    I got another 5 miles in tonight :D. I've ran 64 miles so far this month. How is everyone else doing?


    Nice Job James!! That's awesome! I made a goal for myself where I want to walk/run/bike the distance between my house and my grandmother's house before I get married next year. It's a total of 1,300 miles and my wedding is on 10/27/12. So I need to walk/run/bike at least 85 miles each month to get there (I started at the end of August). I've slacked a little this month due to my sickness, but I still got in some decent miles. On my last check, I'm up to 58.9 miles this month! I'm hoping to maybe at least get up to 70 miles within the next few days before November comes!


    Exciting thing: Got DirecTV today so that I can watch football on Sundays :)

    That is exciting Erin! It's always good to watch football. I can be one of those loud obnoxius people when watching... I wonder how many caloires I burn while yelling at the TV???? Maybe I should plan on wearing my heart rate monitor while watching the game to see....
    That will be a new exercise I can add to MFP: Watching Football, Aggressively. HAHA


    i lost a mound finally out of the 334 plateu

    YAY!! That's awesome!! :drinker: It may be slow, but at least you're loosing right?!?

    Troll in the dungeon!!!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN, Slytherins!

    1 OWL, 0 NEWTS.
    1lb lost this week
    429 minutes exercised and 1996 calories burnt

    Busy week with not much exercise time... but at least I lost a lb :D
    I couldn't do the 10 cups of water on any of the days because it would cause the need for too many bathroom breaks for my busy days to handle!!

    I'm excited to see what next week will bring... started it off with a great exercise session today!

    So for this week, I'm going to work on kind of re-working our House. We've had a lot of people leave and I need to reorganize the spread sheet that I use and I also wants to start using my blog on here to get the weekly challenges set up.

    So for this week, come up with one exercise challenge and one food/water challenge for yourself. When you report your weigh-in next Monday, post what your challenges were and how you broke down the OWLs/NEWTs.

    Hey everyone, sorry I went MIA but I have had major upheaval at work (I start a new job on Monday) and I've been performing in a play all week, couple with a broken laptop means I have been out of action. HOWEVER, I am going to be back in the game as from the weekend and hope to contribute to Slytherin glory, if you'll still have me!

    What play are you in?

    It's a series of one act plays by Alan Ayckbourn, some are funny, others a bit more sombre! I am a member of a local drama society (Richard Attenborough was once a member!), it's all volunteers and we have a three hundred seat theatre. I'm on the marketing committee as well so it keeps me busy. The play I am in is only a studio play so to about 45 people.

    Also, huge congrats to us winning the Quidditch Cup, woo hoo!

    WOOHOO! And Welcome Rae!

    Don't think I will be around tomorrow, so checking in today.

    Loss of 1.6 pounds this week!

    Did some dancing, but didn't record it so not really sure how many exercise minutes hehe. I need someone behind me with a crop to remind me to log things....

    I think you just want somebody with a crop, period. LOL Great job on the weight loss. Keep up the good work!

    Hey everyone. Hope you all had a great week.

    1.4 pounds lost this week. 7 Newts and 7 Owls if we are still doing our own goals this week.
    1329 exercise minutes for 13,977 calories burned.

    The only bad thing about getting closer to your goal: It takes twice as much work to lose those stubborn pounds in my mid-section. lol

    Have a great one!!

    Welcome, Rae :)

    My week:

    No loss, no gain.
    For my personal goals I got: 4 Newts (stay under calories) and 3 Owls (work out at the gym).
    2007 minutes of exercise, 790 calories burned.

    Looking forward to the challenges this week! This weekend I'm traveling to Dallas to visit my family for my birthday, and I'm bringing my boyfriend with (he only gets time to come to Dallas with me once a year)!
    There will definitely be cake. And pumpkin pie. And probably less exercise :/

    As promised, I said that I will be reworking the way I post the challenges. I will now be using my blog through MFP to update the challenges each week. I will post the link to the blog so you don't have to go digging through the thread to find it. So for the second week of November, you can find your challenges here:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/MacSkillz/view/november-slytherin-house-challenges-167219

    I will also have new Prefect and Quiddicth Captain by the end of the week so keep an eye out for those!





    Also: I just realized they got rid of allowing us to have pictures in our signatures. That's a wicked bummer. : (

    So much for allowing us to keep track of our progress in pictures in one easy link. You think with the goals of this site, something that made it easier for new people to click on and find motivation wouldn't get taken away without notice. I guess everyone now has to post their own blog with their pics. Whatever bandwidth/storage space was freed up is nothing to the amount of space it will take up for even a thousand mfpers starting their own page.

    I haven't really been on much lately in the last week so sorry for not posting my stats on Monday. How is everyone else doing? I got a 10 mile run in tonight, it felt great. I hope everyone is doing well!
