Welcome to the Hogwarts Weight Loss Challenge information/sign up thread!

Basics:
● This is a twelve-week weight-loss challenge, beginning on Monday, July 21st.
● 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. Weight loss will be totaled 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! Last term, 120 of us lost 667 pounds in ten weeks!

Join:
● To join, please post in this thread. Include the name of the house you wish to be sorted into. If you don't, you may be missed by our prefects.
● When you are successfully enrolled, you will be contacted by your new house's prefect. In the coming days, you will be added to the group as well.
● Be advised, space is limited! We have only about thirty spaces remaining in each house.

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

Sincerely yours,
Ghost
Headmistress

    The trivia questions are simply another way to earn house points, and incorporate something Harry Potter related into the challenge. We try not to focus on losing weight the entire time.

    All challenges, including trivia challenges, are entirely optional.

    Sounds fun. If I really went to Hogwarts, I'd most likely be put in Ravenclaw so I might as well make that my house.

    This sounds AMAZING.

    I'm currently cutting fat a bit faster than what is "normal", so my results would skew my team (house Gryffindor all the way!) to an unfair advantage. I'll have to decline out of a spirit of fairness, but with much disappointment! I love Harry Potter! Good luck to all you entering Hogwarts citizens!

    I'm in. I do enjoy all things HP.

    I'm a Ravenclaw by nature but, in the spirit of independence, I'd like to be in Slytherin. I'm already collecting avatars for this endeavor.
