    Hi Matcha!! Glad to see you. Starting date was Sunday July 17 - but since this is an open group and we're not competing with other houses, weigh in is more flexible. If you don't have a weight for last Sunday, I can use the last weight on the HP Challenge.

    Ok, great. I think I'll start off with my latest weigh in then, which I think is from this Sunday anyway? So 66.7kg / 147lb :)

    I started running this week (trying to switch it up hoping for some results) and I have to run at 6:30 in the morning or its dreadful outside (I'm in NY). then I get back and take the kids and dog for a walk- still in their pjs so I can get it in before the sweltering heat hits

    4 1/2 hours waiting in 100+ degree weather. $25 for a picture. So worth it.

    I just registered my email address for Pottermore! :glasses: Last time I tried, it wasn't working - but now I'm all set to receive notices and reminders. Sounds like its going to be a really cool extension of the Potter books. I'm looking forward to it.

    This thread will stay active until October when Pottermore is fully revealed - or until the DVD is released - or until... maybe forever! We'll just have to see how it goes!

    He was super nice. When I thanked him for coming, he said, "Thanks, Love!" and there was a family in front of me in line who had a boy with them who was maybe 5or 6. When theytook the picture, Tom picked the little boy up and said, "We gotta make sure you're in this!" And this was after he had been doing it for 5 1/2 hours.

    That's so sweet! When I've seen him in interviews, he seems to have a great personality.

    Good morning Ravenclaw!! Here are this week's challenges:

    Water is SO important to your health, especially in the heat! For this week's food challenge, meet your water goal + 2 more cups every day (so that's 10 cups total). For an extra house point**, share with us your secret for making sure you drink enough water.

    Exercise challenge: Add 10 minutes of ab exercises to your routine. It's important to work opposing muscle groups together, so be sure you do some lower back exercises as well. Look on the internet and find something new to work your body in a new way.

    **Remember: You will earn a house point for each day you meet the challenges (1 for food and 1 for exercise) plus a house point for each day you post to the thread. Keep track and report your points earned when you weigh in each week. Good luck everyone!!

    I'm weighing in at 166.5 - down a pound from last week!

    My secret for getting in all my water every day: I have a 32 oz. water bottle on my desk at work - that's 4 cups. I just sip on that throughout the day instead of sodas or tea. I have another 32 oz. water bottle at home that I carry around with me when I work out, cook dinner, watch TV or whatever. There's my 8 cups!
