Harry Potter Weight Loss Challenge - Hufflepuff

My weight today is 245.8!! I'm down over 2 pounds this week!

I didn't get around to trying new recipes this week, and I was bad with my water... But I DID get some exercise in everyday, so I'm happy with that!

well done everyone, you are all doing so well! we have 20 weighins already so far, out of 39, which is great! :flowerforyou:

our total loss this week so far is 33.2 pounds, which is roughly the weight of a cinder block.

as for me, after a really bad week my weight has shot up about 5 pounds :sad: im 3lbs above my SW for this challenge. with alot of hard work and plenty of water in the next few days, im hoping that number will start to fall again. i know that while i over-ate, i didnt eat the 17,500 calories it requires to gain 5 pounds, so hopefully it will go down by next week.

ive also come to the conclusion that i eat to many crappy processed foods. i went shopping today and bought plenty of fresh fruit and other decent food. im quite excited to start cooking proper meals

Hi everyone, we are having a great weight loss this week. proud of all of you for all the hard work.

I have to say I was spying on some of the other houses and I am glad we were sorted together. We have the best house

Ok I have already started on the challenge for the week and made fruity pebbles for breakfast, that is a ton of colors right :laugh:

Agreed! All the hufflepuff peeps are so lovely

I'm totally stealing your recipes by the way - they sound delish!

ugh, rant time again. all i seem to do here is whinge and whine to you guys - im sorry :laugh:

well i live in student housing. my flat consists of 6 people, 5 girls and 1 boy. there are 3 other boys but they never show face so they dont count as they never use our kitchen. excluding myself and 1 other girl (my good friend C), everyone here are such slobs. the kitchen is always a mess, with dirty plates and cutlery, food all over the floor and in the sink and pasta EVERYWHERE. we get warning emails all the time. me and C spend hours scrubbing the place, but by the following afternoon its always disgusting again. we are sick of people, 2 of them in particular, stealing our food, using our dishes, keeping said dishes in their room till they are moldy then dumping them in the kitchen for us to clean. just tonight we found 2 of our own bowls in the sink covered in dried food and HAIR. we know exactly who it was that took them, theyve been in her room all easter break.

so tomorrow we are getting an end of term inspection for damage and general upkeep. me and C just spent 3 hours scrubbing the kitchen spotless and getting rid of so much dirt and rubbish. we debated whether or not to clean the 1 boy;s dishes as, GET THIS, - earlier C and her mom overheard him telling his friend to leave their stinky dinner plates in the sink because "C would do them". how SEXIST! i used to think this guy was decent, but lately his rather.. unfavourable characteristics are coming to light. :mad:

thank goodness we only have 4 more weeks here! C and i have our own 2 bed apartment lined up for september. its going to be so clean i cant wait!

WOW!! I hate people like that. I had a horrible roommate situation myself just last year and it turns me off of the whole idea entirely. I'm going to be moving away to school around July, and I hope I don't run into something like this!

I don't have any advice for what to do :-/ you can't force people to do things, unfortunately. I guess just count the days till you can move out!

That is WONDERFUL news... :drinker: It will be so much better for the both of you. You already know you work good together and you will not have to put up with these *not so nice people* I just hope next year the tables are turned on them.

...Good luck with the weeks you have left...

Urgh, JD that is so rubbish! I bet you're counting the days until you can get out of there! xx

Sorry that I'm so rubbish at this way in thing and have been late 2 weeks in a row with it.

5/15 - 166 (-3 lbs)
GW - 150

Lost another 3 pounds!

Hey, what's our final percentage? Reckon Hufflepuff can make it 2 weeks in a row?!?!?! So exciting!

our final weightloss percentage (minus the 7 people who havent weighed in) is 0.745%.

gryffindor is at 0.66%
ravenclaw is at 0.70%
slytherin is at 0.44%

SO, it looks like Hufflepuff are the winners for the second week in a row. well done guys, you all are brilliant and so hardworking! true Hufflepuffs :happy:

corsayre - for some motivation, i suggest checking out the Success Stories board. its got a lot of before and after pictures and inspiring stories. i always go there myself when i need that extra boost. i also suggest posting your own success story with pictures. the members on this site are so encouraging and will always post to tell you how fabulous you are! never fails to put a smile on your face

katrob - we made it two weeks in a row!! the other teams, and while i think its great for them, have things like electing prefects and awarding house points etc. we 'Puffs are just here on this thread supporting eachother through words and smilie emoticons :laugh: we are all already winners.

diverchic - :laugh: im glad someone else (other than me) got a laugh out of that!

our pounds lost is now 46.8 after a few more weighins (thank you my lovelys for checking in ). thats the weight of your average 6 year old child. thats an entire person! :noway:

Nicely done house!

JD: How many people are left in our house now that we have had some drop out due to not weighing in? Also how many people are in the other houses? Just wondering if the qty of people per house is still close.
