Belated congrats to both of you, also!
Thanks Bron! :happy:
Congratulations to fellow prefect Veganbaum too!0 -
I've changed my ticker to include the prefect image, and will keep it like that for a week.
Hope that's how it works, if not let me know. 0 -

Hi al! I just signed up on myfitnesspal.com and was very excited to come across Hogwarts Castle. I just started reading the Harry Potter books and am currently on book #5, which can sometimes be a bad thing because all I want to do is snuggle up with my kindle and get lost in all the action at Hogwarts!
I would like to be apart of Gryffindor and have read a little bit on the information about OWLS, NEWTS, AND SPEWS....I was wondering if there is anything else I really need to know to get started or if there is an intial post that I should be making...I look fowards to loosing and keeping of all these extra pounds with everyone!0 -
My first check-in:
*Mind you I just started using myfitnesspal yesterday, so as today only being my second day I will have prob NO weight loss...
CW-220
OWLS-10 (2 workouts?)
NEWTS-1 (does that equiate to 5pts?)
Once I get the hang of this i'm sure it'll be much easier to understand and 'check-in' 0 -

That has happened to me a couple times too. I think it's just a goofy glich or something cause when I try to edit and fix it, it just makes it worse.0 -

Good morning my fellow Gryffindors! I'm up nice and early (if it weren't for going to Disneyland I certainly would still be asleep right now LOL) and I'm looking forward to a great day, I hope all of you are too! :flowerforyou: Time to walk off some fat! 0

Have a great time, I get the impression Disneyland is huge, so you're bound to get loads of exercise there! :bigsmile:I'm up nice and early (if it weren't for going to Disneyland I certainly would still be asleep right now LOL)0 -

As for the weight... I was starting to feel frustrated, im right in the middle of the 30DS and so far im up a pound since I started! I need to start relying less on the scale now! I've been really good with my food though the last week so im happy
Keep up the good work people!! :drinker:0 -

It was fun, and I certainly got in a lot of walking! I put down 3 hours of walking total, but I bet it was way more than that :P we were there from 12pm until 9pm didn't sit down too often 0 -
Happy Saturday Everyone! :bigsmile:
Has everyone done the Harry Potter game this week? What was the movie (or book) you chose (or will choose) and why?
I decided to make it random and assigned all of the movies a number; looks like I will be watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire :happy:0 -
Was going to start re-reading the Harry Potter books today, and do the game, after completing all my tasks today.Has everyone done the Harry Potter game this week? What was the movie (or book) you chose (or will choose) and why?
Now I have, I'm feeling utterly wretched, all shivery with a sinus headache. Feels like I'm going down with something nasty, which is really annoying.
It's rather a shock, I've got used to feeling healthy all the time! :bigsmile:0 -

Had a great week, massive amount of exercise (averaged over 100 minutes a day) made mostly good food choices - and now have a rotten cold that stopped me dead in my tracks yesterday, so I didn't get to enjoy that Harry Potter game.
On the plus side, it's totally paid off, I've lost NEARLY A WHOLE POUND in just one week! :bigsmile:

I had to go buy my clinical scrubs today and I had to buy SMALL Drawstring scrub pants!! The only problem is they are short! Boo. But the mediums were swallowing me up! I was soo exctied!!

Fabulous, my track suit bottoms are miles too big too, I went to get the smaller size but they're making them longer now so I didn't bother, I confess that I rather like having them too big, it's a good reminder of how far I've come! :bigsmile:

Reminder of this week's challenges, to save people from going looking for them.
Don't forget to also report on your House Points (HP) which you earn per minute of exercise.
Go on, you know you want to!
FEBRUARY WEEK 1:
(Starting after check-in between 1/27-1/30
and ending with check-in between 2/3-2/6)
OWL (exercise): Arm Circles! http://www.fitlink.com/exercise?type=bodyweight&exercise=arm+circles
I know at least one of us is confined to mostly upper body workouts for the moment, so let's level the playing field for a week, eh? I would set a goal in seconds or minutes if you don't want to count them. Or you could set a number if you trust you'll pay attention to count. Whatever you prefer! I would maybe do this while you watch TV or are waiting in line or something like that. Look like a doofus...for Gryffindor!
Each day you reach your daily goal you earn 5 OWLs, you earn 3 OWLs for reaching half way to your goal, and 1 OWL for trying but not reaching half way.
NEWT (food): Soda Challenge! Replace at least one soda/sugary drink/coffee/some other liquid weakness per day with an extra cup of water.
5 NEWTS per each day you do it, 35 NEWTS total possible for the week.
SPEW: Earn 1 point every time you post something encouraging or motivating or how your day is going in the Common Room (ANYTHING BUT A CHECK-IN POST COUNTS TOWARD YOUR SPEWs).
Up to 5 points possible per day, 35 points 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!0 -

SPEW: 1 I think
HP: 85 (my belt promo test on Friday and regular TKD class Saturday)
Arm circles... maybe I'll earn some OWLs this week after all! NEWTs doesn't really apply for me; after my morning tea I drink water all day now. And I'll try to be better about posting.
GO GO GRYFFINDOR!0
