  • Hi all,

    Finally caught up with all of the messages! It's a shame Nicole has gone, especially with no notice. Hopefully she'll be back soon though and this is just temporary! I'm happy to support anyone who wishes to takes over her role as Head of House. lhurtubise seems to want to do it, and is supported by everyone else so it seems to me as if we have our new Head!

    Apologies for my absence this week. If you hadn't seen my earlier posts, I had suspected meningitis earlier in the week but thankfully this turned out to be just a viral infection. I had been told to rest all week, and the infection had really taken everything out of me, which is why I haven't been around much as most of my time I spent sleeping! I'm on the mend now, slowly but surely but haven't been able to do much exercise this week so sorry for dragging us down with regards to the competition.

    I'll be posting my stats from this week on Saturday evening, including weight loss.

    I hope you're all doing well! xox

    So it looks like I am the new head of house. * At least until Nicole returns. I am still hopeful she was doing an amazing job and after reading all the information I can't believe how much she had to do, but still I am up to the challenge! I am going to start getting numbers together for the lead of this challenge. Since there is only one more week left for the Prefect job I will do that and pick the highest OWLs and NEWTs winners to start the duties for October. Everyone is doing awesome. I hope to keep this challenge going!

    Lhurtubise- let me know if you need any help, especially trolling the previous posts for everyone’s numbers.

    Here are my numbers for 9/19 to 9/21
    House points 230
    Newts 10 (1 day I was over so proud of me)
    Owls 15

    Ok it took me several hours but I did get almost all the previous numbers together! I also made a spreadsheet so you can see the results of all your hard work. I will be posting this each week probably on Wednesday's since the weights and check ins have to be done by Monday! Also it will be a great help if you could put your actual weight when you check in. I know some people like to say they lost 1lb or something like that, but since I wasn't the leader at the beginning I don't have all the numbers so it's easier to get the actual weight. I hope you like it!

    Edited to add: If you are not on the chart I simply could not find enough recent check ins to determine if you are still a part of the challenge. Please just message me your information and I would be more than happy to add you!

    Can I be the biggest pain ever and ask for my starting weight to be changed from 174 to 175? My actual start weight was 175, but I must have made an error and said 174. Sorry to be a pain!

    Thank you so much for doing this. I know I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate the effort you've put into getting everyone's figures this evening.

    Not a problem. It will be fixed for the next chart. Every pound counts so I know I would want credit for all the weight I had lost!

    9/22 Stats

    OWLs - 0
    NEWTs - 5
    House Points - 118

    Current Weight - 170.6 ( I have seen this number many times... Now if I could just get down to the 160s and stay below 170 I would be a little more at peace with myself!!)

    This week so far and it's weigh day too

    newts - 0
    owls - 34
    house points - 325

    Oh, and I lost 0.2 pounds, which was probably just that I farted before I got on the scales or something but still, a loss is a loss! 131.8 now

    The exercise challenge for this week is to exercise! Lol Exercise at least 30 minutes everyday. Everyday that you exercise for at least 30 minutes you will receive 5 OWLs. This challenge basically counts twice because the exercise minutes also count towards our house cup points! So I want everyone to really push themselves this week and try to exercise 30 minutes per day ANY way you can! During the calculation of the OWLs and NEWTS for the previous weeks I have noticed that we are shockingly low on OWLs so I am hoping a less specific challenge will help this. Jenn_W what will our food challenge be this week? This is the last week for September Prefects and the last week to stack those OWLs and NEWTs for the October selection so let's make it a great week!
  • Stats for the last 2 days:

    Lunges: 0
    Sodium: 3 Pts( I Didn't get all my water, but my sodium)
    Exercise Minutes: 105
  • The weekly chalanges start on Sunday right???

    If we are working out more, we need to drink more water. 5 NEWTs for drinking at least the recommended 8-glasses of water a day... Plain and simple... It seems that is really is a challenge for so many (not knocking- just observing...)

