Pokemon Go is what brought me back to MFP after a long hiatus. I noticed I was actually wanting to go outside and go on walks, and I figured I might as well watch my calories and reap the benefits of this increased activity. I wish they could sync Pokemon Go with MFP, so our hatched eggs automatically show up in our…

I have been slammed at work this week, and I just realized I'm supposed to go camping Friday and Saturday, so I won't have those days to catch up in my numbers. Would it be okay if I bowed out this week? I don't want to bring the team down. :frown:

And congratulations, Gambrell on meeting your goal!! That's so exciting! Also, question about the challenge. Do 60 minutes of our strength have to be combat training or 60 of our cardio or either?

Congratulations, kmoiregreen on MVP! And maphammonds I hope all goes well with the surgery! I just watched the episode. Yeah, I need to process.

No problem, kmoiregreen! Gambrell, oh my goodness, I did two sets earlier today and my legs are still shaking!

Kmoiregreen, the same thing kept happening with me! I'm using imgur, and finally, I realized that the img tags need to be lowercase. So basically like this: And then just make the IMGs lowercase.

YES!!! I'm wearing the zombie chasing/Daryl motorcycle one!!! So love it!!

Hi there! I am currently participating in The Walking Dead Challenge (Go Team Beth!!!), and one of our assignments is to post a fitspo at some point in the competition. Here is mine. It was taken at Oralia's Kitchen, which is an amazing taqueria in Richmond, CA. All San Francisco Bay Areans need to check that place out…

Thanks, Marie! I've never posted a picture to a forum before, so I'm testing it out with you guys first. Here it is (hopefully). Yes!!! Finally got it to work. Off to go post in the fitspo thread.

Oooh, I like the name Spartan Bow. It'll sound very impressive when I tell my co-workers about it. :glasses: Assuming I can do them. Also, I made my fitspo! Now, I just gotta figure out where/how to post it it.

MVP with a neck injury!! You go, Kmoiregreen!!! :drinker:

Okay, I rewatched and surveyed online opinions, and I'm going with kidnapped. :sad:

Okay, I'm unclear. Did Beth take off, or was she taken? What was with her bag on the ground?

Marie, you are totally of the awesome! Gambrell, that's great! I've still got 30 to go, but I'm going ice skating later, so that should cover it. I took it easy this week--did power yoga instead of weights and mostly low impact cardio. I think my body appreciated the break as my back is finally starting to feel normal…

Gambrell, I have 75 left! We can do it!!

You go, Hot Mama!! W00t!!!

Marieamethyst, DDR is never boring! And wow!! That is amazing! I hope you took before pics!

You go, Gambrell!! Way to be on it!

Awww, thanks, Marieamethyst! :flowerforyou: Congratulations, kmoiregreen!! I agree; you are the beastiest of beasts!! :drinker: And yay, two kills for us!!! And my back is feeling better though I still might hold off on lifting and do more bodyweight exercises for strength until I feel ready. Yikes, 250 minutes of cardio!…

As for me, I'm Tiffany, 33, also getting married. My date is July 12th, 2014. I've always been someone who has admired the strength and discipline of athletes but has never had the motivation or ability to emulate it--at least not for a significant period of time. As I've mentioned before, the wedding is really driving me…

Kmoiregreen, that is a romantic story! And congratulations again on your engagement! And I love that you are making this both an inner and outer journey--all the more reason why I believe you will be successful.

Lisa and Marie, thank you so much for sharing your stories. I'm in awe of both of you and proud to be in the virtual company of such strong, inspiring women! Marie, you're saving me! I need 100 minutes of cardio. If I could use your extra, my back and I would be forever grateful! And dang, great job doing all that extra!…

Thank you, marieamethyst and kmoiregreen!! I could totally use some cardio minutes. I'm going to do some light walking to add to the minutes I have already, but if you have some to spare, I would really, really appreciate it. Once, that's done, I just need to worry about the wall squats, bleh. :grumble:

Patti, that's beautiful! I love what you said about teaching your daughter by example how to see the positives in herself. So, so inspiring. Bucky, you are one badass, sexy mama! Congrats! My back's been bugging me this week, so I'm trying to do less intense versions of the workouts I've been doing. Hopefully, I. can still…

OP, being a first year teacher is especially hard because there's so much to learn and you could pretty much work 24 hours a day and never be done. I work in a helping profession as well, and I've learned that I need to make my own self-care a priority, if I'm going to be any good to anyone. So basically, don't feel bad if…

Marieamethyst, your fitspo is going to so cool!! And your little one is super adorable! Gambrell, now I totally want to search Krav Maga on YouTube. I've been doing Jillian's KICKBOX FASTFIX, which is a great calorie burn, but I don't know how helpful those moves would actually be in a zombie apocalypse.

Don't get down on yourself! Pole fitness is insanely hard. I only did it once and my weak little upper body could not lift myself up for anything. The fact that you're sticking with it is awesome!

Okay, is anyone else nervous that they're making Beth this symbol of hope and optimism? Considering this is a show that likes their characters dark and despairing, I'm worried it's an indication Beth's days are numbered. :noway: Or maybe I just need to work on cultivating my own optimistic side. Oh, and I love how…

Thank you, SaraAlexandre. That's really well-said and makes so much sense.

Kmoire, awesome job getting it done even when you felt like giving up. I totally believe when you push past the point of feeling like you can't go any further, that's when real change occurs. And I'm pretty sure I stole that from a Jillian Michaels DVD. :laugh: Regardless, I still think it's true, and I think you're…
