Harry Potter Themed Exercise Challenge

xxghost · January 2015

Hello!

I am starting up an exercise challenge to run in conjunction with the Hogwarts Weight Loss Challenge. Unlike Hogwarts, which is built around weigh-ins, Beauxbatons Academy will focus on challenges only - exercise, food, and Harry Potter Trivia.

Here is some information on the challenge, which will all take place in a MFP group:

Basics:

This is an activity that will run in conjunction with the Hogwarts Weight Loss Challenge.
Participants in this challenge will not record their weights - this group will be used for bi-weekly exercise, food, and trivia questions only.

The Challenges:

There will be three unique challenges for this tournament.
The first challenge will run from 12:01 AM (EST) on Sunday, Feb 1 to 11:59 PM (EST) on Saturday, Feb 7.
The second challenge will run from 12:01 AM (EST) on Sunday, Feb 15 to 11:59 PM (EST) on Saturday, Feb 21.
The third challenge will run from 12:01 AM (EST) on Sunday, Mar 1 to 11:59 PM (EST) on Saturday, Mar 7.
Put simply, these challenges will be one week on, one week off, one week on, one week off, etc.
Specifics for the challenges will be posted on the Friday before the challenge starts.
Hogwarts will receive the same information at the same time, so not to give one school an advantage.
Challenges will involve tracking either food or exercise, and will require that players post their results in the challenge thread during the course of the week.
Trivia questions will be mixed in across the tournament as an opportunity to earn extra points.

Off-Weeks:

Even when there is no challenge in progress, there are many fun things to do!
We are a community of like-minded people. We will definitely be geeking out over various books, movies, etc.
Share your weight-loss woes, your success stories, your recipes, and your tips.
All students are encouraged to create their own threads, and contribute to already existing discussions.

The Prize:

Bragging rights! I've heard that Hogwarts believes they're sure winners this year.
New friends, partners, and mentors.
A healthier you!

In a nutshell, this group will compete against the students of Hogwarts. This is a perfect opportunity, as participation will not be monitored as strictly, and weigh-ins will not be required at Beauxbatons Academy.

If you're interested in giving the group a look, please post in this thread! I will send an invite your way. You may also post questions here, or shoot them to me via owl (PM).
