Harry Potter Weight Loss Challenge - Hufflepuff

t_rog · May 2011

So far this week i've been pretty lame on the challenges. I did however walk on the treadmill for awhile tonight. I would never do that before because it seems like such a waste when I could burn so much more on the elliptical! But I was able to read my book during, so it was nice.

As for the food...hmm...I would say one of my biggest cravings is golden oreos. They are DELICIOUS. I'm gonna have to buy some and work on eating 1 or 2 at a time :sad:

helllooooo :happy: sorry ive been busy, im in the midst of exams right now. had one this afternoon and it went as well as i could have hoped. only one more exam on monday then I AM DONE with my first year of college! weeeeeeee. im so homesick right now :blushing: my dad called to chat on wednesday, bless him, and said he and mum might come up to see me tomorrow and go out to dinner or something! so got that to look forward to tomorrow - ill try and eat as best as i can there.

food hasnt been great this week, ive been stress eating/binging on occasion.. my sleeping habits are so messed up due to cramming and all nighters. i got to sleep at about 5am this morning till about 10:30am. im so tired now, but im gonna stick it out as best i can so i can sleep tonight

my body thinks afternoon time, like now, is morning time. need to fix that!!

i might get a head start today in packing to keep me busy, awake and for some exercise. ill get some music blasting and rock it out :laugh:

t_rog - oreos are my FAVE biscuits. golden ones?! what are they and where can i get them??

sundance - i have a sugar problem too. real sweet tooth. let us know how yoga goes!

aab - good for you, doing c25k! im interested in doing it myself. how did you find it?

darthwein - im happy that you are happy! have fun camping. those lil babies in your ticker are so cute

monocot - thank you for checking in

8 lbs to go? lucky you! ive not been doing well so far, im still 17 to go, which was my original target. my net loss is 0! bah.

I'm so sorry I didn't record my weight for this week on Sunday. I haven't even been able to get on the computer until now! Between friends having emergencies I had to help them with and my daughter's second birthday party and my other daughter's school, things have been utterly crazy!
So I weighed today--165.4. I'm on my period so I'm hoping I lose again after it's over.

aab - good for you, doing c25k! im interested in doing it myself. how did you find it?

@ JD92 - I was snooping around different MFP threads and found a few on C25K. I then used the below website for the weekly training program.
http://www.c25k.com/c25k_treadmill.html

This program was perfect for a non-runner like myself. Completing this was very rewarding for me. I'm now starting "One Hour Runner" progam. Same training program format as C25K; 10 weeks to get to a 1 hour run.

I recommend it to everyone! Good luck, JD92!!

Checking in early as I am headed for vacation. I maintained this week at 292.

JD92 · May 2011

im not expecting anything good tomorrow. with exam stress and sleeping habits the way they are, ive been eating too much and sitting on my *kitten* to much with studying. i go home on monday - YAY - and im gonna get back on track. ive still got 17 pounds till my goal for July 14th, and if i work hard in June i might be able to do it!

and, oh gosh, im watching the end of Remember Me. its the saddest movie ending ever and i cry every time i watch it

198 same as last week well at least it's not a gain

apparently our scales aren't right as they show different amounts to the hospital ones so will be getting new ones soon, no idea if will make a difference to my weight or not, hopefully will mean I weigh less

lipe44 · May 2011

146!!! 2 pounds down

newmeat30 · May 2011

Check in for today... 133.8 lbs!!!! (I had been at 133.0 yesterday morning, but after the day of feasting on pizza, cookie cake, and ice cream for my son's 3rd birthday my weigh-in wasn't as good today. Considering that I went to sleep last night at 135.2 and woke up this morning at 133.8...I'd call that a GREAT SUCCESS!!

Phew...lost the water gain from last weekend's sun burn.

My family & I have begun watching the HP movies; getting ready for July's release. Sorcerer's Stone was yesterday; Chamber of Secrets today. They're so young in the first movie; how adorable!

@TheOnlyMe - Sorry, but this & the other "Harry Potter" threads are closed groups.

vitacat · May 2011

It's been a frustrating week and I have to report no change!
I've stuck close to 1200 every day and haven't done anything naughty so I'm going to step up to 1300 for a few days to see if that makes a difference.
Here's to next week everyone

Probably coulda been higher but TOM came to visit recently

UGH! but a loss is a loss

eeyorelvr09 · May 2011

Good afternoon everyone. I hope everyone has enjoyed their Memorial Day weekend so far. I will be honest. I have been eating like I used to, not caring what I ate, but less bc my stomach can't hold as much. I am still down from last weeks weigh-in.but up 1.8 lbs from my weight loss over the past week. IMHO, that's not too shabby. Don't worry, I will not make this a habit. Without further ado, here is my weigh in for this week.

CW: 210.0

DEgal99 · May 2011

Checking in at 173.4 today!

A loss of 1.2 lbs!

JD92 · May 2011

well done everybody!

guess what... we have only 7 more weighins after today and that means.. its only 6 weeks and 4 days until Deathly Hallows PT2 comes out!!

:drinker: :noway:

what are your plans for the big day? dinner then the movie? a HP themed part-ay? will you be dressing up as your favourite character, in your Hogwarts uniform best, or as Dobby perhaps? who are you going with? i want DETAILS!

im in Florida on the big day, so if i can wangle it i may go to Harry Potter World that day or at least the day before (it'll be crazy there!!). ill have to beg the parents :happy: i really want to buy a wand and a scarf/hoodie/tshirt of any kind to wear to the movie. ill most likely just be going with my sister, i doubt my parents will go but if they want, thats fine.

JD92 · May 2011

i just LOVE this new poster. Neville is gonna be so kick *kitten*!!!

i just noticed on it, its says the 15th of july, rather than the 14th. ?? im okay with that, gives me extra time to get to HP World!!

corsayre8 · May 2011

Well hello everyone... any one there??? hello... HHHH EEEEE LLLLLLLLLLL OOOOO (echo)
how has the week gone? anyone tried anything new? Done anything exciting this week? How is your food doing?

Me not so great. I did but some fruit pops and did not buy the normal rocky road ice cream, but I still can not get away from all that sugar. I have tried walking away with a glass of water, BuT, I always go back and eat it anyways... :explode: How do I stop this???

I tried yoga this week and I am not sure about it. I think it is to slow for me... :yawn: I just felt like come on already lets go... I will try it again and give it a fair go.

Good luck everyone.

Not sure what type if yoga you tried, but know I have been to some real sleepers. I would suggest trying other classes - and or instructors. Bikram, ashtanga or vinyasa flow classes tend to be a better work out other gentle or gym yoga classes.

Good luck.

corsayre8 · May 2011

One pound down this week.

CW - 164

JD92 · May 2011

well done Corsayre8!!

this poster is currently my desktop background...

its a lot bigger, but i scaled it down to fit the post.

also, im going to try and add all of our Hufflepuff's to my friends list. i think i got to 5 requests before MFP told me I cant make more than 5 requests in a 10 minute period. boo!

Tamelaine · May 2011

Weigh in this morning--163.8! And on my period too, which absolutely shocks me. Usually I gain at least 3 pounds during and don't lose it again until at least a few days after.

lexiwho · May 2011

Weigh in - 257

cgeiser1 · May 2011

weighing in at 142. Slight gain :-( This week I am going to do better! Going to really try hard at the challenges, log every day, and get to the gym at least four days.
