    I've decided to up my nerd level by one notch and used cafepress.ca to create a "Team Gryffindor" tank top for use at the gym. If anyone's interested I can email them a link to it. Gryff nerds unite! :drinker:

    I think the captains should be the Prefects

    i thought they were the Heads of House..? we could vote for our own prefects and even a head boy and girl for fun if anyone wants to! that would be fun!

    UnoDiamante is our Head of House. There is one for each house and they know who they are.

    Ok, so does anyone really want to be a Prefect? I don't care if there would be any specific duties unless the HoH wants any help with anything. It would mostly just to be extra geeky and fun :)

    My weight was actually 173.1 if the one counts. I noticed that people had the decimals including. I guess that's a little silly of me not to include the .1 thinking about it as every bit counts!!

    maybe we could have a prefect of the week? either by vote or our head of house could select - either by who lost the most weight or gave the most encouragement or answered the most harry potter trivia or created a flawless draught of living death potion on the first go...you know, stuff like that. the the prefect of the week could help the head of house supply cool harry potter stuff or have some input on the weekly challenges.

    which leads me to a question - will challenges be selected by house or will all hogwartians participate in the same challenges?

    that is GREAT stuff! i think it should be maybe a combination of those, like one week it can be the person who lost the most, next week person who answers the most trivia, etc and we just rotate those criteria if we run out. and then the next week the prefect would have to help the head of house with whatever she needs help with that week :) it would be fun!

    and Uno, I love the little tidbits of trivia, but they would be more fun if you asked us a question and we had to try to guess the answer, then tell us who's right, i think! you're awesome for doing this, btw :)

    if you want to be extra geeky, try making new exercises that match the workouts you already do as far as burn, but name them wizard-y things like quidditch practice and spellwork or something :) i'm totally going to do it (just through the end of this challenge, or i would start getting confused)! thanks, MissKMN for the idea!

    I'm thinking up all kinds of good ones now...

    Quidditch Practice
    Quidditch Match
    Breaking into Gringotts
    Whomping Willow Boxing
    Sneaking into Hogsmeade
    Hiking in the Forbidden Forest
    Battling Voldemort
    etc, etc, etc

    It makes working out soooo much more gratifying when you get to log that stuff.

    I love the Harry Potter workout idea! I also just wanted to say that I love this group and it's awesome motivation! I've already lost quite a bit since the original HP post started and Gryffindor house is gonna kick *kitten*!

    request sent! welcome!

    And just a reminder, I'm sending everyone friend requests because it will be easier to support you day by day that way (for me). But if you would rather not friend me, or want to delete me when the challenge is over, MY FEELINGS WILL NOT BE HURT! We can still support each other from here :) Also, if I've somehow missed you, please feel free to add me as well!

    I'm already having a complete ball with you.
    Go Gryffindor! Let's kick some butt!
