    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?

    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:

    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!

    Thanks Uno!

    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."
    - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

    First of all Uno you are awesome for putting so much work into this. Its definitely up to you when you want to cut this off but it'd probably make sense to cut it off at the next weigh in, at least to make it easy on you and so that the competition doesn't get too confusing. ya know?

    I know I'm not a head, but I think we should cut it off after the Sunday, it keeps the houses about 30-40, perfect for keeping track and getting to know each other. Also it will be better for all of the heads, you wont have to keep changing your charts and you can enjoy it.

    Just a thought

    I love this thread. Like, really I do. I recently got the Deathly Hallows symbol tattooed on the inside of my forearm (not lying lol)....I started my weight loss goals on May 1st without even knowing about this thread. Rock! I am serving in a wedding in Oct. so July 14th (because let's be honest, I'm going to the Midnight showing) would be a "mini goal" for me. I'm IN!!!

    My favorite Harry Potter character is Snape. BEFORE the world knew he was 'good', I knew it, I swore by it and J.K. did NOT let me down lol. YAY HP!
