    Tomorrow is weigh-in day! I can't wait to see us kick major butt! It's been a crazy week for me, starting a new summer class, a new job, and two new shadowships--I'm exhausted. So, I'm going to go off to bed and dream of victory tomorrow morning on the scale! Goodnight Slytherin!

    Also posting the challenges for this coming week that Uno just posted on the main board.
    Food Challenge:
    Try using different herbs, vinegar, citrus juices etc. as your spices instead of soy sauce and other sauces. A salad with either balsamic vinegar or one tbsp olive oil and one tbsp lemon juice is delicious! Add 1/4 cup parmasean cheese and some whole grain crackers as crutons and you have a very healthy and delicious cesar salad! Plain baked chicken with rosemary or red pepper flakes and garlic is delicious also! Experiment a little! :)

    Exercise Challenge:
    Try to up the intensity of your workouts 2-3 days this week! If you generally walk, try walking faster for a few minutes or do a little jogging. If you are strength training, try upping the reps some or increasing the weight. Just enough to stress your body a little bit but not to make you super sore. :)

    No loss this week but I guess it makes up for the 4lbs I lost last week. Boo, oh well. I'm still working out everyday and staying under my calorie goal so I should see a decrease next week. Sorry ladies.

    I am down 1.4 lbs, which was nice after last week's zero loss.

    I have officially removed four members who hadn't weighed in since week 2. Two more are slated to be removed tomorrow as this will mark their third week of not weighing in.

    Four members didn't weigh in last week and I hope that they come back! If we lose them, we'll only have twenty of us left! :(
    Here's the spreadsheet one more time. If you can't access it, message me or post on here and someone will get your loss posted for you. I've also backed it up on my hard drive in case we have meddlers try to access it again.

    I lost was half a pound again this week. That's 2 weeks in a row at half a pound :/
    I know I should be happy, at least it's not a gain and any loss is a good loss, but I still feel a little frustrated with my results. I've eaten within my calorie range everyday but 1, and this past week I upped my workout from 2 miles to 4 miles a day to try to boost my weight loss after only losing half a pound last week, but it doesn't seemed to have made any difference.

    This week I'm not going to snack at all after supper, and I'm going to eat less of my workout calories back. Hopefully I'll see a better loss next week!

    Sorry guys, up a pound this week. After no loss last week it is somewhat discouraging. I had a luncheon I had to go to yesterday...I did OK on calories, but I'm sure it was waaaay high in sodium, so I am hoping it is mostly water. Anyway, I am starting a new exercise regimen this week so hopefully that will help. I hate plateaus! Carry on Slytherin!

    Weight this week is 213, only one pound loss a week but at least is still going down. I actually reached 212 middle of the week but yesterday was my Anniversary and even though I only went about 100 calories over I'm sure the sodium was off the roof. We went to a Japanese restaurant which I know has tons of sodium in their food. On the good side I ate only half my rice, none of the noodles all the veggies and protein. I was extremely full and would probably won't eat the rice the next time. Hopefully, all the weight gain is sodium retention and it will be gone come Tuesday, my official weigh-in day.

    I can't reach the spreadsheet with my computer so please someone add my weight and thank you!

    I was not very good in the excersise part during the week. My leg is really hurting a lot so I have shun the excersise for a bit but yesterday I did some Wii to make up for going out and I really enjoyed it. I'm going to try to do at least 3 times a week next week even if the leg hurts. What the heck, it always hurts anyway!

    I'm going to wait until Tuesday afternoon to post our final percentage. So many non-weigh ins... I'm holding out a little longer.


    I hope no one is angry with my Monday at 11:00 rule and has quit because of it. :(

    Welp, the tally went:

    Gryffindor - 0.422%
    Hufflepuff - 0.407%
    Ravenclaw - 0.396%
    Slytherin - 0.393%

    We lost 12.4 lbs as a group.


    WE NEED TO RALLY THIS WEEK!


    There were nine team members who hadn't weighed in when I posted our percentage at 2:30 PM EST today, and we were the last group to post so I waited as long as I could. Hopefully they're all on vacation and are coming back to join us soon! :)
