    darthwein - we started out with 39, and i think the other houses were smiliar, all within 2-3 people in number on either side. we have 5 members who havent weighed in for the 2nd week in a row and havent posted at all either. i might give them a few more days to show face, and if they do they can join in for next sunday, if not.. well. we lose 5 in our number :frown:

    Here's this week's challenges. These can be found on the main HP challenge thread from UnoDiamante as well.

    Challenges for this week:

    Food challenge:
    Try to get at least 4 different colors in your meals this week. Different colored foods have different nutrients so the more colorful your plate the more different nutrients you are getting! :)

    Exercise Challenge:
    Try to do at least two days worth of strength training this week (doesnt have to be extreme, just must work on muscle building rather than or in addition to cardio.) :)

    our pounds lost is now 46.8 after a few more weighins (thank you my lovelys for checking in :heart: ). thats the weight of your average 6 year old child. thats an entire person! :noway:

    If we're counting as losing whole people, can we count the five non-weigh-in-ers as a loss? :bigsmile: :wink: :tongue:

    Is the food colour challenge to have 4 colours in every meal? Because I definitely have not been getting enough veggies this week. But there's my kick to get in to gear.

    The exercise part is easier; I have boot camp 3 mornings a week so I get a pretty good balance of resistance and cardio. This morning's "theme" was static and active so we alternated between the 2.

    Don't give up! You can do this! We all have rough patches, just give it your best and you can never be disappointed with that.

    okay, House, i am in need of some assistance!

    the final weighin for this challenge is the day HP is out at the movies - July 14th. i leave for my vacay on the 10th, so i will be out of the country on the 14th. im hoping i will still have internet access (steal my dads iphone!) and i can use a notepad and calculator and do all the percentages the old fashioned way, but in the event that i DONT, i may need a Deputy Head of House to step in a do it for me.

    any takers? :flowerforyou: pretty please? i just need someone to record the losses and use it with the previous weeks total weight to make the percentage.

    So I was lurking in ravenclaw. My sisters in that house. I was noticing that they add house points when they complete the challenges. Like if they did the strength training 2 days they would add two points. If they got colors in their meals they would add a point for each day they did that. they put their points in their signatures.

    I kinda like that idea because it holds me accountable for doing the challenges.

    Anyways just a thought. I'm sure they won't mind if we copy them lol.

    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

    kat - i added 20lbs to your SW, changed your goal weight to 212 as requested, then added 20 to your current weight (last sundays weight) then i added 20 again to your previous weight (sunday before last). so as of last week your loss still is 13. is that ok?

    i cant imagine the frustration at being so close to onederland then being set back :( you are doing so amazing that im sure you'll fly through those pesky 20 pounds! you've lost 5.4% of your SW with this challenge, its amazing! you're easily the leader of the board right now! im abit jealous to be honest :laugh:

    Kat/aab - thank you!! i cant say for sure that i will or wont have net access, so we'll just have to see when the time comes.

    cgeiser - we can do that :smile: we will have to come up with some creative prizes of some sort, or atleast an incentive... hmm..

    monocot - Uno posts the next weeks challenges on a sunday on the main HP challenge thread. here is the link to it, if you post in it, the thread will appear under 'My Topics' so you can access it easily!

    wooo diverchic, victory on and off the scales!! :drinker:

    how are we all feeling about tomorrow (or as of 2 minutes ago, later on this morning :tongue: ) ? im pretty sure im down from 219 even with TOM, ive eaten better almost everyday this week. im also nearing the 5 litre mark for water today :smile: i might not quite make 216 that i started the challenge with, no way ill get to 213.6 from week 2 but im hoping for 217 at the least. 2 lbs aint too shabby for me!
