Hey, keeping track of your weight loss and stats. Please, when you check in make sure to add your total amount of exercise minutes, and total number of owls (1 owl per post per day, one owl per day you achieve your exercise challenge, 1 owl per day you achieve your food challenge). Tomorrow is the last day to post your stats. I have to send the info in by Tuesday morning.0

Check in:
Wow, sorry I'm so late checking in!!! I've been insanely busy lately... every minute has been scheduled for something!
0.5 lb gain.... Sorry
1103 exercise minutes / 4911 calories burned.
Is the maximum for OWLs 7? I got the 3 points for wall sits 5 days this week... so 15, unless the max is 7
Does one recipe give you 7 NEWTs? If so, I got 7
Not to sure how to track your OWLS and NEWTS this week. For each day you completed your owl, you get 1. For each day you completed your newt you get 1. For each day you post in the thread you get 1. Let me know your totals by Tuesday morning so I can count them and send them in.0 -
Sorry I didn't add exercise min, 210 min since injury only do 1/2 hour a day…hoping to add more soon!0

Slytherins, I need your input in this thread. We're doing a bit of reorganizing to help with busy schedules, and I want to hear your ideas:

Thanks in advance!0 -
Hey everyone, back from Rome so back on track! Hope everyone is having a great week!0

Hey, please make sure to follow that link and input your thoughts and ideas. There is an idea about challenges over there. I'll let that post explain it all.
I have been tracking all of your weight loss for the week of 3-6-12 to 3-15-12 and have everybody who has weighed in on the list. I have also been tracking your OWLS, NEWTS, SPIRIT and HOUSE POINTS. I will be waiting until tomorrow morning to send them in. I do need some of your actual weights. Your before the week weight and your weigh in weight for that time period.

Here is the online google doc to keep our information. Please follow the link, add your username and your information. Some of your information has been added already.

Thanks for setting up the google doc.
We are finally having a sunny day here in the mountains so I am going out in it!0 -
It looks like the challenges this group was suppose to be following was set by the Head Mistress. What she does is posts the challenges for the month in her blog and then leaves a link in the great hall. I myself just ran across the information while reading past forms. She does have the challenges up for this week. I am going to copy and paste the challenges on here. Since the challenges are to start today, I think it would be best to stick with them. Also, please put your input in the form. She left a link here in the common room.
For now, I think for the OWL portion we should stick with the 10 minute walk a day. There is no link to the workout game at this very moment.
Here is her blog:
WEEK 4:
(Starting after check-in between 3/16-3/19
and ending with check-in between 3/23-3/26)
OWL (exercise): Harry Potter Workout Game! (I'm still working on these, stand by later for the link.)
There will be a novice version and an expert version. You can pick what fits you best at the time. They will have the same things to look for, but one will have more difficult exercises to do.
You can split it up and watch a little at a time during the week, watch it all at once and make tally marks (then split those exercises up during the week), or watch it AND do the exercises all at once. Whatever works for you. You could also read the book and look for the same things if that's more convenient for you.
You earn 5 OWLs for the week if you complete the whole movie and all the exercises, 3 OWLs if you complete the whole movie but can't complete all the exercises, 1 OWL if you don't complete the movie or the exercises, and 0 OWLs if you don't start either.
NEWT (food): Calorie Goals! Try to stay between 100 cals under and 100 cals over your daily goal every day this week. If you have a hard time with under eating, experiment with eating up to 100 cals below your MFP goal. If you struggle with over eating, challenge yourself to make it no more than 100 cals over your MFP goal.
5 NEWTs for every day you're withing this range. 35 NEWTs 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 -

If you guys hold out on posting too much on that spreadsheet for a minute, there's some things I have to fill Crying in on (I'm messaging you now) to have it be accurate for this challenge. Also, I'm going to be posting the HP Workout Game THIS EVENING if you can hold out. It got away from me, but it will be done shortly.0 -

A bit of a more difficult trivia:
What broom did Draco Malfoy have in the Philosopher's Stone?
Nimbus 2000, Cleansweep 11 or Comet 260?0 -
Comet 260 I think…
He was mad at Harry getting the Nimbus 2000.
First day of spring and it snowed all night and this morning, it is now a mixture of rain and snow and white out…I want sun!!
I am staying in and going on treadmill...0 -
I have to say I don't miss living up north.0

I actually love the four seasons just more than ready for the last one to be over!! I have lived in areas where it is so hot in the summer and doesn't cool down, even on a warm summer day the nights always get a bit of coolness.
And its fun having a white christmas…I am just a big whiner today! lol0 -
I was thinking the Comet 260 as well.0

Need help tracking your progress each week?
What I do is use the Sticky Note thing on my computer. I write down each day and track everything I do to earn points. 1 sticky note for the week, Then, when you weigh in you will not have to go back and count your SPEW (posts) or tally up all the points you earned for the week. Doing each day at a time will save you a lot of time and help keep your points more accurate.
Harry Potter Trivia-
In their 1st year, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had to play a game of wizards chess with themselves as the pieces. Which piece did hermione play?0 -

Is anyone here in the MyHogwarts beta? If you are, add me, my username name there is missrawk. 0 -
Hey, I will not be having a lot of house points in the next 7 days. I just had my biopsy done today.0

Good morning everyone. Don't forget that tomorrow is day on of the weigh ins. I need your stats anytime between Friday and Monday.
Have any of you tried the Harry Potter work out yet?0 -
Are you the new head of house? What happened to MacSkillz?0

Are you the new head of house? What happened to MacSkillz?
I don't consider myself HOH. I am just making sure everything is taken care of until she comes back.0 -
Are you the new head of house? What happened to MacSkillz?
I don't consider myself HOH. I am just making sure everything is taken care of until she comes back.
I haven't heard from her, but we're trying to keep things moving while we wait for her life to settle down. I'm keeping an eye over things, too 0 -
Hi again, Slytherin!
We're missing results back through February Week 4. I know MacSkillz has the info, but she hasn't gotten back to me in over a week now. FYI, If I don't hear back from her this coming week, I'm going to have to name someone to be acting Head of House and Deputy to keep things moving.
In the mean time while we wait, can you please do me a favor and find all of your own personal posted numbers from the last week of February (weight only, in the very first column) and each week of March (all your numbers) and post them in the spreadsheet? It would be a huge help to me. If you don't do it, your first two weeks of March won't be counted, just so you know what's at stake.
In case you missed it, the spreadsheet is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApRsSrLxwLMEdGw2SldKbUE3Z0RFTXpfZ1pIZXVUQkE#gid=3
The dates for February Week 4 are 2/24-2/26.
March Week 1 is 3/2-3/5.
March Week 2 is 3/9-3/12.
March Week 3 is 3/16-3/19.
March Week 4 will be the weigh in this coming weekend, 3/23-3/26. Don't post those til after Friday.
Thanks guys!0
