Evening peeps, unfortunately I did not do any jumping jacks today but I'll get on it tomorrow. I did however drink a lot of water (12 glasses) so there should be some points there )

danizaga

Yeah, excited to join. My last weigh in I was 169. I will start my jumping jacks before bed tonight and I always reach my water goal and then some. I will post on Saturday how many days I reached my goal and how many sets of jumping jacks I accomplished.

Yay for Hufflepuff!!

First Blog Post is up!

It contains OFFICIAL School Rules as well as Rules for our House. I know things have been confusing the past couple of days, but now that all the details have been ironed out, things should run a lot more smoothly.

20 in a set, for purposes of tracking points. How'd you do on water intake today?

danizaga

water intake at 10 cups. i did 5 sets with 20 to 30 seconds of rest in between sets.

faythe

Drank approximately 100oz. of water and did 40 jumping jacks on Thursday. I don't usually do jumping jacks, it was a nice change of pace!

oh yeah and i did them in front of a full length mirror. i hope one day not to jiggle or need to rest so much on my way to 100 jumping jacks.

Good morning everyone. Yesterday I drank well beyond the 8 recommended glasses of water. Right now I'm heading out to pick up my daughter at the airport, she's in for a visit for the weekend for a mommy/daughter time. I'll talk to you all later. Hope you have an awesome day.

Hello, Hufflepuffs!

Hope the picture I posted works.. Just wanted to show you the spreadsheet I'll be using to keep track of everything. I took this screen shot last night, before some of you posted your weight, so that'd be why all of the information isn't there.

Anyway, the spreadsheet will automatically total our weight loss % as a whole.
All Houses are calculating group weight loss %.
The House with the highest % of weight-loss at the end of each week (probably decided on Sunday. I'll work that part out) will win the Quidditch Cup!



By the way, uh... we weigh 3118.3 lbs as a group.. and there's still one person I haven't gotten a weight from yet. :laugh:

Ugh!! I need to up my start weight!! Boo!! It was 176.6#... Thank you dear!!

Great work on the challenges!

Jenn_W is in the lead so far with 200 Jumping Jacks - worth 10 OWLs!

Happy Friday!

Make sure you weigh yourselves at some point this weekend. Let me know by Monday.

Friday is my weigh-in day normally, and I've lost 2.2 pounds this week!

Hey im Julie happy to join the Hufflepuffs i weight 182 pounds which is pretty bloody awful and i want to get down to 140 so got a long way to go but thought by joining you guys making it a team as well as sole effort might help keep me going

bumflapassassin

well done hufflepuffin

by the way i had a thought: since mfp is not just for weightloss and it's good practice to provide equal opportunities, perhaps points could be based on goals rather than weighloss? i.e. if my personal goal is to maintain my weight, points are gained for each week i'm the same. and if i'm trying to put weight on, points are gained for doing so. that way anyone can play and i won't be kicked out of school once i meet my ideal weight!

Hmm.. that's a good point. How about we add a sort of ongoing personal goals challenge? Changing the basis on which the House Cup is competed for might rock the boat too much with the other Houses, I think. I do understand your point, though.

Let's come up with a way to incorporate personal goals into our own in-House scoring system.

And by the way, you will NOT be expelled from school for having reached your ideal weight! :laugh:

Welcome!

I've added you to our spreadsheet. At the moment, we're giving out OWLs for Jumping Jacks (1 OWL for each set of 20) and NEWTs for meeting or exceeding water consumption. (More about OWLs and NEWTs in the blog: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/hufflepuffin/view/welcome-to-hufflepuff-house-141282 )

This challenge runs until Saturday. We'll pick a new one on Sunday, AND you're just in time for our first inter-House competition! I believe that is starting on September 5th. Details haven't been announced yet, so stay tuned for that!
