Welcome and congratulations on your new baby!! That is so exciting. It sounds to me like you have a good starting point. Losing the weight slowly, 2 pounds a week, is good and it will help you keep it off in the long run. Just remember to give yourself some slack, you have a new daughter at home that will demand your…

welcome and congratulations on your engagement!! There are many people here that can provide you encouragement and support. Just jump in and join the group :)

Welcome and congratulations on beginning your journey. I find for me I am more likely to stick with something if I have a really good "why" for doing it. Figure out why you want to lose weight and be healthy. Something that has an emotional response for you and use that to help keep you going when you feel like you are…

I am just finishing week 8, or week 3 of Beta round ;) Stick with it you will be happy you did. So far I am liking Beta way better than I did Alpha. it is a tough workout but you will feel great when its over. have fun!

Me too ! between Grand Haven and Grand Rapids

way to go booksandbeache!!!

I want to make sure i understand the fitspo thing. I have to post a pic of myself with an inspirational quote or is it a before and after photo?

there are a ton of them out there that you should work into your schedule depending on what type of workouts you like. Are you looking for more cardio based, strength training, do you like martial arts/kickboxing??

Congratulations!! I am a 5 year breast cancer survivor myself and I gained a lot of weight during and after treatment. before you know it this will all be a memory and a life learning experience. I am here to tell you there is life after cancer :)

How much water are you drinking every day? Your weight can fluctuate from day to day just from water weight alone. I wouldnt freak out quite yet. It takes your body a few weeks to adjust to new workout routines and its really not uncommon to gain a few pounds in the first few weeks. Be patient as long as you eat healthy…

Hello Team Beth! I am on Team Daryl, because Beth was such a big help to Daryl in his depressed state i would like to donate 10 minutes of strength to whomever needs it as a thank you.

I guess i will startoff by saying thank you to Team Beth for the donation. I will gladly accept the 10 minutes of strength from gambrall. We made a good team this last week :)

Cindy, I have a couple of questions. First it says this weeks cardio is 220 min then at the bottom it says to send to you our totals out of 250. Is it supposed to be 250? Second, the bow and arrows, is it 10 minutes total or 10 minutes per day?

congrats Amy on the MVP! We can do this team!!!

thank you all and no Im not a data fiend lol! i just need something to track calorie burn especially since a lot of the workouts I do are not in the MFP database.

Ok I am at: 65/90 Strength 193/250 Cardio 20/50 Burpees working on more burpees tonight and finishing cardio and strength tomorrow. I actually missed 1 day of working out this week so Ive had to double up a few days too keep on track. My body is going to love rest day on Sunday ;)

Thank you. I will check them out. I just need to be more accurate on how many calories I am burning than what other people claim they get online lol! I have a pretty sedentary job where I work 10 hours a day so I think I really need to see what I am burning when I workout . Sometimes I feel that even though i am sweating…

Ive had gym memberships in the past but usually end up cancelling them. I have a hard time getting there. For me it is easier to make time to workout in my home and really I enjoy it more too. When the weather is nice I like to get outside for a bike ride or walk but my main workouts are done in my living room. As long as…

LOL! I post little daily fitness challenges on my facebook page for my friends. Today's challenge was burpees! I actually kind of like them it just depends on how many they are going to make us do :/

where will we find our punishment listed?

Looks lke Michonne kicked our butts on the zombie kills tonight! Did they even show Daryl? Oh well we will catch up in no time :)

It was a tough week I wont lie. I too had that week where you just want to sleep all day and eat everything thats not nailed down. I missed 1 day of working out so I didnt make the 240 min of cardio but I came close :/ I think we still got this! Next week I will rock it. Go team!!

welcome! Congratulations on making the decision to change your life. This is a great place to come for help and support. Feel free to add me as a friend and we can help each other out

I love walking outside. I just wish it would stop snowing long enough to be able to get back out again. For now I use my treadmill and I am doing T25 workouts everyday. Just keep moving every day and make sure you get plenty of water and eat right. you will get there

Its been tough getting the extra time in. Ive been doing T25 but 25 min a day isnt enough for the 240min cardio so ive had to add extra workouts to my day. Needless to say Im feeling it this week ;) Im looking forward to Sunday. Go Daryl!!

Congratulations on the upcoming wedding!! You can so do this by November!! 7 pounds is a great start. Many people start off losing 1-2 pounds per week so you are doing really well. what kind of workouts do you do?

Still here. Halfway through week 5 of Alpha round for me. Total Body Circuit 3 times this week! Dont know if I will survive hahaaha. and as if im not punishing my body enough ive added Jillian Michaels kickboxing cardio a couple of days a week and some Rockin Body. im doing the Walking Dead challenge on here so I had to up…

Sorry I wasnt around for a bit there. Please go ahead and add me. i would love to help each other out :)

Welcome!! This is a great place to come for motivation and support. I sent you a friend request. what kind of workouts do you like doing?

Got 50 minutes of cardio kickboxing already this week plus an additional 25 minutes of cardio and 25 minutes of strength training. Off to a good start :) Go Team Daryl!!
