I was sorted into Gryffindor on Pottermore so figure this is where I belong, looking forward to the discussions!0

I think this will make things a lot more convenient. Hope everyone finds it okay, and that everyone's week is going well!0

Resting up to go hunt horcruxes tomorrow. It has been quiet around here hasn't it. Should we use this thread for check in? I check in on mondays.0

I don't want to answer for Bron, but I think it would be easiest to move over to this thread rather than having to juggle 2 of them. Ultimately, though, it will be up to her. But its been really quiet on the other Gryffindor thread too. I was just checking in on you to make sure you're all still here! :flowerforyou: Good luck with the horcruxes!0

Greetings!
So, I just found this group, and am hoping to join. (No one's said it's closed, at least). Hoping to join Gryffindor (obviously), is there anything I should know?
Thanks so much!

Ok, hang tight, Gryffs! I'm working on getting things updated but for now, here are this week's challenges (If you're just joining, feel free to get started!):
OWLs & NEWTs: November Week 3
****************************************
(Starting after check-in between 11/11-11/14
and ending with check-in between 11/18-11/21)
OWL (exercise): X-Crunches: http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/health/fitness/fitness-plan-two-weeks-oct06#slide-6
You earn 1 OWL per crunch. No limit.
NEWT (food): Plan your meals ahead of time. Log all the food you plan to eat for the day either the night before or in the morning before you start your day. This can help you stay on track and avoid eating impulsively or binging. You earn 5 NEWTs for each day that you log your food ahead of time. Total of 35 NEWTs possible for the week.
***Remember to double check the dates for this challenge! Don't start early and lessen your progress for the current week!

of course its understandable!!!0 -
Hi Gryffindor! I'm new and would like to be in this house, if you'll have me. Is there anything special I need to know?0
-
Hi, Gryffindors! I'm working on getting back into the groove of things. I'm your MFP Hogwarts Headmistress and Head of Gryffindor, for those of you that are new.
Expect friend requests from me in the next few days so you can stay updated a little easier. You don't have to accept, it won't hurt my feelings, I'm just giving you fair warning
Here is how it works here in Gryffindor: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/bronwenhilary/view/the-guide-to-being-a-successful-gryffindor-144313
And here is the thread for questions and a link to the official rules for the Inter-House Challenges: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/398364-inter-house-challenges-rules-info-s
This is a new thread JUST for questions about the whole challenge, but any Gryffindor only questions are totally fine to post here or send me a PM about.
I hope you're enjoying our newly remodeled Castle and Common Room 0 -

Hi, Gryffs! Here's another quick Prefect announcement. I'm going to do my best to be back on schedule (or ahead) next week. Thank you so much for being patient with me during this rough patch in my life. It means so much to know you guys have my back
Prefects this week are:
Tbelivea (for weight loss) and Jls1661 (for Owls & Newts)!
Great job, ladies! I'm so proud!
**I'm also in the process of revamping how we earn OWLs and NEWTs to even the playing field for those of us that don't have lots of time to work out. I don't want to belittle the work you all do, I just want to possibly add some more options of things we can keep track of to motivate us. If you have suggestions, feel free to share!0 -

Man, sorry for the HUGE delay this week, but here's the OWLs & NEWTs for November Week 4:
(Starting after check-in between 11/18-11/21
and ending with check-in between 11/25-11/28)
OWL (exercise): Push ups! If you need a modified version (don't feel bad, that's me!), here's a link: http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/health/fitness/fitness-plan-two-weeks-oct06#slide-2
You earn 1 OWL for every push up you complete. No limit, so rack 'em up, Gryffs, as usual!
NEWT (food): Since Thanksgiving in the US this week, let's do something with that! I'm not one to avoid indulging at special occasions, but sometimes it's best. And when indulging can't be avoided, working it off with exercise is a good option.
The challenge this week is to either pick one aspect of Thanksgiving dinner that you normally overindulge in and challenge yourself to pick an alternative for it OR overindulge, but purposefully exercise before or after your dinner to make up for your biggest indulgence.
So, if your holiday weakness is dessert, delicious sides or too much turkey: go easy on it, pick a healthy alternative, or figure out what the calories for that one aspect would be and do some exercise to make it up.
If you don't already plan to work off your whole dinner, just stick to the one thing about Thanksgiving that gives you the most trouble and try to build a new habit out of it. But still enjoy yourself! I never think it's necessary to go without, but moderation and pre-planning are a big help in our lifestyle changes!
If you do any part of this challenge, you earn 5 NEWTs for the week. If you're not in the US, you can take this approach with any of your meals this week, or purposely work out/make a healthier version of a favorite indulgence to add to your diet this week.
