    OWLs = 1 SET OF 10 PUSH-UPS (Any style)
    NEWTs = 2 PER EACH CLEAN MEAL/SNACK YOU EAT
    HOUSE POINTS = 1 PER 1 MINUTE OF EXERCISE

    Molly posted this... It may help.

    Our exercise challenges are reported in OWLs with food challenges being reported back in NEWTs. We take part in month long 'inter house' competitions against the other houses (Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Slytherin) and this month's is exercise minutes. 1 house point for every minute of exercise you do. Some people prefer to post weekly totals at the end of the week (including exercise minutes, despite it being a month long challenge) but some prefer to do it on a daily basis. It's up to you how you report back :smile:

    I'm in England with most of the other Huffles being in North America, at least 5 hours behind me and so I always get a little confused about how long challenges last for :laugh: :blushing:

    For me, 'my challenges' run Sunday to Saturday, because the following day the new challenge starts, but as I said, I get confused about when the challenges actually start but that's because of my time difference. I'm pretty sure they're Sunday-Saturday though, because the follow day is the start of a new challenge which is posted earlier that weekend.

    We compete against the other houses for exercise minutes (as mentioned), as well as weight loss and this is calculated in percentage. Your weekly weight has to be posted sometime between Friday and Sunday (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) and if you've lost weight, that loss, along with any other losses are calculated into a percentage and then we see who wins!

    I hope this hasn't made things 10 times more complicated :laugh: Welcome!

    **Queeda - I posted after you. Ugh! :0)

    (I had veggie soup but did use canned tomatoes and chicken broth)
    LOL...I made a potato/kale soup yesterday. I was glad I read the challenge before I made it, because I would have added chicken broth and canned tomatoes to mine as well. A little bit less taste that my soups have, but it came out pretty good

    Jenn...Thanks for the websites for additional information. Your timing couldn't have been better for me. I try to strive for the least additives...but it can be tough anymore!

    And to all, I have truly enjoyed reading everyone's history, a very diverse group indeed.

    Most of us have been together since the Hufflepuff House re-opened. We are pretty close, some like me are over sharer's, we are here to help each other get healthy. We are all at different stages. Welcome! Keep track of everything! :0)

    Just wanted to say, I am sore after those 10 wimpy girl push-ups I did yesterday--Holy cow, how long has it been since I have done any upper body work? Waaaay too long evidently.

    Well you can't change yesterday but you made a good choice this morning. I bet your dogs were thrilled to get to go for a walk.

    IT's turning out to be another failure of a week. Why do I feel so naff? I would like to take my skin off and whack it on a wall.

    Week's (lame *kitten*) stats so far:
    No newts or owls yet unless peanuts count as a clean food. In which case I get one newt.
    75 house points.
