    Ah! Thanks for putting me in Slytherin! I've got my crest in my siggy, and ready to kick booty. Do we weigh in once a week or something?

    Yes, weigh in on your house's page every Sunday. :)

    ATTN HEADS OF HOUSES:

    When calculating your house’s weight loss percentage, take the number of pounds lost in the past week and divide it by the total original weight of your house (from the previous Sunday). Then multiply that by 100.

    The next week, you do the same thing using this weeks weigh in. We only want the percentage of weight loss from the past week, not starting from week 1 so we know each week how we did. :smile: Good luck everyone!

    This Hufflepuff is SO IN! funny enough, most of my 10 pound weight gain during college came from a Harry Potter internship in England where I ate far too much delicious Cream, chocolate, butter, and delicious delicious beer. I can't say I regret it at all, but it's time to drop those pounds I so happily acquired.

    I forgot my start weight so I would like to join and my starting weight is 137.6 my goal is 125 but I think that might be pushing it so I am going to say 128.

    Haha..thanks JD! It will be a bit easier after my last final tomorrow.. I dont know if we should cut the group off at any point..I dont want to exclude any HP fans, but since we are kinda doing a competition maybe we should? idk..what do you guys think? Should we cut it off after this Sunday's weigh in or just let it keep going?

    I think cutting it off might be a good idea, and easier on you and the heads of our houses. It is starting to get a little bigger than I think anyone was anticipating.

    Think the decision is totally up to you, Uno.

    I've joined challenges before, that run for several weeks and end up being one of only 3 or 4 still posting!!!! So although, you have loads now, some may drop out.

    It all depends how much extra work it places on you and the other Heads of House.

    I'm all for it being kept simple:bigsmile:

    I think it would be more fair as a competition to cut it off after this Sunday. It would be sad for the other fans, but they could always branch off and start their own. You can only do so much, ya know?

    Harry Potter post of the day:

    QUOTE OF THE DAY:
    "harry let the tears fall, his lips pressed hard together, looking down at the thick snow hiding from his eyes the place where the last of lily and james lay, bones now, surely, or dust, not knowing or caring that their living son stood so near, his heart still beating, alive because of their sacrifice and close to wishing, at this moment, that he was sleeping under the snow with them."
