Hello fellow Slytherins! Looking forward to getting as slim as snakes with everyone.
Okay okay I know that's terribly corny...
Hahaha, I actually thought that when I saw I was in Slytherin!! Totally not corny......;)
Anyway, I am glad to be in a little support group! I just started MFP a few days ago. It's going....OK for me. I did go from pretty much not doing any exercise to walking 12 miles in the past 4 days. Not that great but....it's something for now!0 -
Very happy to be joining Slytherin. Snape is my all time favorite character- he is not just my favorite Slytherin, he is the best character in the entire series! As long as I wasn't a Gryffindor I was going to be happy :laugh:0

Hello slytherins!! So the initial Harry potter thread challenge was to drink at least 8 glasses a day and an extra 1 or 2 for every 30minutes of exercise. Also, to exercise at least 30 minutes a day,
I'm probably going check in daily on my miles and what other exercises Isis for the day. I really need to start being more consistent! Good luck everyone and I love being supportive. We can do this!! Can't wait for everyone's check-in Sunday ! & also a big thank you to the head of the house for keeping stats!

I am a Ravenclaw through and through, but Slytherin does appeal to my ambitious-to-a-fault nature, I suppose. I really like Snape... what a fantastic character.
I am failing at the extra challenges this week because it's finals week and I've been too preoccupied with chemistry (in lab I like to pretend I'm in potions, hahaha) to make it to the gym. But... that will be over tomorrow.
Now let's go kick some Gryffindor butt! XD0 -

Me too. He has and always will be my favorite and it makes me angry what she did to him in the end. I would have gladly traded in Ron and several other of the Weasley clan and Harry too (after he beat Voldy of course) if only he could have lived!0 -
Hi Everyone,
While this is not my favorite house the characters display very interesting personalities. The cunning and sneakiness of those characters does appeal to me on some level. So I really don't have a favorite character from this house. I agree with the person who said that Malfoy could change if the circumstances were different. Based on the ending of the book in the epilogue- I get the feeling he was humbled by the whole experience and that helped him changed. It would be an interesting book for her to write- on the characters and life after Voldermort. I am ready for this challenge and to help Slytherin take the house points for this challenge.
Challenge wise- I am doing well- exercise has been good so far this week over 1 hour a day and water is also going well.0 -

Exactly! I am the same way. I would have traded in Hermione first (the movie version of that character is sooooooo irritating/the book version isn't too bad)
On the goal front I need to still work on drinking enough water. Tomorrow is a new day- the key is to remember my 64 oz water bottle...0 -
So great to be in this house. This time we beat the Griffs without them getting extra points at end! Ha!0

I've definitely been slacking on my water, must try harder! I found this stuff called crystal lite in an American candy store here,. I've seen it mentioned on here before so I thought I'd try it and it's really good! Only problem is that it's super expensive, I guess because it's imported to the UK, guessing it isn't that much over in the States. Also peanut butter granola bars - how great are they!
(sorry slightly off topic there)0 -
Snape is definitely my favourite Slytherin! He's so dry and clever, love it!
I'm really hoping to be back on track this week - I had 10 days off MFP whilst my OH visited from abroad and gained a bit so I'm back on the wagon and hoping for a loss on Sunday.
It's not my first online weight loss challenge (I ran one for a Weight Watcher community a couple of years ago) but it's my first MFP challenge - and I do find these challenges keep me motivated and bring out my competitive streak a little! So yesterday , hopped straight back on the wagon, clean eating, exercise every day and already feeling better (although my first day back - yesterday - I won't lie, it was a real effort to get to the gym for the first time in nearly 2 weeks!). This week I'm also buying healthy foods that I REALLY love (salmon, for example!) - I don't always buy my favourite healthy foods because they can be quite expensive, but the extra few £ is worth it in lbs and lack of resentment about being on a "diet" - especially when getting back on track!0 -
Hahah that's so funny! I'd be right next to you mixing up those potions. Good luck on your exam and get right on the exercise train!0

