Here's my stats for the week....
9/18/11 Sunday
CW: 137.5
GW: Oct 1 = 135
OWL: 1 point per pile kick = 120
NEWT: water instead of soda = 35
HP (exercise minutes) =
Monday to Sunday = 55 minutes
I think it's funny.... I drink diet soda all day long, breakfast, lunch, dinner and all times in the middle. The NEWT challenge was exchange a soda for water. Big challenge for me, but I think there was some strange hand in this whole thing! It was a busy week and I never got to make my lunch so I had to go out for lunch every day. I pick my lunch spots based on who has a fountain soda machine! Subway, Quiznoes, Togo's, Soprano's, and a small little mom and pop place.... all 5 had non working fountain soda machines or non working diet soda drinks!! So no soda for lunch all week! How strange is that....
I think that's a great coincidence

Good Morning Gryffindor
Last Monday: 164.0 lbs
Today: 162.6 lbs!
Oct 1 GW: 160lbs
Newts: 12 glasses of water per day (personal best) x 4 Days = 20 Points
Owls: 0 Plie Kicks = 0 Points
House Points: Monday 12th Sept to Sunday 18th Sept totalled 707 Minutes = 707 Points0 -
Last Monday: 158.2 lbs
Today: 159.4
I am sure that this is due to pre-TOM
Oct 1 GW: 150lbs
*Newts: 10 glasses of water per day x 5 days = 50 Points
*Owls: 30 Plie Kicks = 30 Points
I seem to start well with the owls but then I just completely forget about them. Grrrr
*House Points: Monday 12th Sept to Sunday 18th Sept totaled 535 Minutes = 535 Points0 -
WEIGHT this morning - 123lb, which means I lost only 0.2lb this week, even though I've been around 122.5lb for the past four or five days! Still, to my surprise, I've already surpassed my October goal weight of 124lb! :bigsmile:
35 NEWTS - No longer have sugary drinks, and they taste even more disgustingly sweet to me now so that's a permanent change, so on each day of teh challenge I either replaced a glass of wine with a large soda water, or drank my recommended amount of water.
45 OWLS - Didn't really get into this exercise, only kept it up for three days; I do get masses of other exercise but I know it's not really in the spirit of the challenge to choose not to do it, so I'm sorry about that.
991 HOUSE POINTS - That's still averaging over two hours a day, helped by a 13 mile hike!

OWLs & NEWTs for Week 4 of the September Challenge (9/23-10/2):
This is the last week for our September Inter-House Challenge! Prefects will be announced tomorrow as well as the updated standings between Houses (as soon as I get all the numbers in)!
You guys are doing WONDERFULLY, so let's keep it up and finish strong!!!
OWL (exercise): Seated Drop Kicks (http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/health/fitness/fitness-plan-two-weeks-oct06#slide-1)
I wouldn't try to switch legs in between each rep for this one, it seems a little complicated to do it that way. Instead, I would probably do as many as you can do on one side, then switch. Just to keep it simple, you'll earn 1 OWL for every one you do.
As an example, if you do 25 drop kicks on the right side, and 20 drop kicks on the left side, you would earn 45 OWLs total. If you have questions, please ask.
NEWT (food): Post a recipe sometime this week! Either something you already love, something you just found, or something you've just been wanting to try. If you have time, also make one of the new recipes we all post. You will earn 5 NEWTs for the week for posting a recipe, and 5 more NEWTs if you try a new recipe this week. 10 NEWTs total possible.
Good luck this week!
***Don't forget! You have until Monday to post your results from Week 3, so don't feel pressured to start the new challenge for Week 4 before you finish Week 3!***0 -

PREFECT TIME!!!:
Oh, man are you guys amazing! I'm gonna keep this short and sweet, but if you ever have any questions please ask them here or PM me. Also, here are our Gryffindor guidelines for anyone who needs a refresher (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/bronwenhilary/view/the-guide-to-being-a-successful-gryffindor-144313).
Our prefects this week are:
Peariel (for weight loss percentage) and MindyBlack (for OWLs & NEWTs)! Congrats to you both!
Here are your badges, wear them proudly (paste this in your signature, but change IMG to img):
Kelsue35, you had the biggest percentage of everyone, but I'm not sure it's fair to the people who are doing weight, since you're doing inches. You still did AWESOME this week, tho, so I'm naming you an honorary Prefect. There's a third badge in that pile up there for you
Everyone else, you're all doing AMAZINGLY! Keep pushing, and make me proud!
Here's the chart:
We've had some moving around of the Heads of Hufflepuff and Slytherin House, so the weekly results are still on hold for this week. We should have them up by Monday, but I'll keep you posted.
Don't forget to check in for Week 3 on by Monday, and check out the Week 4 OWLs & NEWTs!0 -

HELP!!!! like i know i have to post the link thingy and lower cae the img but were exactly do you create your signature? on my profile or where?

Ok, click on the community tab and find Signature (it will be with the blue words with orange yellow triangle things).
Copy the link above and paste it in the Signature box. BEFORE you click save, change the IMG at the beginning and the end of the link to img (just change it to lowercase). Then click save.
It's confusing at first, but once you get it, it comes in quite handy 0 -
yay i finally got it after like 20 tries lol0

My recipe for the week: Black Bean Quesadillas
It's not so much a recipe as a few things I throw together to make a very quick and easy nutirtious meal.
This is for one individual but you can make about 6 out of one can of beans.
1- 8 inch flour tortilla 110 cals. 2.5 g fat
1 oz pepper jack cheese 100 cals 8g fat
1/4 cup seasoned black beans canned 70 cals 1/2 g fat
1 teaspoon olive oil 40 cals 5 g fat
2 T salsa 10 cals 0 fat
Toal calories 330, fat 16 grams
Heat skillet (I use cast iron) add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Place tortilla in skillet. Add shredded or crumbled cheese and beans. Fold in half and brown both sides slowly and evenly. When brown and cheese is melted remove from skillet and serve with salsa. I like to dip mine in salsa but my son puts his inside.
You can tweak the recipe, using low fat cheese but I have never found low fat pepper jack, also whole wheat tortillas would be great.

Can anyone give me a link to add a gryffindor crest? I am so lame. I followed the directions exaclty, I thought. I downloaded 2 pics to my computer, then added them to facebook. I copied the URL and added to my signature line changing the IMG to img. I am not sure what I did wrong. The only thing I can think of is that I didn't actually post it on my page, just in my profile pics. Do I actually need to put in on my wall? Any other ideas about what I might be doing wrong?
When I added the prefect badge from the link it worked like a charm (pun intended).0
