    Hey, Gryffindors! Does anyone have a problem with weighing in on Monday mornings? If not, I think we can make that our day. Does anyone else have a challenge idea to start? If not we'll start with a calorie burn challenge.

    Let's start kinda small and work our way up to some big burns, tho. This week we'll have a minimum calories burned goal of 1500 per person (for the whole week). If you do more than that normally, set yourself a higher goal and post it so we can cheer you on. If you have a hard time sticking to your workouts (like I sometimes do, lol), let's aim for the minimum and work our way up!

    Try to give yourselves mini rewards for completing your workouts every day to keep you motivated. Things like a half hour to read a book or take a relaxing bath, or to have a small treat after dinner or something. Little things to look forward to make the big things seem not so far away :)

    And please reply back if you can to let me know what you think of weighing in on Mondays!

    Ok, my starting weight: 257.8!

    I think the Ravenclaws are setting themselves a goal to finish by the time Pottermore opens in October. I think it would be nice to have a mini-deadline to keep us on our toes. What do you all think?

    Monday mornings work for me! I didn't weigh in this morning, but I can get my 'starting' weight to you tonight when I get home! Thanks again for keeping this going Bronwen. I'm looking forward to more challenges and creating some HP exercises!

    My start weight is 183...really going backwards but trying to get back on track now. :)

    How about for a mini goal we do September 1st since thats when the Hogwarts Express leaves for the start of the new term? :)

    My mini goal (by Sept 1) is going to be 175..hoping for more but ive been so bad I dont want to make my goal too crazy..lol

    My goal by Pottermore (Oct 1) is going to be 168. Really hoping I can stay focused and make this.. :)

    I like Uno's idea. c:

    My starting weight is 132.4 lbs.
    For September 1st, my goal is to be 128 lbs.
    For October 1st, my goal is to be 124 lbs.

    I also like the idea of 1500 calories burned per week. c:

    Starting weight: 128
    Sept 1: 124
    Oct 1: 120

    Also, I did band camp from 8 AM to 5PM, but most of the time we didn't play and march at the same time. It was either one or the other. The only other marching option on here is "rapidly, military", and that definitely wasn't it. So... any suggestions as to where I should put it?

    Nevermind, I put it as brisk walking for 4 hours. I don't feel like I'm overestimating, either, because we were active for the full 9. Maybe I'm underestimating. :P

    eeeee! Uno, I LOVE it! Our new mini-deadline will be September 1st! Everyone post your goals for that date (Kelsue, inches would be an amazingly acceptable compromise!) and hopefully I can get a chart going so we can keep track by the end of the week :)

    *Please be patient with me, tho guys. Right now I'm home for a friend of the family's funeral (her kids are siblings to me) and its been rough. I should have things back to normal by the end of the week, tho.

    Absolutely! Unless the numbers ever get too large for me to handle, I'm going to leave this group open :)