Been doing great! I have probably drank about 15 glasses of water every day this week (trying to flush out a bad lunch from Monday). MWF I do my strength training workout from New Rules of Lifting for Women, Tues and Sat I do a pace/tempo run (interval running), and Thursday I do a slow endurance jog. I normally take Sundays off but for this challenge I'll probably just go for a 30 minute walk with the dogs. =]0 -
Did you know???
Evanna Lynch found out about the auditions for the role of Luna Lovegood after reading a news post on MuggleNet. She has been a long-term fan of the series and the site. She made Luna’s lion hat in HBP and created some of the jewelry worn by Luna in the movies.
i'll try and post interesting quotes or info everyday. This bit was from mugglenet

Doing well. Water is a non-issue for me - I usually end up drinking about 160oz of water a day. I don't drink anything else though, so it is easy to get a lot of water in.So how is everyone doing with the weekly challenge so far? we are half way through the week.. what kind of workouts is everyone doing?
For workouts this week...I have done at least 30-45 minutes on the elliptical each day. I did a little strength (some pushups and chest flys and triceps) on Monday and last night I did a TX2 workout. Tonight I have a busy schedule and won't be able to fit in a workout, so I spent my lunch hour taking a very brisk walk.
The sun is shining today and it is actually warm out - this type of weather combined with the lifestyle changes I have made since joining MFP and I feel like I could fly. Awesome!!0 -
I think I am rocking the challenge! I did 47 minutes of interval training on the elliptical yesterday. I also drank 10 glasses of water. today I am aiming for 12 to 14 and will probably do some turbo jam later since I can't make it to the gym due to my hubby going to church tonight. (I stay home with my son on Wednesday evenings and we go as a family on Sunday mornings.)0

I know, movie!Hermione is quite annoying, but I can identify with Book!Hermione. I love reading and learning new things. I seriously think if she wasn't a muggle-born she would have been sorted into Slytherin. She came up with some really sneaky ideas!0 -

I have been doing pretty good! The water is usually not too much of an issue and I haven't missed a day of workout. I am doing the 30 Day Shred almost everyday plus running or other cardio every other. I love the energy that comes with this lifestyle change!! Weighed in at the Dr today...you all are gonna love my contribution to the team this week, I can tell! (Not to toot my own horn or anything

I hope everyone is having a great week!! Today I did 4 miles with the dog, I'm about to do abs and arms with Chris freytags 10 lb slim down (free ondemand!) after dinner, so thatl be another hour.. Water intake is great, I usually chug 3 glasses of water right before the next meal, helps me get full:)
Is anyone interested in doing weekly challenges? Like 15 miles a week to start with?and no eating after 9pm? Something loke that.. But i guess itll be discussed Sunday.I think we can all really help motivate eachother, the weather is getting perfect:)
I'm excited to get to know all my fellow slytherins, gosh I just love harry potter!

I just joined two days ago (I think) but I mostly log in from my phone so I'll probably post in the evenings. Just an intro - I'm a 43 yr. old mother of 2, and I'm in pretty good shape. I like MFP because I like to track my nutrients and because it keeps me on track with my snacking! I would munch all day if I could, and skip regular meals. LOL
Anyhoo... I hope this challenge will get me to workout more (I do Pilates once a week, lots of gardening now the spring is here, and I try to speed walk/jog a few days a week too), and to stick to my calorie goal.
I hope to get to know my fellow Slytherins - and to show everyone we're not ALL bad!!

I loooooooove Evanna Lynch. I think she's an AWESOME Luna. But, that's beside the point.
As far as the challenge goes, water isn't an issue with me because its all I drink anymore. I usually get 12-14 glasses of water in a day, but there are some times when I feel like I'm water logged. I have a Nalgene bottle, so I just feel refilling it all day long.
Activity-wise, I do Couch to 5K, The Biggest Loser DVDs the Biggest Loser - Ultimate Workout game, Dance Central on Xbox Kinect, and lots of walking all throughout the week. I'm trying to get used to as much activity as possible.
Hope other Slythies are having a good week. =D0 -
Had a really great day today! Went to zumba and drank 90 oz of water and counting.0
-
First things first. I average about 8-10 glasses of water each day.
As for exercising I have been walking anywhere from 3-5 miles everyday or every other day!
I do at minimum of 45 minutes of Zumba each day. (I have the dvds and the wii game)
Also, as a warm up I do the Just Dance 2 for the Wii.
As for my favorite Slytherin character, hmm, I am not really sure. If I had to say anyone particular person, It would be Draco Malfoy. Only because I met him!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He came to Waddington, NY fishing I live 10 minutes from there and happened to be fishing there at the same time that he was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
