I had breakfast!!!! It is that simple... WOW. When I started doing this weight loss journer I ate breakfast every morning then about 3 weeks ago I started slacking and soon I was back to my old habit of only drinking coffee in the morning. Yesterday and today I have have had breakfast at 7am and by 10am I am starving!!! I gues the VERY important meal of the day kick starts my metabolism.
I will continue to have breakfast everyday and see what happens by next monday.... Wish me luck.
I'm not a breakfast eater either, but the last 2 weeks I've had oatmeal, and what a difference it is making! I totally agree that breakfast is important!
What are you eating for breakfast? Be sure and get in some protein. Best of luck to you!!0 -

I don't think it's too late to join and Pottermore is not sorting. Pottermore sounds so great.... I've been checking 2 times a day since I heard of it! October sounds sooooo far away!0 -
Any of you fellow Gryffindor's want to be friends?0

The OWLS and NEWTS are our weekly exercise and food challenges. This week's are on page 17 of this thread, but next week's are going up later tonight (I'm typing them up shortly).
You can check in for next week between Friday and Monday, your choice. If you'd like to be in Gryffindor, you're in!

CW: 187.4 Lost 13 pounds total!! So excited about this!!!!
OWLS: 0
NEWTS: 30

This is the busiest time of year for me. I am a photographer on the side and I have a contract with the local football league and I do their action shots every Saturday plus the team and individual photos. I spend all of my time off working on pictures. My goal is to make time to exercise but it just may not happen until the end of October.
Gryffindors - feel free to add me as a friend!!! 0 -
PREFECT TIME!
You guys freaking ROCKED IT this week! Thanks so much for your hard work! I'm going to try to make a point to reply to each of you more often, because you make me so proud
I don't have much news, you guys are posting your stats like champs! Keep it up! And I'm just waiting to hear back from the other Heads of House about some minor details, then the first week's results will be up in the Great Hall (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/326416-the-great-hall-of-hogwarts-school)! Keep checking back, it will be posted sometime before the end of the day today!
Our Prefects this week are Missb92 (weight loss) and MindyBlack (Owls/Newts)! Congrats, guys! You two are amazing! (And so are the rest of you! I love my Gryffs!)
Don't forget to pin on your shiny new Prefect badges:
Post that link in your signature but change the IMG to img.
Here's the chart:
Our House Point average for this week is 489.26 (and we're kicking some major *kitten* for the House Cup, but you'll see for yourselves later)! That's absolutely incredible! Pat yourselves on the back, because you are my heroes 0 -
OWLS & NEWTS for the week of 9/16 - 9/25 (Week 3 of the September Challenge):
First of all, if you ever have any questions about rules, you can always check the links in my signature or send me a message. Most of you veteran Gryffindors do wonderfully, but our new faces might need some help
Also, The OWLs are always going to be an exercise that will be 1 OWL per rep of that exercise unless noted otherwise. There will also never be a cap on how many OWLs you can earn unless noted otherwise. So, rack 'em up if you like! The NEWTs will be specified each week.
OWL (exercise): Swimmer's Presses (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYwzaUXK6gs). If you don't have weights, use extra water bottles or cans of veggies or soup. Anything you can grip easily and has a weight you're comfortable with. 1 OWL for every press completed.
NEWT (food): Plan your meals ahead of time, either the night before or in the morning before you start your day. Especially if you find yourself snacking throughout the day and then wondering where all your dinner calories went by the evening (like me sometimes, lol)! Logging your meals before you eat them takes the guesswork out of it, so you know what you'll be eating throughout the day already, and you'll also know what kind of buffer you have if things come up (like dinners out or extra food at work, etc). When you think about what you'll eat ahead of time, you avoid having to make quick choices when you're already hungry and prone to binging, too. For me, it helps me make those better food choices, too, by having a plan of attack when I head to the kitchen instead of just looking for something that sounds good.
I encourage you to give this a try if you don't already and see how it affects you. You will earn 5 points for every day you log your food ahead of time for the day (5 points per day x 7 days = 35 total NEWTs possible).
NOTE: Log your food, but try not to push the green button until the end of the day. This is more my personal preference, but I plan out the things I know I need to/will be eating ahead of time, then add to it as my calories allow (whether I have extra or earn more with exercise) if I need to. THEN hit that complete button. If you like to do it to discourage eating more than you should, then go ahead, but you don't have to push it when you first log
Good luck, Gryffindors!
**************
If you're still working on the Plie Kicks from last week, don't worry! I just have this posted early so you can plan ahead as you like. You can still check in for the week of 9/9 - 9/19 (Week 2 of the challenge) until Monday by the end of the day!0 -

CORRECTION! We had a mistake in reporting House Points for Jersey3025, she reported calories instead of minutes. That should be 775, and our average is 357.39 (which is still winning so far!).
I'm sorry about that guys!0 -
Oh dear, I'm full of mistakes this week!
ElisaHelena completed 46 OWLs/NEWTs and earned 218 House points this week!
Our new House Points average is 366.87!0 -
