Eating: 7
House Spirit: 3


House Points:
165pts for exercise minutes

So I think I am going to give the 17 day Diet a try. My body responds really well to low carb (or should I say my body loves holding on to carbs). Just not sure how well I will do considering the amount of exercise I get (ok I don't exercise as much as I would like, but I do run every morning for a good 45 minutes, circuit train with Jillian 2-3 times a week, and walk in the evenings with the family) Day 1 tomorrow- I'll keep everyone posted.

Today's Stats:
Food: 0 (went over on sugar- will do better starting tomorrow!)
Exercise: +1 (yeah I actually didn't step on the scale this morning- wanted to, but wanted my OWL more!!!)
Spirit- +1 (checking in now thank you very much)
House Points (+35)

Weekly Stats:
Owls 3; House Points 70

Hello Fellow Ravenclaws!

Checking in this week at 278.0 which is down 1.8 from last week I also tracked my OWLs for the first time in a while and I'm adding 3 OWLs for Exercise and 6 OWLs for Water. I'm also adding 35 house points toward our inter-house victory! I know it's not much but it's something and it's made me feel better about moving more.

This week's Food OWLs will definitely be a good goal for me. I have a MAJOR sweet-tooth and staying away from that sugar is always a battle.

Good luck to everyone and yay for all who have had a chance to get on Pottermore! Isn't if freakin' awesome?!?!?

I just read that DH2 will be released on DVD/Blu-ray in November! Just in time for my birthday!! :bigsmile:

Food-4 OWLs (I'm on the 17 Day Diet which really stresses getting at least your 64 oz in)
Exercise-3 OWLs
Spirit-4 OWLs
House points-104

Can't wait to get in my first official full week this week. Staying off the scale will be a challenge for me lol.

tameko2

Hi Ravenclaws, I'm going to join you.

So this is our second week, counting from when? Last thursday (the 8th)?

Before I report my stats for this week I just wanted to say that I love love love your Dr,Who ticker background craft338! Donna and number 10 may be my favorite doctor companion team

SO I was at 159.4 today so that is down .6 lb from last week. Not a big loss but at least it is in the right direction

Week 1:
OWLs: total = 16
Food- 6
Exercise- 7
Spirit- 3

House points: 531

Just popping in to say hello! I had an awful night last night (way too many empty calories), but I'm just going to make sure the rest of the week is solid to make up for it. Not watching the scale to see how much damage I did will be the hardest part (ack). Unfortunately, I did not manage it today, nor did I stay under my sugar goal.

I only recently added that sugar column and whew, that's going to be tough for me. I never realized how far I was going over daily. Ouch.

Anyway, I have a really early morning tomorrow (taking a friend to and from the hospital for a surgery -- send some good vibes her way, please!), so I'll be trying to get some sleep tonight. I'm not usually in bed until around 4am, so this is going to be a challenge.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Hello fellow Ravenclaws!! My weekly House point exercise total (last sun through this sat) is 333.

Also, I know this has nothing to do with our house, though it seems very fitting...GO RAVENS!!

Not a ravens fan, but I don't mind seeing the Steelers get crushed :devil:

Go Eagles! (The Ravenclaw mascot is an eagle! )

Good evening all. Just wanted to pop in and weigh in before SUnday ends. I weighed in at 175 this morning....a one pound gain from last week. Not sure what's going on...I'm under my calories everyday and exercising, netting calories. Maybe it was the stress of anticipation for my race this morning...who knows. Hopefully this will be a better week.

144 house points for today
1 OWL for the water
1 OWL for posting and
! OWL for exercise challenge.

I'll have to go back to tally up weekly totals of all. I'll report back in the morning with those.

Good night all and god bless!

azsuzi

Hi Ravenclaws, I'm going to join you.

So this is our second week, counting from when? Last thursday (the 8th)?

Second week counting from when you weigh it. Weigh-ins are any time Friday -Monday each week - choose whatever day works best for you but no later than Monday. Start counting your points on the day you weigh in.

Welcome to Ravenclaw!!

I'll post the house results tonight. Hope I don't have to put anyone in detention! :laugh:

Good Morning fellow Ravenclaws!!!!!! How is every today? This Ravenclaw is doing alright- especially considering my littlest one caught some kind of cold last night and was up ALL NIGHT LONG- like seriously I got 3 hours of sleep total and not all together in a chunk, but I am so damn proud of myself for getting up at 5 and running anyway- and I felt great out there today!

