Harry Potter Weight Loss Challenge - Ravenclaw

I earned 14 house points for last week. Now if the scale moves too, I wil be happy

I got the exercise challenge 5 days but what was the water challenge?

The challenges last week were: "Food challenge: drink 8 glasses of water per day and add 1-2 glasses for every 30 mins of exercise you get.(if you want to drink more that's fine, just make sure the minimum is 8)
Exercise challenge: do some sort of exercise for at least 30 minutes per day (can be anything-walking, running, swimming, biking, horseback riding, moderate house cleaning, weight lifting etc)."

This week's challenges are: "Food Challenge: Try at least three new recipes this week.
Exercise Challenge: Try to get outside and do some kind of exercise for at least 20 minutes at least 5 days this week."

Don't forget to post your house points in your signature!

So I am going to beer fest this weekend can I weigh in early on friday and have that still count in our house points?

Just a quick question, From what day last week should we have started counting the house points from and what day did it finish, I only just saw the bit about the house points. This week, I have not done any new recipes and have been outside exercising every day but Thursday.

OK - Let's see if we can clarify the house points...lol

It looks like the main challenges run Sunday to Saturday, so for week May 1 - May 7, the challenges were:
* some sort of exercise for at least 30 minutes per day: 1 point for each day you met the challenge (possible 7 points)
* drink 8 glasses of water per day and add 1-2 glasses for every 30 minutes of exercise: 1 point for each day (possible 7 points)

May 8 - May 14 (these will be tallied with our Sunday weigh in):
* try at least three new recipes: 1 point for each new recipe (possible 3 points)
* get outside and do some kind of exercise for at least 20 minutes at least 5 days: 1 point for each day of outside exercise (possible 5 points)

And, as a little extra incentive, 1 point will be awarded for each day you drop in and leave a post :happy:

If you report your points earned each week with your weigh in, I can track them in our chart.

wishfuljulia - for week 1, it looks like you earned 8 points and so far this week you've earned 4.

For those of you on vacation or holiday, go ahead and weigh in as close to Sunday as you can. It will all even out the following week.

Here's the house chart with the final results for week 1 - sorry I'm a little late posting it :blushing:

Thank you!!!! Best Head of House EVER!

I couldn't agree more!!!! You are AMAZING azsuzi . . . . simply amazing

Yes - I think that would be fine

woohoo- got a compliment from a woman coworker this morning "Wow Tori you really look good. I noticed the other day when you were wearing the black lacy shirt how much weight you've lost. Keep it up girl"

There is no motivation like a compliment for me!!!

That's fantastic!! Keep up the good work - seems like it paying off for you! Woo-hoo!

I'm weighing in early and sharing a bit of *awesome* since I have a party in a few hours.

First the weigh in.... 201

I'm almost back in ONEderland!!!!!

And I did my first official 5K this morning and jogged it in 36:07 which is 2 and a half minutes better than my previous best time!

GO RAVENCLAW!!!!!!!!!!

Here's how to count your house points for week 1 and week 2. I'm keeping track of who posts each day and will award those points tomorrow!

Challenges run Sunday to Saturday.

Week 1 May 1 - May 7, the challenges were:
* some sort of exercise for at least 30 minutes per day: 1 point for each day you met the challenge (possible 7 points)
* drink 8 glasses of water per day and add 1-2 glasses for every 30 minutes of exercise: 1 point for each day (possible 7 points)

Week 2 May 8 - May 14 (these will be tallied with our Sunday weigh in):

And, as a little extra incentive, 1 point will be awarded for each day you drop in and leave a post :happy:

Way to go wishfuljulia!! By this time next week, you'll have arrived in ONEderland! And great job on the 5K! What an accomplishment!

hello again fellow ravenclaws!! hope everyone has been having a great week! i'm excited to see how we're all doing tomorrow. i'm sure we'll put the other houses to shame ; )

had a really great lunch today and wanted to share the recipe. simple and easy and delicious!!

Tuna Melt Bites:
Athen's Fillo Mini Cups (usually in the freezer section w/ pie crusts - 15/pack)
Can of tuna
3 wedges of laughing cow light swiss cheese (these things are brilliant!)
Mix the tuna and cheese together and add whatever spices you'd like (added some garlic and pepper). Toast in the oven for a few minutes and ta-da! It's seriously about 26 calories per little cup.

My friend and I just used this simple recipe but realized the idea had HUGE potential.

So the next time you can't make it to the Great Hall just ask Dobby to whip some up for you

"Oooh, look, a Blibbering Humdinger!"
