    Weighed in today and sadly no change so I'm still 174. I've been unwell the past few days so haven't been able to complete any jumping jacks which sucks. Feeling really low today so positive thinking for tomorrow!

    Hey, that's alright! If you're sick, you need to rest.
    If you want to, you can weigh-in again Sunday or Monday and give me that number. Maybe it'll go down a little bit! :D

    No worries, though. We still love you. :flowerforyou:

    Any chance I can jump in?
    I'm so totally a Hufflepuff at heart.
    (even if everyone swears I'm a Slytherin.)

    :: ATTENTION HUFFLES ::

    There have been edits to the blog regarding the inter-House competition.

    For those of you who have read it previously, I'm posting the changes here so you don't have to sort through the entire thing. :)


    - Head Girl/Head Boy will be selected, with no basis on gender as the women in this group greatly outnumber the men, from entire School based on number of House Points accumulated. (one House Point for each minute of exercise)

    - All Four Houses will compete in monthly inter-House competitions. One House Point is given per minute of exercise. Each House's TOTAL House Points are averaged out for a final score. Highest score wins the House Cup.


    Just a little different. We're basing House Points on exercise rather than weight-loss... leaving weight-loss to decide Quidditch Matches alone.

    Which.. works brilliantly for those of us just working to maintain! Right, bumflapassassin? :happy:

    Got it marked down!

    All of our Rules (for the School and our House) are laid out in the blog.

    We currently have an in-House challenge going on (until Saturday)
    1 OWL for each set of 20 Jumping Jacks and 1 NEWT for every day water goal is reached.

    Take a look at the blog, and if you have any questions post them in here and we'll clarify. We're helpful Huffles!

    Minutes exercised will be used for the inter-House competition which doesn't begin until September 5th. You may report your exercise minutes as often as you want. You can even keep a running total for yourself as long as you remember to post them here at the end of the competition (Oct 3rd, I believe). Do whatever feels right for you. :smile:

    I'm always checking the Common Room for updates and questions, so I shouldn't miss anything.

    So I'm finally a Hufflepuff. My current weight is 150lbs and I suppose my overall goal weight would be 125-130. Haven't even thought that far ahead-just taking it one day at a time:-)

    I posted on the great hall post, but since if I did join the challenge, I'd be a hufflepuff (woo!), so I'll ask here too :)

    Basically, I am going to school and working nights right now so I'm not sure I'd be able to keep up with all the challenges, so I may not be able to participate as much as I'd like. I was wondering if it would be ok if I could still try to give this a go?

    Hey hey ... good evening. It's been a good day. Managed to stay good with the eating even though the three course lunch at the spa was a treat, drank all my water and then some, swam some laps, and did 40 JUMPING JACKS today ... wow, haven't done those in years ... I need a better bra :) Take care all.

    Oh ... and have we decided what day our way in is???

    Sounds like a great day! I feel your pain about the bra... Ugh!

    I have your points entered on to the spreadsheet!

    As far as the weigh-in goes, you can weigh-in and report it any time between Friday and Monday - that's the same for every week. The Houses all weigh-in at different times, but it's always within those days.

    And it looks like we're doing a jumping jack challenge?
    Ok, so this is going to sound crazy, but back when I was in driving school, they told us to do these things called cross crawls, where you lift your left knee and meet it with your right hand and do the same with the other hand and knee, so you're kind of crossing over your body while hopping, if that makes sense. Apparently this is supposed to help integrate the right and left hemispheres of the brain, so you can have a better connection between both sides and be better coordinated. so we literally did these for 2 min before we got in cars and dodged cones and did driving obstacle courses. But apparently doing jumping jacks actually does the opposite with your brain hemispheres? I just tried to googled it and came across blogs and other sites, but noting along the lines of a scientific study, so it could be a bunch of hoopla. But you never know!

    So I may do some cross crawls after my jumping jacks, is it cool if I count those too?

    EDIT: The challenge goes on till tomorrow, duh! Nevermind :)

    Sorry I'm possibly running a little late in updating but I haven't felt well the last couple days. Feeling a little better now, though :)

    I did manage to do 40jumping jacks and get all my water in, though!