Today's Totals:
Food- +1 (I went over with natural sugar but didn't have ANY added sugar today so yeah!!!!)
Exercise- +1 (I really wanted to step on that damn scale this morning but I fought the urge)
Spirit: +1 (here I am!)

Weekly Totals:
Owls: 6 House Points: 138

I survived my marathon deck staining this weekend. Whew! that was alot of work. It was warm this weekend, but the high was 87 on Saturday, and not as hot as forecast for Sunday. Plus, I was working on the North side of my house, so I never was in direct sun. It did break the record for consecutive days of sun for September (8) and eight consecutive days above 80. Now you know why anyone from the PNW is so pale skinned and that slugs thrive.

*Progress towards week of 9/11 OWLS -9/12 update*
House Spirit (post ) - +1
Food (sugar) - +1 If I understand the rules, my biggest sugar offender is raisins, and that doesn't count against me.
Exercise (Don't look at scale) - +1 - not counting official weigh in. This is HARD!

*September exercise minutes*
Month to date total = 230
Week 9/11 to date total = 60
9/12 exercise minutes - 30 min walking

Popping in to say good morning Ravenclaw! Did my first day of C25K today, which I enjoyed. I think my body needs a rest from the exercise tomorrow though. Been doing a lot of running and I usually try to have one "chill" day a week. Unfortunately I had to step on a scale today even though I weighed in yesterday.....had to do Monday weigh in for my Hubba Hubba for the Holidays challenge. But....I will not set another toe on a scale until my next Sunday Ravenclaw weigh in. Yay!

bethanyweathers

Afternoon Ravenclaws! Slept late today and missed breakfast. Oh well. Starting my first day of C25K today, so we'll see how that goes. Wish me luck!

@azsuzi, I didn't have any exercise points (no extra exercise at least...) but a question for the rest of the house: Since getting to school I've been walking/riding my bike to class everywhere and I am still set as a "sedentary" lifestyle. Do you think I should change it to "lightly active?"

@bethany, GOOD LUCK!

Hi Ravenclaw! Checking in today just to say hi! My roommate has had a cold since school began three weeks ago, and I think it finally got to me. I'm going to try and get some extra sleep today to make up for it!

@minniebee: you should either log all of the walking and bike riding as exercise or change your setting. You're burning more calories now, so you need to account for it.

I have mine set as "lightly active," because I do walk everywhere at school.

Thanks Ladies! I'm excited to eat more!!! :drinker:

psb13

hello to all!! this week is going to be a real challenge for me. staying off of the scales for an entire week?!?!?! what kind of craziness is this?? it was really hard, but i didn't get on it today. thus far doing ok with the added sugars. keeping up pretty well with exercise minutes also so far. hope life doesn't get in the way again this week!!

tameko2

I'm going to count my weighin from Sat since that was for my xmas challenge. We'll go with 179.8

I guess I'm happy to see the 179 instead of 180 but this is week 3 of more or less no loss.

I already broke the rule for weighing myself today (I wanted to see if TOM was affecting me. the answer is no.) but I didn't weigh in yesterday. Normally I don't have much added sugar (not a junkie for it the way I am for fat!) so that shouldn't be an issue but yesterday I had dessert....sigh.

And I'm posting to show my spirit! So 2 posts, 1 no weigh in, 1 no sugar so far. Haven't had dinner but I know I'll be under on sugar anyhow - like I said its generally not a difficult one for me.

Absolutely any weight lost at all. I used to say 5lbs a month was a good goal for me but this month so far has been nothing so...lets aim for 177.8

Samiwhereareyou

missbeccaanne

Good evening Ravenclaws,
I had an awesome day. We went to Hollywood today and I tried on a ton of clothes(those shop attendants at the Beverly center just loved this) and found out a ten is just way too big now!!
Had to share.
Hope Everyone is having a Happy Monday!

azsuzi

The house results are in for week 1 of the September challenge.
The top weight loss goes to: momofJandA losing 2.22%
momofJandA also earned the most OWLs, but since she can't hold both Prefect positions, the second place goes to _gwen with 20 OWLs.

Prefects, you will be choosing the challenges for week 3. momofJandA, choose an exercise challenge and _gwen, choose a food challenge. Email them to me before Thursday so that I can post them for the coming week.

Our average House Points for the week that will be reported for the House Cup competition is 220.6 and our Quidditch score (overall weight loss percentage for the whole house) is 0.483%.

Well done everyone! We should all be working towards next weeks points by now. Good luck!!
