    So question- how many crunches is the suggested amount for this week?

    I think I'm right in saying it's as many as you want!

    25 crunches make 1 set, and 1 set is worth 1 OWL. Obviously the more you do the more points you'll get and the more exercise you'll do! :)

    so I didn't realize weigh-ins were due till just now, so I just weighed myself at 121.6 pounds (up 1.6 pounds :/) but usually I do them on wednesday morning before breakfast and I just ate lunch. so. not sure exactly how much of that is actually gained, though I have been going over calorie limits lately, so it's possible. blah.

    oh and for crunches--are we only counting standard, or are we ok to mix in bicycle, the ones where you like put your feet up in the air and try to touch them, backwards ones, etc?

    I have personally been doing a mix of any kind I can find online... Some on floor and some on the exercise ball.

    *If this is wrong I will need to adjust my numbers!*

    Aww. Well, staying the same is much better than a gain, sweetie. :smile: Chin up, k? :flowerforyou:

    Go ahead and mix 'em up! :bigsmile: I know, for me, mixing them up is going to help me to do more of them. (My OWLs don't count of course, I can't be Prefect AND Head of House! but I do the challenges anyway!)

    No suggested amount, but I can tell you some of our students have been cranking out 100 or more a day!

    We won't go by that. Your two meals deep into the day and who knows how much water. Get a morning weight in when you can. No worries. :smile:

    *** I've just heard from Gryffindor Head of House that students that have not reported a weekly weight for two consecutive weeks will not have their numbers count toward the inter-House Quidditch Matches, which again are weekly weight loss percentages for each House. ***

    Some of you who are very active in this House might have been worried about non-participants bringing down our averages, and that won't happen. Students who don't weigh in today (if you already have, you're good!), or tomorrow (absolute deadline) cannot be counted as part of our weight-loss percentage for the week.

    Weight-loss percentages will be calculated based on number of participants, rather than number of people on my spreadsheet.

    Since we haven't been a team for a full week yet, the first Quidditch Match will wrap up next Monday, September 5th. I will report the numbers to Head of Gryffindor House, and she will announce the winner in the Great Hall.

    September 5th is also the start date of our first inter-House competition for the House Cup. I'll get you details on that as soon as I can.

    Any questions, you know what to do. :wink:
