Girl I got you! I know you said things were a little crazy at the moment so I thought I'd help by answering the only question I could lol.0 -
Hi Gryffindors! It's Wednesday! How are y'all doing?
Didn't get in exercise yesterday, unfortunately. No one to blame but myself. However, I've got play rehearsal tonight and we're learning the choreography so I'm sure I'll be sweating up a storm while having a blast.
PS: I'm so excited about this, I even made a Gyffindor-themed weight loss ticker!
I'm doing very well! Got in 45 minutes of cardio AND strength training for my legs yesterday!
Don't worry too much about missing a day of excercise. Sounds like you'll make up for it tonight! What play are you in? I used to do theatre as well, and coreography days are always GREAT excercise!
We're doing a revue called "Broadway Our Way" (we wanted "B****in' Broadway" but there are kids in the show, lol). In the past we've done Cabaret, City of Angels, Titanic, Aida, and the Sound of Music.0 -
I weighed myself on Monday, but didn't get a chance to post, so here goes:
CW: 249
SEPT 1 GOAL: 240
OCT 1 GOAL: 2350 -
Hope everyone is having a good week!! I am doing good with our calorie burn goal I am going to up my goal to 2000cals burned/wk I am already at 1364 and I have jazzercize tomorrow. Idk I will see, i might have to up it more?
Does anyone recommend a good heart rate moniter that shows the calories burned? I think that would be pretty cool to have. Some guided workouts I wonder If I am truly burning as much as mfp says. Some instructors kick your butt others don't doing basically the same workout.
This might be stupid, but I am not above asking stupid questions, do our weekly mini goal run Monday-Monday?
Hope everyone has a great weekend!! Do something cool and think of me!!!:drinker: :drinker:
I am working fri sat and sun 28 hours!!!! :noway:0 -

Have fun! We went last June the week they opened and it was insanity but AMAZING. Staying at the park had it's perks -- we got to go in a whole hour before the park opened to the public. People were waiting HOURS just to get into that part. I'm sure it's calmed down since then... I want to go back in the fall sometime! Drink lots of Butterbeer!0 -

UGH, Uno! Have lots of fun for all of us, and take some pics 0 -
I have to say that at first 1500 calories to burn didn't seem like a big deal, but this week has been soooo busy, and Monday is right around the corner!! I'm so glad I have the afternoon off and I can catch up a bit on the numbers!!0

Wazup, Gryffs? I think we're off to a great start to meet our goals for the start of term this year! Great work everyone!
When you check in and post your weights Monday morning, I'd love it if you could tell us how you did on this weeks challenge. Whether you struggled to meet the calories burned goal due to lack of motivation or just life making you busy, or whether you knocked this goal out of the park (and what you ended up burning, if you kept track)!
I think sharing our progress during the week is going to really help those of us who need that extra push from the outside, and those that don't need it quite as much will be inspiring the rest by sharing!
I'm going to keep the challenge this week pretty similar to allow those of us who are getting back into our grooves more time to really work it. So...
If you had trouble meeting the 1500 calories burned for the week challenge this week, keep that as your goal for this week. Try to pinpoint what the biggest factor keeping you from meeting the goal was (laziness, overwork, not getting enough sleep, etc), and purposely take steps to avoid that thing at least one day this week and get in your workout in spite of it! Post your progress at least once this week to keep yourself accountable, if you can!
If you had NO trouble meeting the 1500 calories burned for the week challenge this week, bump your goal up to 2000 calories to burn this week. Try to post at least one time you had to push yourself to complete your workout last week and what you did to motivate yourself to do it, to hopefully inspire someone who struggled and give them suggestions!
I really want this group to be more about improving each week by fixing bad habits, than just putting things off til we can 'start fresh next week' because it's too late to meet our original goals. I find that's a good attitude when there's nothing more we can do to change what's already happened, but just a fancy way to say 'procrastination' when there's still time to do something (even if its not what we originally planned). I struggle with this DAILY, so we all have something we can learn from each other, and a little progress is still progress. You can only fail when you quit, right?
Good luck this week, Gryffindors!0 -
Ok so it is 226 am here and i cant sleep, probably shouldnt have measured at this paticular time but i did. so instead of weighing myself i am going to measure. and let me tell you i didnt like what my measure tape just told me. kicking into high gear for sure!
start inches: (8/1) waist: 37 hips: 38 booty: 40
sept 1 goal: w 33 h 35 b 37
Oct 1 goal: w 28/30 h 30/32 b 34/36 (would be happy with either number for all)0 -

Ok, great! I'm thinking if you post the measurements separately (so you can see the progress on each separate measurement), I'll add them all up to have one number to put in the chart. It will be easier to track how many inches you've lost similar to everyone else's pounds lost.
What do you think of doing it that way?0 -
Good morning! I've gained 1 pound (up to 129) but after band camp I'm very inclined to think it's all muscle. :P
I'll measure myself this evening to see if I'm right. Last week, I burned 2719 calories. This is mostly from band camp.0 -
I'm 255.8! That's 2 lbs down
Last week was a bit weird for me, so I did awful at my exercise. I'm not even sure what I burned, but it wasn't much of anything to be honest. I plan on rocking it this week tho! Aiming for 1500 calories burned.
OH! and to answer the question of when the challenge runs: I plan to post the challenges Sundays so it will be up and ready to go for Monday check ins. The challenges start Monday and go through Sunday, and then the new ones start again on Mondays, etc.
Happy Monday, Gryffindors!0 -
Good morning Gryffindors!!!!
My stats this morning: Wt 143 (lost 1 pound*still on track*)
Cal burned: 1957/2000
I almost made it. Saturday I worked for someone then I decided to stay for a 16 hrs!!! Yicks! That wiped me out on Sunday and I had to work 8hrs. So my plans for working out went out the window. I go to jazzercize with my girlfriends 2-3 days a wk, It's pretty fun and a good workout. We also take family walks a few times a week and I made it a goal if I need something in town I am going to walk/bike. Walking everywhere has really upped my calories burned. Hope everyone has a good day I gotta move it jazzercize is in 45 mins!!0 -
As Tonks would say, wotcher Gryffindors!
My weight last week was 166.8. My weight this morning is 165.6 -- 1.2 pounds lost for the week! I'm still a half pound heavier than I was when I stopped consistently logging and exercising in May (I was finishing grad school and job hunting, which really made me not give a crap about what I was eating... Taco Bell was perfect for 1am while writing my dissertation). But I think only gaining 1.8 pounds between then and now isn't that bad! I was still trying to be conscious about what I was eating, but often made bad choices that I wouldn't have made otherwise.
I burned 914 calories this week. On a positive note, that's 4 calories more than MFP has for my weekly burned goal. On the downside, I didn't make the 1500 goal. It was definitely a lack of motivation on my part, combined with the disgustingly hot weather. I also commute an hour both ways to work, so by the time I get home I'm feeling like having a beer and kicking back in the yard with a book. However, our play rehearsals have kicked up to three times a week, so that's three days I will be dancing for at least an hour!
Last night I played soccer with my little brother. I've been playing since first grade, and I was on the school team in the fall, indoor travel in the winter, and outdoor travel in the spring/summer. I think there was only about a month that I wasn't on a field. I haven't played in seven years, but god did I miss it! Getting my foot on the ball was like coming home to something. I'm trying to find a non-paying league around here (they are expensive... I used to pay exorbitant amounts for my traveling teams), but my brother plays with his friends often and I think I'll try to get him to play with me as well. It's a great calorie burner and so much fun you don't even know you're exercising.
I'm going for the 1500 goal again, since I didn't make it this week, but I'm going to try and hit 2000 if I can! We'll see how it goes. Hope y'all have a great week ladies (I think we're all ladies here, anyway)!0 -

got me somewhat confused, what doyou mean separately? as in like one week do hips another week waist and so on?0 -

no, sorry for being confusing! i just mean you should post all three numbers each week, so if you look back at the thread we can see what each individual measurement is. then i'll just add the three numbers together each week so it makes more sense in the chart (and you can see how many total inches you've lost, where the rest of us will see how many pounds lost). does that help? i really didn't mean to be confusing 0 -

Hey Gryffindors!
Weighed in this morning at 206.2. Woohoo! It would've been a bigger loss, except my pals and I celebrated HP's birthday on Saturday night haha. My calorie burn last week was 2,319! I'm gonna push for 2,500 this week.0 -
So I am a huge Potterhead and i only recently started posting and making friends on this site, so i would love to join you guys! My current weight is 200lb and my goal by September 1st is 189lb. I would love to just generally be geeky and have some lovely post-potter depression discussion on here, and somehow use that that as a motivation for our weight loss. I look forward to getting to know all of you Gryffindors in our common room while losing weight, i just need to stay away from those chocolate frogs :P
