    Halina20 (115) and gmaanneliese - you are both in Gryffindor. but gmaanneliese - I need your start weight!!***

    In the series, when the students get to school they are sorted into different houses based on their characteristics (they put on the "sorting hat" and it tells them where they belong).

    Each Sunday I will post challenges for this week. They are just suggestions to help you reach your weight loss goals. :)

    You must weigh in every Sunday on your House's page (or whereever your Head of House dictates). :) Each day on this page I will post some HP trivia or a quote. Start reading the books! I guarantee you will fall in love! :)

    I know the cut-off was at midnight, but just in case there's a little fudge room (oops, I said a bad word...wiggle room maybe?) this is swell idea and I'd love to be a part of it! Huge HP fan here, have been since the books came out! :) Wish I saw this sooner :O
    Starting weight as of today 256, ultimate goal weight is 150 but by July? Down 10 pounds :D

    I'm kind of wondering the same thing as ashiesmash. I hadn't heard about this until today. <_< Would it be possible for me to join as well? I'm a huge fan of HP. :D
    As of May 1, I was 134.6 lbs. My goal for July 14th is to lose ten pounds. C:

    YES oh my, I've obsessed over those books, been able to quote things and I've had a game with my sisters that we open up the books on different places and read one line and then another one is supposed to tell in what situation that line was written or who said that line.

    I'd love to be somewhere in this challenge, any house for me! : D
    Am I in time? I really really hope so.

    I come from sweden.

    I think it needs to be said, midnight tonight... What time zone? Just everyone's own, or Uno's? Just hoping to clear up some confusion and less frantic posts. :D
    Either way, excellent job Uno! You are doing a fantastic job and look how much this has grown within such a short time!! Its fantastic.... or should I say, wicked. :wink:

    Midnight Eastern Time is the cutoff. :) The sorting hat is taking a nap right now, so he will sort everyone in the morning. Anyone who posts before midnight will be sorted and anyone who posts that they want in after midnight will not be sorted. Sorry guys! Had to put some boundaries.. :)

    Thank you UnoDiamante, I'd LOVE to join this challenge - fingers crossed that I'm not too late, I'm in England so hopefully you meant Sunday night your time, in which case you're behind me so I'm okay. I'd seen the threads but hadn't realised what it was all about.

    My goal does not sound much compared to everyone else, so whichever house I'm sorted into won't get much benefit from me, but even eating only 1200 calories a day my calorie deficit is only on average about 350 a day so it's pretty ambitious.

    Having that goal will help me to stick to that though - won't want to let everyone else down. Look forward to being sorted! :)

    My Start weight on Sunday 1st May was 9 stone 10 5/8 (136.6lb)
    My goal weight is 128lb.

    Hi everyone..Thank you for the interest but unfortunately we cut the group off as of midnight last night. I am very sorry! The group is at over 160 right now so its just getting a little too big. Sorry everyone!!! Good luck in your weight loss journey!

    GROUP IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED. ALL THOSE WHO HAVE NOT GIVEN START WEIGHTS WILL BE DELETED FROM THE GROUP AND NO MORE MEMBERS ARE ALLOWED TO JOIN.

    I am very sorry but it is just getting too big and to be fair for the competition we do not want to let anymore members join. Good luck everyone! :)
