    Only 6 points ofr me last week. not drinking anything over 50cals was harder than I thought. I got two over 400 cals burns last week too :) No weight loss :( but that's ok. I'm going to keep going.

    What is the next challenge. I am so ready.

    Awesome attitude to have!

    For whatever reason, I totally rocked last week! I lost 4lbs, managed 12 newts (5 days of burning 400+ calories and 7 days of drinks under 50). Plus I had 410 HPs for all of my minutes exercising! Woohoo!

    I'm pumped for this week's challenges!
  • Heya! I'm Dan, and just joined the group, I thought that since I'm a Slytherin on Pottermore I may as well be a Slytherin on MFP!

    How is everyone doing? Trying to get back into the swing of gyming again after my extended break due to holidays / illness - HAAAAARD!

    We need to go on a recruitment drive as well. We need fresh blood!
  • Doing good with low carb for the most part since that's how I tend to eat anyway. :)
    Not so good on tricep dips though. Yuck! I know I need to do them, but I'm not a fan.

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    edited for spelling
  • I was Slytherin for a while back then got caught up in some major family issues and drama and went MIA... I'm back on MFP and doing the Whole30 this month. I'd really like to get back involved with the Hogwarts Challenge if you guys will have me! :)

    Hey, I've been away, I really am not in the right head space at the moment to keep HoH duties on, if anyone wants to step up, let me or kellyisfat, who is Hogwarts headmistress know.

    I'd like to keep posting and chipping away with Slytherin, I'm just so busy with work, my wedding and my health issues to commit to looking after Slytherin full time and it's not fair on everyone, we need someone who can do the house justice and hopefully get us the activity we crave.
  • I'm excited- I lost another 2 lbs! I'm officially 4lbs away from meeting my first goal (it's taken almost 2 whole years!)
    Soon, I will be under 200lbs for the first time since I was in high school!

    Sorry I haven't been here and updating daily how my fruits and veggies were going :( Sometimes work keeps me away from my desk more often than not.

    Miss all my Slytherins!!!

    Thanks dadzpeach but I really have no desire to be in charge. I know crap abpuit computers and spredsheets. I can't even find out how to get to the August spread sheet and we are 3 weeks into august.

    Poorcopie- how do we get to the August spreadsheet.

    Since no one posted a challenge for this week and ravelclaw seems to have no idea it is their turn. I am going to bow out of this challenge and concentrate on somthign more active. Is slytherin gets jumping again please let me know and I would be happy to coem back. Good luck with your weight loss goals everyone.
