Enrolments are Open for the Next Hogwarts Weight-Loss Challenge

peejaygee1

Attention all would-be Wizards, Witches, Half-bloods, Squibs and Muggles.

As we approach a new term here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, some vacancies have opened up in the student body, and we are looking for applicants to join for the new term.

Firstly, some information about what to expect from your term at Hogwarts:

Basics:

• This is a twelve-week weight-loss challenge, beginning on Monday, April 13th.
• All players will be sorted into houses. These are your teams - look to each other for advice, support, and motivation.
• Each week, players will weigh themselves on either Friday, Saturday, or Sunday (EST). Weight loss will be totalled up (not by pounds lost, but by percentage, similar to the Muggle television show Biggest Loser) for each house.
• Houses will be awarded house points based on how much weight was lost. The house with the largest percentage will receive the most points, and the house with the smallest percentage will receive the least.
• There will also be other opportunities to get house points throughout the term. There will be food-related and exercise-related challenges, as well as questions to answer (Harry Potter trivia). We are a school, after all.
• The House Cup will be awarded to the house with the most points at the end of the term!

Benefits:

• Geek out over all things Harry Potter with like-minded people! The entire challenge is Harry Potter themed, right down to the names of the threads in the group.
• Make friends, and be supported by a fantastic group of people!
• Relax! This is a safe, stress-free challenge. No one is voted off if they do not lose every week.
• Get motivated! We'll push you every day with different health-related challenges. Do what you can, and you'll probably find you're more capable than you thought!
• Lose weight! Over the last four terms, our students have lost well over 3,800 pounds!

To apply for a position at Hogwarts for the next term, please fill in the online Hogwarts Enrolment Application Form.

We encourage you to submit your application as early as possible to ensure you don't miss out on a place at the school. There are only a small number of vacancies available in each house.

Once you have been accepted, your house prefect will be in contact and you will receive an invitation to the School group and your House Common Room here on MFP. Please be assured though, that if we are unable to sort you into a house at this stage, we will wait-list you for any vacancies that arise throughout the term.

Questions may be posted here, or sent to me via owl.

Sincerely yours,

this was made for me because, it is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities. :P

As a current member (Ravenclaw), I strongly recommend the challenge for any HP fans Lots of fun challenges and it's enjoyable getting to know your housemates over the term. Plus, it definitely has helped me lose weight!

I'm in. Being 20lbs down and halfway to goal, I'm not feeling so much like Uncle Vernon these days, but could still use a little fun along the journey!

Very cool. I filled out the application. Hope to be seeing the owl with good news If chosen, I will also change my profile picture to coincide with my challenge. (Currently sporting Michonne of the Walking Dead Challenge, but it ended this week.)

I wasn't sure whether to put returning. I did this several terms ago, but have been inactive. I clicked returning, but if whomever is doing the tallying can't find me, I haven't been in for awhile.

HUFFLEPUFF!!!! I got my acceptance owl last night.

Is there a way to be notified of a future term? I can't really be actively trying to lose weight now but now that I will be in about 7 more months! This is right up my alley