    ***My 9/23 stats are terrible... I went over in sodium (but drank all my water if that counts for the 2)... No lunges... House points 95 (Didn't ride my bike to work, due to the kid being outta school - mess... but we did go swimming and I always have to walk everywhere!)***

    Hope you are all having great weekend!!
  • Sorry to see that Nicole has gone...but thank you, IHURTUBISE for stepping up and keeping this going. It looks like our big group has turned into a much smaller group but, that's okay by me. We all do the best we can and some days I really need that extra boost from other huffles.

    Anyhow, caught some "cooties" this week so not the best week for me. Here are my stats since my last check in:

    Weight 146-Which is the same-boo!!
    Lunges-3 points ( if I am correct in remembering that 10 lunges=1 point)
    House Points: 180
    Sodium: Was under my goal every day but one.
    Water: Didn't exceed goal on any of my days-anything more than 6 glasses makes me a slave to peeing!

    Hope you ladies have a wonderful weekend!

    Stats for Thursday and Friday:

    Owls: 7
    Newts: 5 (I went over on sodium yesterday so I didn't count the water points since I think they only counted if you met both?)
    HP: 133
    Weight 142.4 (gained but I'm not too worried. TOM started Thursday and I always retain a ton of water the first 2 or 3 days)

    NSV: I have a ring that was given to me for my birthday by a friend several years ago that was too small. I couldn't really exchange it since we were in Russia at the time and I've never been able to wear it. But this week, I wore it to work and it fits perfectly!

    Are we back to daily (or bi or tri-daily) stats now? I know I am not on the list for updated numbers but I've had a hard time remembering the challenges throughout the week and my progress with them so if we are back to often updates, that'll really help me! and I'm going to start putting them on my daily to-do lists as a reminder. Do we have a blog for reference too?

    And I'm sorry to be a bother, but can someone remind me how we were tracking the nutrition challenge this week? I know 10 lunges = 1 point, and I unfortunately have one for the week, but I haven't tallied my nutrition points yet. And I'm down to 116.8 (down .6 from last week)! I believe I was at 122 when I first joined as a Hufflepuff?

    Oh, and I FINALLY got my pottermore email last night... and was sorted into Gryffindor :(

    Hello! I will definitely get you added to the chart. We are back to daily check ins if that is helpful for you. Some people check in everyday and some check in every coupe days or so. Last week challenge for nutrition was below sodium and 8 glasses of water. If you did that you get 5 NEWTs per day and for the exercise challenge you got 1 OWL for each set of 10 lunge.

    This is my first time to actually respond to challenges, so I'll need to be added to the list if I'm not!

    This week's stats:
    Weight (as of this morning)- 180.6

    NEWTS- 5 (oops... sodium is harder than I thought)
    OWLS- 2
    House points- 144

    This week's challenge definitely seems like something I could manage :)
  • I had a bad day today. I normally don't go over my sodium but I did today. I only exercised for 20 min today. Yesterday I had 31 exercise points and I was under sodium but over my water. That is something I really strive to do. I typically only drink water. Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend. I had a pretty good day. I didn't get much sleep last night my hubby snored and my son ket calling out between me and my hubby I am the only one that hears him at night.
  • Hi guys! I hope you've had and are having a good weekend. Here are my stats for the week. I've seen that the way forward is going back to posting daily, that's fine! I can't always guarantee everyday, so it may be every few days :)

    My weekly results are -

    OWLs - 2
    NEWTs - 21
    House Points - 365
    Weight loss - 2lbs

    My original start weight was 175 and I'm now sitting at 168, so a weight loss of 7lbs there :)

    Hello Hufflepuff's! I just got caught up on the numbers for this week. Remember if you haven't check in especially with your weight and house points I can't count you for our weigh in and the Inter-House Challenge! Tomorrow is the last day to check in so please don't forget :-). I am happy to report that we have regained a few members. It was hard for me to judge who was still participating based on the last couple of weeks of posts, but I am so happy to welcome back anyone who wants jump back in!
