    @dawn ohhh noo, nevermind the scale, I hope you're feeling great, the scale will move soon, I'd say just keep switching t up every maybe two weeks until something boosts the weight, maybe the exercises too , your body moght be grettig use to a workout routine so youre not burning as mich?Just stay active! I'm glad you have a good attitude about this though

    @cris glad to have you!

    Failure does not cope with persistence!! Let's keep this thread active and full of support!!

    I weighed in yesterday (Friday is my weigh in day, I'll use that throughout the challenge) and I haven't lost any weight in THREE weeks. Or gained. Not even an OUNCE! Four weeks ago, I gained .8.
    The first two weeks I didn't gain/lose, I was at 1450 calories. Then he upped it to 1850 to go to 1lb/week to see if that would change anything. Nope.

    Staying motivated and pushing through is getting really difficult.
    Good luck everyone else!! Can't wait to see how we do!

    Glad to see your staying motivated, you can do this! :D

    Sounds like most people have been doing pretty well!! I went a couple days without exercising, but my diet has been pretty good. Even if I go over my calorie count a bit, it still tells me I will lose weight in a few weeks :) And considering I pretty much have done NO exercising for the past year or two, it's a huuuuuuuge accomplishment for me to have worked out for 4 days this past week!!

    Also, kinda random advice...but I've seen some people saying they have a hard time getting pop, other sugary drinks, etc out of their diet. I used to drink pop almost everyday (when I was skinny, ironically haha). I started drinking more water in college because I was always so dehydrated after marching band rehearsals. If you slowly cut out the amount of pop you drink per day (say, go from 3 cans to 2, 2 to 1, etc.), you will soon find that you crave it less. Once in a while I still crave a coke, and I'll treat myself to a nice big cup of it Fridays or some other special day. I also crave flavored drinks sometimes, so I'll drink Diet Snapple to fix that. Snapple isn't exactly super healthy, but since it is tea it is at least somewhat better than pop. Maybe. Hehe.


    Question...When we weigh in tomorrow, do we post our weights here or on the main Harry Potter board?

    Hi Everyone, I hope the weigh in tomorrow will be good to me but I am not so sure. Last week was a terrific week and I actually lost more weight than I thought I would. This week, I think I may have gained some muscle so it might go up. In addition, was very challenging, while I was able to work out 5 days, my eating habits have been off and not as regular as needed. Hoping to get back on track next week. The good news that I will go a week or two with no change then lose a couple of pounds in one week. We will see what tomorrow brings.

    How was everyone's week?? Feelings towards your exercise & food ? Vents? Confessions? NSv?

    Remember , were all in this together!! Need more motivation or support?? Voice it:) this is what this thread it about!

    Go slytherin=o)

    P.s I'm thinking for the people that want it we can assign/ pick partners from the group to say what eachother's weekly/saily personal goals are and keep in contact with them to have accountability? ( miles a week/ whatever the group challange is etc.)
    Just a thought:)

    Apparently, A lot of people tend to drop out/ give up early on these threads. I think it'll be a great way to keep everyone here)

    I am in the exact same boat! I lost two lbs last week, have been on point in the gym, but went out to eat two nights so...pretty nervous about tomorrow. Hopefully I can pull something off for our house.

    Hi y'all. Just checkin' in, again. I don't know how often we are supposed to update or just our weigh in once a week. Also, I am confused about where we report our weight. I am thinking that we do it in the spreadsheet.

    Today, I walked/jogged and will get my 8 glasses in.

    Thanks, y'all.

    Ok folks, not the house I would have chosen, but here I am, and I am bringing some firepower to this fine school.

    May1: 216.8
    May8: 213.0

    Total: -3.8lbs

    Bring it.

    Read all the books twice, seen the movies. Favorite book is the one where Fred and George raise a ruckus and quit the school.

    I'm at 190.0 today for a loss of 1.5 pounds this week! I've logged it on the chart. I lost my weight really early in the week and have been the same weight for the passed 4 days (I weigh in daily) so I should be due for a nice loss sometime early this week.

