Harry Potter Weight Loss Challenge - GRYFFINDOR

OH NO, I forgot to weigh in on Sunday. Am I still in the game?? I just weight at it was 176 (down .5 lb, yay). Should I just wait and weigh in on Sunday??

Murelzgirl- You're still in, but your weight just doesn't count toward the official percentage for last week Go ahead and weigh in again this Sunday for the next week, too!

Hoo-flippin-rah!!!!!!!!!!! This mornings weigh-in = 178lbs. I'm now in ONE-SEVENTYLAND!!!!!!!!! And although the view is loverly, I'm determined to make it to ONE-SIXTYLAND very soon...

Good luck Gryffindors!

Woohoo, that's awesome!

Todays weight = 164.2, loss of 1.6 Go us!!

Nothing again this week. I'm not too concerned about it since I've already made my goal. We will see what the last few weeks brings. Good luck everyone.

Sorry to say, the scales say I've put on 0.9lb this week (though that seems highly unlikely to be fat) but a series of unexpected events has resulted in me deciding to take a "week off" - still been getting plenty of exercise and logging my food but have made food and drink choices I wouldn't usually have done.

Next week will also be uber-chaotic and stressful, but after that things will be back to "normal".

1st May 136.6

21st May 134.4
28th May 132.9
5th June 132
12th June 131.5
19th June 130.1
26th June 131

Hey guys! You all gave me some great ideas for our challenges and I'm going to split them between this week and next week, so as not to have too much going on at one time.

Here's what I came up with for this week:

FOOD CHALLENGE:

For those of you struggling with meeting your calorie goals each day- try planning out your whole day's worth of meals either the night before or in the morning at least 3 days in a row this week. I suggest logging all of your food you are going to eat for the day when you're planning, but don't hit your green button until the end of each day, and you've double checked what you actually ate matches what you planned (adjust then if necessary). Only eat what you've logged ahead of time, unless you workout and need to eat some exercise calories (if you know about what you're going to burn, you can also plan those calories into your day when you do the rest of your planning, too). Don't be afraid to refer to your plan throughout the day to help remind you what you've allowed yourself and to help you stay on track!

EXERCISE CHALLENGE:

It's officially summer! If you can, try to get out and do some kind of activity that reminds you of summer at least once this week, even if it's not strictly exercise-related. Go swimming, lay out in the sun, wear flip flops, have a picnic or a cook-out (grilled veggies are the best!), you get the idea

Another week of no change. I need a spell to cast away this dang plateau. :sad:

This is last week's chart:

Again, if it's 0% you didn't lose, if it's 100% you didn't weigh in sometime recently, if its negative you gained, and if it's jibberish you haven't weighed in a very long time!

Our prefects from this past week are:

Pixycats and Mommyof3texans! Congrats on the hard work Prefects, and fellow Gryffindors! Let's kick it up a notch this week!

Oh yay, what a nice surprise!!
