    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!

    oh thats so funny! good luck to everyone! we're gonna rock it!

    what quidditch position would you all most want to play?

    i think i would make a good beater. i would make a better distraction than a scorer :)

    I'd love to be a seeker. But not cz Harry is one, it would suit me as I'm great with a broom :-)

    That sounds perfect. Haha. And now I'm going to start calling my belly Voldemort.


    As for quidditch, I'd be a chaser. I'd be good at getting the quaffle into the goal posts, but not quite fast enough to be a seeker. ;)


    To anyone who is not already a friend of mine here: please, feel free to send me a request. Just make sure to include a message so I know who you are. All it has to say is "GRYFFINDOR!"

    nice! i feel that way about being a Gryffindor. i don't think i'd be one because of Harry, Ron and Hermione, i think i'd genuinely be a good one! when i first became a fan i thought i might be a Hufflepuff because I'm loyal, but it was between that and Gryffindor because i'll do anything for my friends and stuff like that. I didn't want to be Gryffindor just because people would say its just cuz of Harry, but the thought of getting a scarf and tie and such in black and yellow was upsetting! then, my bestie (a hardcore Ravenclaw) pointed out that a Hufflepuff would definitely NOT care about what colors they had to wear, so it was decided :) Plus, the Sorting Hat takes into consideration your feelings a little, right? At least I'm not Slytherin ;)

    wow, i just LOVE this challenge and all of you fellow Gryffindor Geeks!

    awesome! i think i might also make a good keeper, now that i think of it. but a beater might be more fun...hm. now i'm really leaning towards keeper! lol.
