YAY! We rolled our thread! Just in case you all need to see this week's challenges and Prefects, here ya go: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!***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 -

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 -
I GOT SORTED INTO GRYFFINDOR!!!!! Yay! FINALLY got my invitation, I'm so annoyed I didn't get it until now, but I guess they've been having issues on the site because of all the activity. But at least I got into Gryffindor! That is so cool. And I'm happy with my wand, as well. That's as far as I got, attempted a practice potion, but it was taking too long and I had studying to do.0

I just found this on facebook and while I never copy and paste all that crap, this one I couldn't resist. I am really ROFLMBO!!:laugh:
I had to share with my fellow Gryffs.
The Girl you just called a Mudblood? She spends hours practicing spells hoping people will like her. The boy you just stupefied? His parents use the Cruciatus Curse on him regularly. That kid you just pushed? He is trying to use the killing curse on himself. That guy you just made fun of for crying? His mother was killed by a Death Eater. Put this on your status for an hour, if you are against Bullying in the Wizarding World. You never know what it's like until you fly a mile on their broom.0 -
