    OK - I THINK THE FAIREST WAY TO ADD UP POINTS IS TO ADD UP ALL THE MEMBERS WEIGHTS, THEN FIGURE OUT THE TOTAL PERCENTAGE LOST FOR THE GROUP. That is the only way to make it fair since the groups are bound to be uneven at some point. I put it in caps to make sure everyone sees it. :)

    Replying so I don't lose the topic :)

    Hello my fellow Slytherins! (I was actually at one of the Hogwarts' filming sites this EXACT time last week, and took great pride in informing my boyfriend that that particular college has a scarf that is kinda similar to that of Slytherin house!!)

    Hello fellow Slytherins! Let's band together to use our cunning and ambitious ways to kick butt at this challenge:-).
    Such a fun challenge - I just love HP and can't wait for DH2.

    Hola, fellow Slytherins!

    There was a Harry Potter fansite called Phoenix Prophecy.net, and I was a Slytherin on there as well, so I'm kinda happy to have been sorted back in to my second favorite house (my first is Ravenclaw, but that's because that is where I think I belong).

    My favorite Slytherin is Draco Malfoy. He just cracks me up. He talks a big game, but most of the time never follows through, and you always have to wonder what he's thinking. :]

    Having a good week so far - down .2 lbs from Sunday. I just realized, though, that I gave today's weight as my starting weight instead of Sunday's.
    My favorite Slytherin is Severus Snape, of course! What a beautifully written and complex character.

    I seem to be on a 2 pound Yo-Yo recently...I'm back and forth from 192-190 *sigh* I've done my exercise already this morning, but I plan on going back out for another mile if it stops raining tonight. I'm really wanting to break this yo-yo string and drop into the 180's. Fingers crossed this will be that week!

    I would have to agree that snape is my favorite. i love how complex jk made his character, and how she really hid the truth about snape until the very end.... And malfoy.. well i kinda feel bad for him.. anyone else think that he could be a really good person under different circumstances?? lol

    Maybe you have gotten too used to what you are doing? try shaking things up a little..change your calories each day a little (ex: 1200 MWF, 1500 Tu, Sat, 1700 Th, Sun) and try doing some different exercise routines or try doing some interval stuff (if you are a walker, try walking as fast as you can for a minute, then slowing down (repeat several times) or jog for a minute).. if your body gets used to it it automatically slows your metabolism down to preserve fuel so you need to surprise it so it doesnt know what to expect and cant get used to it.. :) Maybe that will help you get out of your yoyo :)

    Hey all, my name is Laura. I'm glad to be a Slytherin! My favorite Slytherin is of course Severus Snape. He is actually my favorite character in the whole series and I guessed his secret at the beginning of the series (of course I didn't start reading until Goblet of Fire was out.) I also like Draco. I feel bad for him in a lot of ways. I would love it if she wrote about Voldemort's time at school and the rest of his life.

    HI y'all. I'm excited to be part of this challenge. Snape is also my favorite Slytherin. His character interested me from the beginning.

    Hi! If I couldn't be a Gryffindor, I am glad I am a Slytherin. Snape is easily my favorite but I love that Draco is such a troubled character by the end of it all. I am a huge Harry Potter fan! It is great to be here!

    Hello fellow Slytherins! Looking forward to getting as slim as snakes with everyone. :)

    Okay okay I know that's terribly corny...

    Edit: Oh, and.. as for my favorite character from Slytherin? Well honestly it's my least favorite house (can't help it!), but I will take a leap and say my favorite is Voldemort. I mean, look at everything he accomplished. Now THAT'S willpower! :)

    I can't help but be a Slytherin fan now. =P

    I agree. I've started to add a bit of jogging in with my walking the past few days. I normally do 5.5 laps a day, and have started jogging the .5 lap. Once I get used to that I'll jog a full one, then 1.5, then 2 etc.. If this doesn't work I'll try your suggestion with changing up my calories. Thanks for the tips!

    Hi gang, how exciting I'd this! I might vote for bellatrix as my favourite based on the films rather than the books. Dreading my weigh in this week after the major holiday weekend here in the uk

    I am so excited to be in Slytherin!! I actually considered requesting this house but I thought I would just let the cards fall...it was meant to be. I think I am drawn to Slytherin because it appeals to the dark side of my personality, and who doesn't want to be the 'Bad Girl" at least sometimes? Snape is my fave Slytherin character...so complex and, in a way, noble. I am so excited about this challenge...i will do my best to bring points to my house and not let you all down!! Let the games begin!

    Oh I didn't even think about Bellatrix. She is an amazingly evil woman!
