think I'll go with Mon/Fri for fasting days this week. One thing I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving season is great groups and forums on MFP; they certainly have…

Week 6 - Beginner Beth Cardio: 233/120 Strength: 122/65 Calories: yes, for the week Character: Yes Punishment: n/a

I was randomly flipping through the channels this week and stumbled across WGN (I think) playing Season 2 of TWD - it was kinda sad...so may of those characters are dead now :(

It's been awesome reading everyone's input for this week's challenge - thanks for sharing - it motivates me :) And I agree with the thread on how to count the calories - cumulative for the week. There are days I don't eat back my exercise calories during the week so I can have a glass of wine or a margarita on the…

well, IMDB shows in in all 16 episodes this season, but only lists Noah thru this first half.
