Hogwarts Weight Loss Challenge - Enrollment Now Open

Shesalovebug · July 2014

I'd love to be in Gryffindor, but anything open will do. I'm trying to lose weight for a vacation next spring that includes a trip to WWoHP in Universal!

If there's still room, I'm in! As for houses, I'd prefer Ravenclaw, then Slytherin, then Hufflepuff, then Gryffindor. Thanks

Fun! Count me in if there's still room. Hufflepuff please. :happy:

xxghost · July 2014

Thank you so much for showing interest!

All four houses are currently filled. All enrolled students are being messaged and added to the group. Please do not worry if you did not make it into the first round of students! We are adding all of you to a waiting list. We have quite a few people drop out (three months is a long time, after all), and we will contact you as soon as a spot becomes available.

Disappointed I missed out on the first round, but I'm cool with being on a waiting list. Would prefer Gryffindor, but would take any vacancy. Thanks!

Accord to this quiz:

I am Gryffindor 1st, Ravenclaw 2nd, Slytherin 3rd, and Hufflepuff 4th.

So do with that what you may, and I'm in!

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