    I had a rather high calorie BBQ lunch yesterday, but made it up by getting a lot of exercise in and eating a very light supper. Today started out with a high calorie brunch (we eat brunch on Sundays instead of breakfast and lunch) my DH and kids made me my favorite for Mothers Day, so I'll be sure to get plenty of exercise and eat light for the rest of the day. They did make it healthier than it used to be made, by first boiling then using a little olive oil to pan fry & brown my home fries, instead of the old way of deep frying. They also used Laughing Cow light instead of margarine on my toast. It was really an eye opener to log it in and see how high it was calorie wise even with the healthier choices and minus the bacon....really shows me how bad it used to be, made the old way.

    I started this week at 387.6 and dropped to 386.2. I know I didn't do enough exercise, but things have been crazy busy, so I'm proud that the scale went down some. I'm getting myself back in gear this morning. I did drop a few inches though, so I'm proud of that too.

    I also kinda like the idea of partners. =D Or, like in the books, dorm-mates. There were like five people to each dorm in a House. So that might be cool too.

    hiya!

    wow loving this challenge so glad i made it in on time!

    well a bit about me im 29 and a mum of 2 looking to loose 48lbs in total to get down to me pre children weights!

    question though cos i signed up this friday i logged this weeks weight 184 (as i normally weigh on a wednesday) so technically this is this weeks weight and my starting weight for last week should be 186? should i change the starting weight on the spreadshead? otherwise it looks like ive been the same for 2 weeks when technically i lost 2lbs.

    Anyways i love harry potter! i only just got into it! began reading the books in feb and have now read them all and loved them! watched all the films apart from deathly hallows which im watching tonight and i cannt wait for the last one to come out in the cinema!

    As for my favourite slytherin hmmmm i dunno its either snape or draco i think but then at the same time i do quite feel for narcissa malfoy as well!

    Good luck everyone!!!

    Also fellow slytherins feel free to add me! can u put in a message you are from here so i know and can support for the challenge!

    You are all doing AMAZING.
    I definitely want a partner from the house. :] That would be a fun way to stay connected - it is hard to keep up with EVERYONE in the threads! (even though I want to).

    We are gonna DO this.


    Also: even though I didn't lose weight - in the last month I've lost 5 inches! Bittersweet because it isn't from my tummy area, but still awesome to see some numbers improving!

    Planning : Okay, So I'm thinking we'll have a 24hour window for people to post on whether or not they want partners/roomates
    Since there's 30+ people, we can have 3-4? roommates or just partners.

    We could divide them by their goal for lbs lost for july14th, or weight for some friendly competition.
    What do you guys think?

    I cant wait for this week's challenge!!

    Remember: you can also aim for going above and beyond the challenge, whatever you think is best for you to push yourself to YOUR potential.

    Also, depending on the challenge, we can maybe switch partners/roommates weekly to accommodated the personal challenge for that particular week

    Let me know what you guy think and who wants either a partner or some roommates:)


    On Another note..

    GO SLYTHERIN! :o)

    For those have you have lost, CONGRATS! Keep up the great work and keep striving!:)

    For those of you who havent/gained. Relfect on your week and accommodate accordingly. Maybe be more cautious of your stats and make some goals, more goals more glory. Be proud of yourself withyour commitment and it will pay off. I promise!

    Also, the number on your scale just might not be a good indication, if you know you tried your best it's really all that counts, the scale will catch up to you!

    Whatever you do DONT GIVE UP! Once again, we're all in this together and every little bit counts


    Personal: This week's exercise consisted of going to 60 to 90 minute vinyasa yoga class 5 times this week early in the morning , and walking the dog (which i need to do more of)

    I just started the hundredpushup challange this week with a friend, http://hundredpushups.com/ (a lot people start with girl pushs ups, which is still great, check it out:) ) MWF is a poplar routine and rest days on the weekends, maybe we can get some people on there starting it together for motivation and getting in the routine!

    and on alternate days I'm doing "8 minute abs" on youtube along with my own abs routine.

    Just letting you guys know, ill post my goals on here later today for the week/once the challange is up, so I'm hold myself accountable for next weeks reflection...haha sorry for so much typing/posts, I hope you guys arent annoyed, but it's really how I keep myself motivated and hopefully others..
