    ATTN HEADS OF HOUSES:

    When you go to calculate the final percentages, only use the numbers that you have current weights for. So add up the total start weight and calculate the total percent lost for the group.
    :) Good luck everyone!

    Uno - just to clarify - add up the total start weights for only those I have current weights for - not everyone's start weight - right?

    I have a question regarding the food challenge, can the 3 new recipes be 3 different meals e.g Lean Cuisine etc, I mainly have them for dinner.

    Hi,
    I know it's a bit late but can I join this group?
    I just got back from holiday and could use a bit of motivation... Actually watched HP and the Deathly Hallows on the plane ride home, can't wait for the next one!

    GROUP IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED. ALL THOSE WHO HAVE NOT GIVEN START WEIGHTS WILL BE DELETED FROM THE GROUP AND NO MORE MEMBERS ARE ALLOWED TO JOIN.

    I am very sorry but it is just getting too big and to be fair for the competition we do not want to let anymore members join. Good luck everyone! :)

  • Alright I have Slytherins weight loss percent

    This week we lost 0.97% =)

    All of the numbers are on our spread sheet
    https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AtS2gL_AVKG8dEJLNWtWSWVrYWNUdEJGamZwcHgzOHc&hl=en&authkey=CKz0rLoE#gid=0

    I am however missing quite a few names. I let them know on our thread, hopefully i will hear from them soon, but i figured i should give our weekly update in case they are just gone. If the percent changes due to late weigh ins i will let you know.

    Also when do you think we should award points for each week? like a cut off point for weights each week, that way you dont have to worry about changing points for late weigh ins..

    oh and we only have one page left. might want to start a fresh thread =)

    Hi All - I wanted to share with everyone who might be inquiring....when this thread hits the 25th posting on the 20th page; it will automatically begin a new thread for us. We won't have to do it manually.

    The 25th posting on page 20 will automatically include the 2 sentences below:

    < continued at this topic >
    < last part of this topic is here >

    The words "this topic" will be a link to the new thread. Click on those words and post a comment to store the new thread in your "My Topics" section of your message board.

    Ravenclaw house checking in:

    With Samiwhereareyou's numbers, we have 0.78% lost for the week.

    We also have quite a few that haven't weighed in and have put the word out. I'll let you know if there are any updates.

    Good work Slytherin house - but next week we'll kick your butt!!

    Hufflepuff is still waiting on 6 member weighins, but using the SW weights of only those who have, our loss is 0.95% !!

    Well I make that:

    Slytherin 0.97%
    Hufflepuff 0.95%
    Ravenclaw 0.78%

    Fingers crossed Gryffindor are showing them how it's done - I'm curious to know how we've done but it's really late here - blasted time difference!

    Go Gryffindor!!! :bigsmile:
