    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:

    its Monday! weight is the same as when the harry potter movie started... 126... i dont really want to lose more than 1 more lb but need to tighten up grow an *kitten* and lose a few inches here and there... anyone have ideas on how to grow a butt? and instead of a start weight can i do start inches and then goal inches instead of goal weight?

    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 :)

    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 pleasure! Yay for HP exercises! :)

    Sorry I am just getting on here now, the good thing is that its still Monday here on the east coast :P

    My starting weight is 169.5 lbs.
    For Sept. 1st, my goal is to be 160 lbs.
    For Oct. 1st, my goal is to be 156 lbs.

    I hope I'm not making my goals too big; I just have been so far off track and really want to get back on track. When I started mfp, I was at 172. Today I weighed myself and updated my weight and now I have only lost 3lbs overall :sad:

    Since my hubby and I have both been unemployed its been just a lot of cheap fatty food. and depression has been setting in too. some days I just don't feel like going out for that walk when deep down inside I really want to and need to if I am ever going to see the lbs and inches drop. I need something to get up and out of this funk I've been in :indifferent:

    Sorry that was quite the tangent, I hope I can tap into my inner gryffindor and make my goals this challenge! :happy:

    I'm back! Went camping this weekend and basically pigged out. :( But I'm ready for the Gryffindor challenges! Monday weigh-ins are fine with me!

    CW: 166.8
    Goal for Sept. 1: 156
    Goal for Oct. 1: 148 (within three pounds of my highest goal weight range!!)

    I'm so excited for this and seeing my fiance dropping weight like crazy (men... psh) has inspired me to get back to it! Go go Gryffindor!

    Hello Gryffindors!

    I was hoping I could join. I LOVE Harry Potter (what former children's librarian wouldn't, ok...what person couldn't?!)
    My initial goal was to lose 40 lbs by wedding. I made 13. I was kinda bummed about that, but now my hubby is working out with me, and it is amazing how encouraging he can be. (He says I cook too well and he needs to lose the weight he's gained. HA!)
    So, we're back on here, and started p90X last night.

    Height: 5'4"
    Starting weight: 230 lbs
    Current weight: 213 lbs
    Mini-goal 1: 220 lbs reached June 10th*
    Mini-goal 2: 210 lbs
    Mini-goal 3: 200 lbs.
    Goal weight: 180-190 lbs

    Hi Gryffindors! It's Wednesday! How are y'all doing?

    Didn't get in exercise yesterday, unfortunately. No one to blame but myself. However, I've got play rehearsal tonight and we're learning the choreography so I'm sure I'll be sweating up a storm while having a blast. :)

    PS: I'm so excited about this, I even made a Gyffindor-themed weight loss ticker! :D

    I'm doing very well! Got in 45 minutes of cardio AND strength training for my legs yesterday!
    Don't worry too much about missing a day of excercise. Sounds like you'll make up for it tonight! What play are you in? I used to do theatre as well, and coreography days are always GREAT excercise!
