Hello, everyone! We'd like to invite you to he Hogwarts Weight Loss Challenge!
If you want some additional motivation to stay on track and have some fun while working towards your goals, come join us!

Term 52 will be an 5-week term themed around Holidays at Hogwarts. The term will run from Friday, November 8th (with full activities beginning on the following Monday) through Sunday, December 15th.

Each week is themed around different holidays at Hogwarts. The list inside the spoiler tags will give you an an idea of the type of challenges you would see each week in our general categories, to give you an idea of the commitment involved. Completing these challenges earns points for your house as we compete (in a friendly way!) to earn the House Cup each term.
MANDATORY Challenges:
  • Quidditch (Exercise task, running the entire week):
    Complete 30 minutes of flex, 30 minutes of strength, and 30 minutes of cardio throughout the week.
  • Potions (Food task, running the entire week):
    Eat the rainbow of fruit and vegetables this week.
  • Defense against the Dark Arts (running the entire week):
    this category may contain some trivia questions about Harry Potter, or some questions for reflection
  • Weigh-in: runs Friday through Sunday

OPTIONAL Challenges:
  • Room of Requirement (typically running Wednesday through Thursday):
    Complete a 15-minute workout.
  • Hogsmeade (typically running Saturday through Sunday):
    Take 30 minutes to relax this weekend and let us know what you did.
  • Arithmancy (running the entire week):
    Stay under your calorie limit for as many days as you manage
  • Alchemy (running the entire week):
    Meet your water goal for as many days as you can manage

Certain weeks will also have:
  • Optional Quidditch matches (where you count minutes of exercise multiplied by effort to earn points)
  • Optional special events, such as a relay race events (one team member completes an activity and then the next person completes the next activity and so on, usually runs 2-3 days) or list events (sign up for tasks and complete them in any order within about a week).


Owls with the acceptance and friend requests should go out on Monday, November 4th through Tuesday, November 5th (and should be received by the end of Tuesday, November 5th).

*** While everyone who applies to join Hogwarts will be sorted into a house, if you do not respond to the prefect who contacted you within a reasonable time frame, then we will assume you no longer wish to participate in the challenge and remove you from the roster so that late applicants can be sorted.
Therefore, we ask those who received an owl on November 4th and 5th to please join the castle and common room groups by 11:59 pm ET on Friday, November 8th. ***

    It looks like you are in the groups so maybe you figured it out, but otherwise please send me a message and I can help you :)

    Also for anyone else - Owls have gone out, but you can still submit an application and we will sort you into a house so you can join up for some holiday fun!

    If you submitted an application and have NOT heard back, please contact myself or @Maalea (you may need to send us a friend request first since MFP doesn't always work very smoothly) and we will help you figure it out :)
