lost 3lbs
exercise minutes: 411
calories burned: 2490
shared recipe above, so that's the NEWT
couldn't do the chair exercise cos of knee problems
Errr.... and did I miss anything or is it always this quiet in here? Did I maybe misunderstand or should there be a new challenge already or is the last one still on? I'm confused!!! :huh:0 -

I know you mean. There isn't much going on in this form. I actually contacted the main person and still haven't received a response and its been a little under a week. I personally will be switching houses. I want an active group.0 -
I think they need to change things for this house. Most of the people who are on it have been doing this for a long time and just check in to weigh or not, its pretty loose for them. I know life gets busy but most of us joined to have fun and play games against the other houses and have conversation daily.
I have time to join in daily but haven't because I felt I would be the only one talking to myself!
We need a real leader in this group who posts real challenges and gets us going!
I hope I don't rub people wrong by saying that but thats how I feel. If the leader is having a hard time, busy or sick, then give it up to someone else to do.
I also felt bad because I joined at the same time I was going through physical therapy and couldn't do a lot of exercises thats why I didn't say anything sooner.0 -
Things are finally calming down for me, so I'd be glad to help out however I can if our fearless leaders are having a hard time. I mean, this semester is almost over so I've got plenty of free time on my hands.0
-
I don't know what's up with Mac but I would appreciate someone taking over the challenges and things. My boss just went on maternity leave nad my time is ultra limited now0
-
Well I hope someone can take over, cos it could be a really fun place to be here
And fwiw: I'm down 2 more lbs from 171 to 169 :bigsmile:0 -
Hey guys! I very much want to get the action in this House going, but it depends on your own schedules, too. Please don't switch Houses right now just for this reason. I'm not your mom, obviously, but leaving would not really help Slytherin House get back into a groove.
What else would help? If you have challenges, you can all discuss how you're doing with them or ideas you have. Would it interest you to have some kind of weekly Harry Potter trivia or extra challenge? Honestly, I want to help.
Also, would you be willing to go to a google docs spreadsheet to enter your numbers every week? That would make a huge difference. Then in a pinch, someone could go in and calculate it real fast.0 -

Not sure what google docs spreedsheet is. If you give me a link I will use it to track my progress (and anybody elses). I'm going to give this group another go, and see if the action picks up. Just need to know where I can find the challenges for the week (so I can keep track of OWLS).0 -
I think the leader is supposed to pick a challenge each week. From my limited time here newts seem to be doing things like posting here, telling a story, giving a recipe, things like that and owls are extra exercise to do each day, different ones each week.
Yes it would help bronwenhilary to have some Harry Potter trivia or any challenge….I think that is why we all joined because we like Harry Potter. I haven't seen it once mentioned here since I began.0 -
Hopefully this form will get up and going again. I will be posting daily for the spirit portion. I would love to see who is still active in this group. I encourage you all to got on board with the daily postings in this form. Lets bring Slytherine back to life and give the rest of the houses a run for their money. We may be Evil, but good does not always have to win. Lets take them down!
Personal weigh in for myself will be on Friday. I was in the other common room and switched back today. My stats for this house will be posted in 7 days.
Is it just me, or does anybody else thing Professor Snape is a hottie?0 -

I understand your frustration. Tameko was borrowing the Gryffindor challenges at one point, and they're all Harry Potter themed, so that's what makes it fun for us. We talk about Harry Potter things, too.
I use NEWTs as food challenges, OWLs as exercise challenges, and SPEW as spirit points for talking in the forums. Maybe the spirit points can be also for posting Harry Potter related stories or pictures or trivia? I think that could make it fun.
Also, I have to update it for next week's challenges, but I'm starting a Harry Potter Workout Game. We did a trial over in Gryffindor and it was a big hit! Basically, it's like a drinking game, but with exercises. You do a certain exercise when a certain thing happens in a Harry Potter Movie.
Mostly, the active part is really up to you guys. Ravenclaw is almost on their third thread because they're a bunch of chatter boxes, not because their HoH's do anything extra besides post challenges. Try to keep that in mind if you find the energy lacking in here. 0 -
Harry Potter Trivia Question: Name a Death Eater.0

Bellatrix.
Happy St Pat's day to all...0 -
Bellatrix
she's so twisted she's fab in a weird way 0 -
Bellatrix she's so twisted she's fab in a weird way
I know! Although I did yell YES when Ron's mom took her out.0 -
Oh and I'll never forgive her for killing Sirius either.Bellatrix she's so twisted she's fab in a weird way
I know! Although I did yell YES when Ron's mom took her out.
Still... so demented, it must be fab to her her just for a few minutes while taking care of the odd annoying person hahahaha0 -
I saw Sirius's death coming when his face was already blacked out on the family tree.0
-
What is everyone's favorite Harry Potter book or Movie. My personal favorite is The Half Blood Prince.0
-
Really? How'd you see it from there? His face was blacked out cos he betrayed the family by going against them. Wasn't Andromeda blacked out too because she married a muggleborn? And she's stayed alive through the books.I saw Sirius's death coming when his face was already blacked out on the family tree.
My favourite? I'm not sure - HBP was great because it really showed the depth that was in Snape's character, but I think my favourite was DH. So much action and the writing was really good (or maybe it's just me but it seems to have evolved throughout the books) - tho I'm not sure I can forgive the death of Tonks and Lupin, those two actually shocked me the way none of the others have. Weird!0 -
I do not know why I thought that then. I just had a feeling Sirius was going to die when I saw that. The death that surprised me the most was when Fred Weasley died
Harry Potter Trivia:
What shape does the boggart take when Neville looks at it?0 -
Snape in his Gran's clothes!
Here's another trivia question: What did Harry get for his 10th birthday from the Dursleys..?0 -

Nothing that I can remember.0 -

How do I remember? I just read that chapter to my kids for bedtime a couple nights ago lol0 -
Slytherin Members,
We do not have challenges, so until the person in charge begins the challenges again I would be more then happy to make them.
Week 3-16-12 to 3-23-12 Challenges
Owls- Your exercise challenge for the week is a 10 minute walk each day (starting off simple).
Newts- Your food challenge for the week is to stay between 1200 calories and your calorie goal. Nothing under 1200 calories a day (not healthy).
If anyone has an issue with me setting the goals please let me know. Don't forget for each day you complete the goal you earn 1 OWL for each. You also earn 1 OWL for posting daily. 3 OWLS a day. A reminder: each minute of exercise=1 house point.
These challenges are easy. This is the first time I have set them. Good luck. Don't forget to check in between Friday and Monday with your weight, total owls for the week and total house points for the week.0 -
Thanks for helping out! I don't mind…
Not sure about last weeks newt & owls…?
Weight: Last week 138.6
This week 138.8
I know what I did to gain instead of losing. My letting myself have 2 m & m's a day became more than that and we went out last night to party, I only had one glass of wine but the food even though i didn't stuff myself was over in calories too many carbs.
The good for this week was physical therapist finally let me do more and I worked on elliptical machine almost every day starting with ten min and adding a few min every day. Yesterday i was up to 18. I have had sciatica problems.0 -
Do the 1200 calories have to be net or are they the actual eaten calories? I rarely eat less than 1200 but net they might show up as that as I've 500 extra for breastfeeding plus exercise it's hard to get to them net sometimes.0

Actual calories eaten for the day. No less then 1200. I have seen some people on my friends list only eating 800 calories a day.0 -
