This week was a pretty rough one for me on the fitness front. I'm slowly starting to snap out of it and get back into things. It's bad timing being Thanksgiving this week, but it's also good in a way. Thanks for being so patient with me, guys. You have no idea how much I appreciate it.
Despite being a crappy first part of the week, I'm still down .6 lbs!

Sorry for the late check-in... crazy work day today. No change in weight, no OWLs or NEWTs, and no exercise last week
The fates were conspiring against me. I am running a turkey trot this Thursday, so there's that... 0 -
Just dropping by the say "hi" to my fellow Griffs. I have been MIA pretty much the past month, it was a really hard month for me and I gained weight. And now I feel gross. So, time to get back on it, a new year coming up and all that. I'm not waiting until then, I'm going to start building momentum now. So, I'll be checking in with you all next week. Keep up the hard work everyone!0

******************************************
DECEMBER WEEK 1 OWLs & NEWTs:
******************************************
(Starting after check-in between 11/25-11/28
and ending with check-in between 12/2-12/5)
****NOTE:**** We're going to do a bit of experimenting with how we earn OWLs and NEWTs to even the playing field for those of us without lots of time to work out.
**For OWLs: Set yourself a daily goal of how many of the exercise you're going to aim to do. You earn 5 OWLs for meeting/exceeding your goal, 3 OWLs if you make it halfway to your goal, and 1 OWL if you try to do some but don't make it at least halfway to your goal.
**For NEWTs: How you earn these will stay the same.
**NEW (still needs a geeky name): You earn points for every time you post in the Common Room to chit chat (CHECK IN POSTS DON'T COUNT), up to 5 points a day (35 points total possible for the week). I hope this will encourage us to be more active in supporting each other and helping each other build motivation.
If you have any suggestions for what to call our new points category, feel free to share!
So, for this week, your new challenges are:
OWL (exercise): Lunges! I think we all know how to do these, but if you want to be safe, google it (one left + one right = 1 lunge). 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): Either double check MFP's settings, or do your own research on protein. Try to reach your protein goal as a minimum as many days as you can this week. 5 NEWTS per day, 35 NEWTS total possible for the week.
(Still needs a geeky name): Earn 1 point every time you post something encouraging or motivating or how your day is going in the Common Room. 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!

The new OWLs & NEWTs system is also updated in the Gryffindor Guide, here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/bronwenhilary/view/the-guide-to-being-a-successful-gryffindor-144313
It might be confusing at first, but we'll see how it goes and adjust from there 0 -
Ok, last quick prefect update. Next week my goal is to be back on track with our schedule!
Our Prefects this week are:
Missb92 (for weight lost) and Kelsue35 (for Owls & Newts)! Great job, as usual, ladies!
You all are doing fantastically, and welcome again to all our new Lions! I'm so excited to have you!0 -

Hello Gryffindors! I started a thread for all of us to all share our favorite HP clips and just wanted to post a link to the thread in case any of you have a clip you'd like to share with the rest of Hogwarts. I hope you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving!!

Cute! I was thinking Chocolate Frogs. Dunno if that really fits, but Ron would be motivated to participate with some Chocolate Frogs! Or maybe "Spells"?0 -
