WOW! Ok, you hit your goal (you're at 91.25 inches this week). Are you officially switching to calories burned next week? Give me your goal when you come up with it and we'll start with that!

Good morning Gryffindors!!
Check in time.
SW: 168
CW: 166
OWLS: 1800 wood chops
Newts 15 (I made a pot of Tuscan Bean Soup and shared the recipe for 10 points. I also used a vegetable in season in a recipe, Bronwenhilary's 70 calorie Pumpkin chip cookies for 5 points.)
HP:905
As a bonus I was able to share both items I made with an elderly couple that lives across the street. They had been in a car accident and just returned from the ER as I was taking the first batch of cookies out of the oven. I thought it might be nice to give them a dinner of the leftover soup so they wouldn't have to cook and a little treat as well.
They were doing well. He was uninjured and she suffered some nasty bruising on her leg.
The cookies are delicious! I changed the recipe a bit by using whole wheat flour for half the flour called for. You could not tell at all.
This story is fantastic! You're so generous!0 -
Checking in...
Weight - no change (I think I've lost some inches or fractions of inches, judging by the skirt I'm wearing today, though)
OWLs and NEWTs - none
House Points - 168
Keep plugging along...
Those inches matter more than the scale ever will! Great job!!!0 -

i am thinking that my calorie burned goal is going to be 7000 to 7500. i work out tons so that doesnt seem to unreasonable or even unattainable.
btw you said you were a lame-o.. you are so not!!!0 -
Hp:180 (just ran this week to train for my 5k and it paid of with a time of 22:46!)

NEWTS - 0 I keep forgetting to do this; I'm not going to be earning many newts!
House Points - Only 120 this week; I'm keeping active, but not much I'm logging as exercise right now

Is it possible for me to join this?? This group would really help me. Also, I love Harry Potter, especially Gryffindor! My ticker is me and my boyfriends dressed up at the most recent midnight showing. haha
Please let me know!0 -

Please let me know!
Welcome welcome welcome! We Gryffindors love seeing new faces in the Common Room
Read the links in my signature (probably starting with Hogwarts Rules, Want to be a Gryffindor then the October OWLs and NEWTs to be the least confusing).
Let me know if you need help, or have any questions. You can message me anytime or post here. You can get started right away on this week's OWLs and NEWTs, too!0 -

I know what you mean when I read your explanations, but OWLs are the exercise part and NEWTs are the food part.
This week 15 NEWTs was the max. 5 for trying a fall recipe, 5 for sharing it, and 5 for including an in season veggie. 0 -

PREFECT TIME!
Our Prefects are:
ShannonP (for weight lost) and MindyBlack (for Owls/Newts)!
Here's your badges (post this in your signature and change IMG to img)!
And here's the chart!
Great job everyone! We have a lot more people racking up those OWLs and it makes me SO proud!0 -
WEEK 4 OWLs & NEWTs!
(Starting after check-in between 10/21-10/24
and ending with check-in between 10/28-10/31)
OWL (exercise): Superman (http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/health/fitness/fitness-plan-two-weeks-oct06#slide-9). Each rep earns you 1 OWL. Try to do as many as you can, while holding each rep for about 1 second. Don't rush them or they won't do you as much good. Rack 'em up, Gryffs! Let's finish strong, since it's the last week of the month!
NEWT (food): SODIUM! Let's try to keep our sodium levels under 2000 for as many days as you can. I know this will be tough for me! If you don't already track your Sodium, try adding it for this week and see how you do. You earn 5 NEWTs for each day you keep your sodium under 2000 mgs for a total of 35 NEWTs possible for the week.
***Remember to double check the dates for this challenge! Don't start early and lessen your progress for the current week!

Newts: 0

Oh no, I'm so sorry, sweetie! No judging here for the desserts 0 -
Oh dear, it's such a bad idea to get those confused; I doubt a NEWT would be particularly efficient at delivering letters! :bigsmile:I know what you mean when I read your explanations, but OWLs are the exercise part and NEWTs are the food part.
Hopefully I have it the right way round this week...
Weight, I weighed in early (yesterday) but have lost 0.3lb.
OWLs - 0
NEWTs - 25 Had at least eight glasses of water every day, but on two days I also had a lot of wine and didn't have extra water and I know I was a bit dehydrated, so I'm not giving myself points for those days.
HOUSE POINTS - Slightly better, 361 this week.
GOALS
On holiday for a few weeks after today and won't have access to scales and internet access will be patchy, so as I'm now officially no longer overweight, and as exercise has been slipping lately, I'm temporarily changing my goal to an exercise challenge of at least 90 minutes every day until my return. (I might regret this haha!)
Bronwyn, I'll almost certainly be able to get online somewhere to report back in a week's time, so do keep me in!
