YAY!! That is an awesome one!! (I am always bigger than the guys I date... maybe I should start dating guys that weight more than 150#s... Hummm... :-P )



** I totally forgot we were counting minutes for the interhouse cup... Ugh! I will tally those up for my Weekly report... I got to play soccer with the kid yesterday - One of our favorite past times! And Walking, walking, walking, EVERYWHERE... That is what happens when you no longer own a car!!

Nicole - You do rock!! And a weekly post will be simple and clean... these boards become a mess after a few weeks, just because. You are doing amazing. Thank you! And keep up the AMAZING WORK!!

Hi fellow Hufflepuffs! Hope everyone had a good day. It's so tough going back to work after a long weekend, especially when it's dreary and rainy outside. The rain meant my tennis class was cancelled. Too bad, I was looking forward to including those minutes in my weekly totals :grumble: But I went to the gym and got on a treadmill so I pretty much salvaged the time. Now I'm getting a late supper of salmon, sweet potato and corn. Yum!!:bigsmile:

Have a great night everyone, you're all doing great!

Hello Hufflepuffs! I hope you are doing well with exercise and don't forget the green veggies!

I started level 3 of 30 day shred tonight boy did it kick my butt. I wanted to be able to add it to my minutes excersised though. I am also battling aunt flow right now she sure can go visit someone else for all I care ugh. Glad tomorrow is hump day the weekend went by way too quick even with a 3 day one.

Congratulations, that's such a great feeling when people notice

Hi everyone, I hope you're all well.

I'm feeling really healthy today, I've drank a lot of water and little exercise and I feel great. I'm going out for pizza with my girl friends tonight so I'm not sure I'll be feeling so healthy after

Good morning everyone. I've been absent the last two days haveing internet trouble. Here are my totals for the last few days:

Push ups: 200
Water: 9
Exercise Minutes: 120

bumflapassassin

Evening all, today is the first time since Saturday I've finished the day under my calorie goal. Just thought I'd mention that since it's been bugging me that most days the number is red and I feel hungry and annoyed at myself.

The push-ups are a good but difficult challenge and I'm enjoying eating more veg than I normally would. I hope everyone else is enjoying it too

Hey Hufflepuffs!

Those of you who have posted stats for this week so far, I have them written down. Exclude them from the totals in your next update.

Just a reminder, the inter-House competition for the Cup is in full swing. Make sure your exercise minutes for the week are submitted with your weigh-in this weekend.

You can read this for the rules: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/bronwenhilary/view/hogwarts-inter-house-challenge-143613

Hope everyone is having a happy thursday!!! It is my payday and a present to myself is going to be some new weights :happy: I am excited. I have 8 more days of 30 day shred left and it has been a great 30 days. I am going to redo it when I finish. I hope everyone is getting their green veggies and push ups in!!! :happy: :happy:

Hello Hufflepuffs! I just wanted to stop in and see how everyone is doing. I feel like there isn't much activity since we aren't reporting on a daily basis. I hope everyone is still doing well. I really don't want this challenge to die out like so many others have :mad: I am having a surgery Tuesday so I think the liquid diet for 2 weeks will definitely cause me to have some big losses. Don't forget your green veggies!

momie0205

I too feel like it has died down as well. I don't want it to end either. I hope everyone has a fantastic Friday! I am so glad the weekend is finally going to be here again.

hufflepuffin

My computer is giving me the business tonight!!!. :grumble:

hufflepuffin

Looking forward to weigh-ins this weekend? I'm definitely NOT. I hope all the birthday fun over the weekend doesn't come back to bite me! :grumble:

hufflepuffin

Do we want daily updates back? If we all update with a summary of our points at the end, it would be a nice compromise.

Example:

"checking in for the day. I did 10 sets of push-ups (3 sets of wall push-ups and 7 normal sets), ate all my veggies today and exercised 65 minutes total!

OWLs: 10
NEWTs: 3
House Points: 66


How's that? We get the instant gratification of reporting our numbers that day , a busier Common Room (which I think we all want!) and it keeps the numbers nice and neat for me so I can gather them quickly on my busier days, and double-check when I need to.

I want to find something that works for everybody, so please let me know what you think!

Thanks Jenn! Not everyone's digging the weekly-post idea.. and it killed the Common Room's flow more than I thought it would. :frown:

msrobinson77

Knowing I had to report daily was a nice motivator but, the logistics of keeping track of everyone's #s had a be a nightmare. It's definitely been quiet-did we lose some Huffles along the way??? Nicole, whatever you want us to do is okay by me.

For now, I plan to report my totals tomorrow on my weigh in day. GNO tonight-hope I show some restraint! Happy Friday everyone!

becky_turcotte

Hello my Badger friends! I hope your week has been great! Here are my totals for the last two days:

Work out Minutes: 150
Water: 8 cups
Push ups: 0 (yeah I know I'm slackin')

Good luck everyone. Enjoy your friday!!!

Pottermore is actually helping me, I'm taking an hour's walk every 80 minutes with the dogs while I wait for potions to brew. Why yes, I am secretly a child at heart.

Walking moderate pace, with dog - 2 hours

momie0205

So I had to check this pottermore out but I guess it is all full. I don't mind how we post our totals either. I just don't want the board to vanish. It slowed down a lot this week.

I wanted to add woo hoo for having to start a new thread now.

NannyMagnolia

Bump ... I can't really post right now but if this is the new thread I wanted to keep track ... talk to you all soon :flowerforyou:

This! haha

hufflepuffin

Okay, so.. now that we've got the Common Room all sorted out. Haha. I'm really not sure what happened there.. :laugh:

Anyway, what do we think about posting as we were, just being neater about it? More activity, easier to gather stats... win/win?
Post as often as you like, just give me a summary of your stats at the end of your post.

OWLs:
NEWTs:
House Points:

Remember, OWLs are for exercise challenges (currently awarding 1 OWL per set of 10 push-ups of any style!)

NEWTs are for food challenges (currently 1 NEWT per serving of Green Veggies up to 3, 5 NEWTs for exceeding daily goal of 3 servings of Green Veggies)

House Points are exercise minutes totalled for the House Cup. (strength-training OR cardio)

The point of the Hogwarts Challenge is to keep us all motivated, and if checking in on a daily or semi-daily basis motivates you, then we'll do it that way. Thanks everyone for being so understanding while we iron all this out. :flowerforyou:

Jenn_W

Bump... Ran outta pages... Now I gotta keep track over here....

Hiya Y'all!!!

You don't get my stats post yet because I have them all written done at home... So look forward to another one from me! :laugh:

Molly_Louise

I'm happy to post either daily or weekly, whichever is easiest for everyone else!

This weekend is likely to be a bad weekend for me, weight loss wise. My best friends are leaving for University in a few days and are having a big leaving party on Sunday. Bye bye weight loss, hello calories!

heathally

Hi everyone, hope you've had a great week. So glad the weekend is here myself, need a break from classes even though this was just a four day week! I'll be posting my stats tomorrow most likely. Need to look back over the week and count everything up. Have a terrific day!
