Hello everyone, looks like we have some great loss this week again.... what do you think, can we take it 3 weeks in a row???
Well for me I am no help to the house again... I am down to 146.0... at least it is down from last week (146.6) :noway: I just can not get into the 145's... But I must say at least it is not a gain like I did the first week. :bigsmile:
As for this weeks challenge I did great. I started Chalean so I did weights 3 times this week. I think that is another reason I did not loose (that and the snickers I had twice this week for breakfast :blushing: ) I like the weights but I think I need to add the 30ds in with it so I keep my cardio...
And the food challenge I started the week making fruity pebbles (hehe very colorful)... I also made some chicken fajitas with onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, jalapeno, lettuce, (all fresh out of the garden) and corn tortillas. Then we also made jalapeno bacon cheese burgers with fresh corn on the cob and sliced cucumbers and tomatoes.0 -

187.8lb this week that's a 0.8 lb gain due to TOM!!!:sad: :mad:
Really sorry guys!!! Feel bad I've let u down this week!!! Hope will be better next week!!!0 -
Hey everyone. Ok, so people who are my friends will already know this so... short version... my fricking scales were faulty hen I bought them and were weighing 20lbs light!! Yep, 20bs! Thankfully they were weighing accurately (poundage lost) so that is ok. It does however mean that I'm 20lbs back from where I thought I was!
JD can you adjust my start weight and weigh ins?
My weight today (I'm weighing in today because I'm away at the weekend) is 222 so that's another 4lb loss for me this week.
My new goal weight for the challenge is 212 by the way.
I'm really sorry about the f**k up but I just didn't know they were faulty. Am gutted but going to carry on regardless and not let it set me back too much.
Happy Friday and love to all xx
So sorry to be a pain!!! Thanks0 -
Food Challenge:
Seems like some of us have some trouble controlling our cravings so hopefully this challenge will help. Pick one or two foods you know is unhealthy that you tend to binge on (if you have one) and when you feel a craving for that food, take a small serving, put it in a baggie or a bowl and then put the rest away, go in another room and eat it slowly. Really savor the taste and texture of each bite. Hopefully you will find it is more satisfying that way!
Exercise challenge:
Try some type of exercise you either have never done before, or at least havent done in a long time. Can be anything at all..if its been years since you rode a bike, take a bike ride, or try jumping rope, or horseback riding or a new exercise video or go for a hike in a new location...anything that is a little bit different from what you normall do. Sometimes shaking things up makes your metabolism speed up and makes it more interesting for you! Maybe you will find a type of exercise you really enjoy!
new challenges from this week from Uno!
MEMo - fixed for you also, you havent let us down! just by being here and putting the effort in is enough.
i really think we can make it for the 3rd week running! how did we do for challenges this week? if i remember right, it was getting atleast 4 colours in our meals as often as we could during the week, and doing some strength training. a points system was suggested by one of our members who has a friend (sister maybe? sorry cant remember!) in Ravenclaw, and they are using points aswell as encouragement to keep up with the challenges.
would that be something you all would be interested in doing? it would work in a way such as, for each day you incorporate the challenge, you receive a point, and there would be a possible 7 points you could get. how about it?0 -
As for the challanges, I got in five 25-30 minute weight training sessions, and two ninety minute vinyasa flow classes that incorporate a lot of strength training.
Not sure exactly sure how many meals had at least four colors, but definatly one a day anyhow. A lot of my eating is "grazing", or snacking every couple hours. So breaking things into nice clean meals isn't always possible.0 -
weighing in at 141.5!0

What, I'm checking in on time? Told you I'd get better!
Unfortunately I have a small gain this week due to an injury (it's hard to exercise when you can't put weight on your foot).
CW: 2780 -
I almost forgot, oops! :blushing:
257.0 -
Hi JD, yes, that changes that you made are right so that'll be sorted now. Stupid bloody scales. Weight Watchers are getting a strongly worded letter! :grumble:
I had a really naughty (but awesome) weekend so am going to have to put some serious hard work in this week to counteract all the hen party boozing. Ooops!0 -
Haven't weighed in this week, cause I'm having my period. I'll do it next week and promise y'all that I'll have a great loss by then..
Sorry for this week!
I'm sure though I haven't gained anything, so JD check me in at the same weight as last week.
Next week I'll enforce the Hufflepuff-team again!
By the way: food and exercise-challenges completed for this week!0 -
Sorry I'm late weighing in. Was away from home all weekend (and ate whatever I wanted) and I am definately paying for it today.

Sorry I'm late posting. I thought if I waited my weight would drop, but no luck.
I weighed in this morning at 248.8. That's a three pound GAIN!!
I'm so sorry guys. I'm off to the gym now to do some damage control.

right, if ive worked this out correctly, we currently stand at 0.63 % lost :drinker: , using the weights of the 29 of us who have weighed in. we're still waiting on 5 people - andreadawn1012, Tamelaine, Monocot, PaulaPalooza and t_rog. im not too worried because they were all here last week!
(im gonna have a sneaky look in the other House threads to see how we stand! ive great faith in us to make it for a 3rd week running!)
edit: ive just had a thought.. am i correctly calculating the percentage? in the excel chart column for week losses, a loss is written as a positive number ( such as "2") and a gain is written as a negative number (such as "-1"). the cell below this column is programmed to sum all of these numbers, and in doing this, the negative gains are infact taken away from the total loss. this means if, say, 10 people all have a loss of a pound each, this totals 10 lost. but if another 4 people have a gain of 1 pound each, this totals -4, and this means the sum will read a 6 net loss, when in fact 10 lbs have actually been lost. when i calculate the percentage, i use only the losses, because if i didnt, it seemed to me that some peoples losses are just disregarded in the long run because of others gains, which didnt seem fair as they worked hard that week.
so, say 30 people lost a total of 30 pounds. 4 more people had a total gain of -4. when i calculate the percentage i treat those 4 pounds gained as 0 pounds lost, which keeps the loss at 30, because 30 pounds has in fact been lost. i would use that value of 30, along with the total previous weights of the 34 members, and create the percentage that way.
i was just wondering if its okay that i do that. should i be using the net sum instead of what was actually lost?0 -
@ JD92 - I think the calculation should be the net sum. By not including the gains, we are overstating our house total loss which will then overstate our house percentage.0
-
I don't think the other houses are including gains in their calculations actually. Hmm...0
-
I think you're right that it should be sum, but it depends on what the other houses are posting. We need to make sure we're aligned0

Started the week at 236. I think this week will be a great week for me. Stepped on the scale this morning and was very happy. I will probably post my weight on Friday this week because I am going camping this weekend and will not be back until Tuesday. Great job so far house. Keep up the good work!0

My new exercise is trying to run outside. I did the C25K program on a treadmill and need to transition to outside running. I've done it twice so far and it is tough! Now if Mother Nature could cooperate and take the rain away!0

Well hello everyone... any one there??? hello... HHHH EEEEE LLLLLLLLLLL OOOOO (echo)
how has the week gone? anyone tried anything new? Done anything exciting this week? How is your food doing?
Me not so great. I did but some fruit pops and did not buy the normal rocky road ice cream, but I still can not get away from all that sugar. I have tried walking away with a glass of water, BuT, I always go back and eat it anyways... :explode: How do I stop this???
I tried yoga this week and I am not sure about it. I think it is to slow for me... :yawn: I just felt like come on already lets go... I will try it again and give it a fair go.
Good luck everyone.0
